Board of Bids and Contracts
The Board of Bids and Contracts was established by City ordinance in 1956 as an advisory board of the City Commission. Since its inception, the development of the Board of Bids and Contracts has focused a large portion of the responsibility for purchases where the statutory limitation applies and formal bid procedures are followed. It is, therefore, necessary to thoroughly examine the policies and procedures of the Board of Bids and Contracts before a complete understanding of the purchasing process of the City of Wichita can be achieved. Board Members Information The Board of Bids and Contracts is composed of the City Manager, who serves as Chairman; Director of Public Works, Vice Chairman; Director of Finance; City Attorney; and Budget Officer or their duly appointed representatives. The duties and jurisdiction of the Board of Bids and Contracts are set forth by ordinance. The Board is empowered to review all bids for public improvements (streets, sewers, etc.), and bids on all purchases, and forwards their recommendations to the City Council for final approval. In carrying out their responsibilities, the Board has developed policies which aid in the determination of awarding purchase contracts. Meeting Calendar The Board of Bids and Contracts meets every Monday at 10 AM in the Board Room on the first floor of City Hall. Meetings are open to the public.
