The Procurement Department is the central authority regarding the procurement of all goods and services required for City operations. Procurement is responsible for assisting with the purchasing process to ensure goods and services are obtained at the best value, optimum delivery, and total overall best quality to meet the requirements of the requisitioning departments. This is accomplished by obtaining quotes, use of competitive bids and proposals, establishing interlocal agreements, and by enforcing procedures and controls.
Procurement must ensure that these responsibilities are met and are in compliance with Texas Local Government Code and the Texas Government Code, in addition to other relevant federal, state, and local statutes and codes.
