  § 46-4. Authority to purchase personal property and services.  

Latest version.

  • Except as otherwise provided by law or this chapter, all purchases of personal property and services, regardless of the source of funding or revenue, shall be made in the name of the County, by written contract, approved by and executed on behalf of either the Board of Supervisors or the Purchasing Agent.

    The Purchasing Agent shall be authorized and is hereby required to rent or make purchases of personal property for, and let contracts by which independent contractors provide services to, the County, County officers or departments, and using agencies upon issuance of a purchase requisition.

    The Purchasing Agent shall be authorized to contract with persons specially trained, experienced, expert and competent to perform special services for the County, County officers or departments, or any district or court in the County which consists of services, advice, education or training for said public entities or employees thereof in the areas of financial, economic, accounting, engineering, legal, medical, therapeutic, administrative, architectural, airport or building security matters, and laundry or linen services, and may include maintenance or custodial matters if the location for provision of service is remote, within the monetary limits provided in California Government Code.

    The Purchasing Agent may delegate authority to County department heads to make direct purchases by contract, credit card or open account within specific prescribed limits as determined by the level of certification in Center-Led Contracting/Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual.

    Deputy authority delegated from the Purchasing Agent shall be in writing and shall be filed in the offices of the County Clerk-Recorder, the County Auditor-Controller and the County General Services Department; shall be at the sole discretion of the Chief Administrative Officer; and shall be contingent upon staff in that department acquiring and maintaining certification in Center-Led Contracting/Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual with continuous demonstration of separation of duties. Increasing levels of "tier" certification shall require demonstrated competency in lower tier transactions and may require additional training.
