Procurement

Stewardship message

“Stewardship of public funds is a fundamental responsibility of county government. The public must have confidence that public funds are spent prudently and transparently on its behalf, with proper planning and evaluation, in a manner that is open and fair to all.

Under the direction of the Board of County Commissioners (“BOCC”), the Garfield County Procurement Code (this “code”) sets forth the policies and procedures that earn that confidence by demonstrating awareness and adherence to applicable laws and a commitment to promote competition, maximize purchasing power, and ensure fair opportunity and equitable treatment of all who seek to do business with the county.

The purpose of this code is to guide county personnel in fulfilling their obligations to the public, grantors, vendors, and contractors in the expenditure of public funds. The code is a comprehensive reference manual for both county personnel and outside parties who have an interest in the county’s procurement and contracting processes. It is intended as a guide to good procurement practices and is to be used as a supplement to sound business judgment in procurement and contracting.”
