Vendor Selection for Auction
Vendor selection to carry out an auction on behalf of the city is based on the City of Robinson’s purchasing policy. The policy requires purchases over $3,000 and under $50,000 to get at least 3 quotes. If a city is obtaining bids between $3,000 and $50,000, state law requires local government to contact at least 2 historically underutilized businesses.
