Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the definitions established in the attached rules apply herein. The term “contracting agency” as used in the attached rules includes contracting agency’s chief administrative officer, his or her designee, or any other purchasing agent, as designated by city policy.

Repealed by Ord. 1283. [Ord. 1143 § 2, 2005.]
2.55.030 Rules prescribed.
The model rules adopted by the Attorney General pursuant to ORS 279A.065 do not apply to the city. Instead, the city hereby prescribes the following rules, which include portions of the Attorney General’s model rules, as the rules of procedure that the city will use for its public contracting: Public Contracting Rules, Chapter 137, Divisions 46, 47, 48 and 49. While the numbering of these rules reflects the numbering system of the Attorney General’s model rules, they incorporate city changes to the model rules, and, therefore, are not the Attorney General’s promulgated administrative rules. City exemptions are also set forth in these rules, as numbered Exemptions 1 through 18 (E-1 through E-18). All above-referenced rules are attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter and incorporated herein by this reference. [Ord. 1143 § 3, 2005.]
2.55.040 Rules subject to review.
In accordance with ORS 279A.065(5)(b), the city shall review its public contracting rules, adopted herein, each time the Attorney General modifies its model rules in order to determine whether amendments are required to ensure statutory compliance. [Ord. 1143 § 4, 2005.]
2.55.050 Amendments.
Repealed by Ord. 1216. [Ord. 1143 § 5, 2005.]
2.55.060 Exemption procedures.
Special procurement requests and approvals shall be made in accordance with Division 47 of the attached rules and ORS 279B.085. Public improvement contract exemption procedures, including notice and public hearing requirements, shall be in accordance with Division 49 of the attached rules and ORS 279C.335. [Ord. 1143 § 6, 2005.]
2.55.070 Model cost accounting guidelines.
The model cost accounting guidelines developed by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services pursuant to Section 3, Chapter 869, Oregon Laws 1979 are hereby adopted as the city’s cost accounting system to apply to public improvement projects exceeding $5,000 and constructed with city’s own equipment or personnel (ORS 279C.310). For such public improvement projects estimated to cost more than $200,000, or for certain road maintenance projects exceeding $125,000, city shall also comply with the requirements of ORS 279C.305. [Ord. 1283 § 2(c), 2024; Ord. 1143 § 7, 2005.]
