POL - Process for Protest 2009

  • YEAR CREATED: 2009
  • ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is a set of guidelines and procedures for vendors who wish to protest or appeal decisions made by the City of Natchitoches' Office of Purchasing in Louisiana. The document outlines the process for vendors to follow if they have concerns about a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation to Bid (ITB). It states that the Purchasing Director will review the protest and issue a decision, which will be communicated to the protesting bidder in writing. If the protesting party believes there was an error in the decision, they have the right to appeal to the City Purchasing Director, but the appeal is limited to the matters brought forward in the original protest. The protesting bidder must submit a Protest Appeal Statement within three business days of the Purchasing Director's decision. The City Purchasing Director will then review the appeal request and make a determination, which will be communicated to the protesting bidder in writing. The document emphasizes that simply notifying the City Purchasing office of the intent to protest does not reserve the right to protest, and that a formal protest must be filed within the specified deadlines and in the proper format. Casual inquiries or complaints that do not comply with the specified requirements will not be considered as a protest or an appeal.
