POL - Protest Appeal

  • ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
This document outlines the appeals and remedies process for protests regarding the solicitation or award of a city contract in Arvada, as per Article VI of the Arvada Purchasing & Contracts Ordinance. It states that before filing a written protest to the city manager, any bidder or contractor with a grievance must first seek resolution with the purchasing manager. If an appointing authority becomes aware of a grievance, they must promptly notify the purchasing manager. The document specifies the time period within which a written protest must be submitted, either before the opening of bids or the closing date of proposals. It also states that if a timely protest is filed, the solicitation or award of the contract cannot proceed until a written decision is issued by the city manager or their designee, unless the award is deemed necessary to protect substantial interests of the city. If a written decision is not issued within 14 days or within an agreed-upon longer period, the protest is considered denied. The document includes contact information for Tim Wellmann, a procurement specialist at the City of Arvada.
