The document outlines the procedures for emergency purchases within the City of Everett. It defines an emergency purchase as a response to unforeseen circumstances that pose a threat to essential functions or may result in loss or damage if immediate action is not taken. Emergency purchases must adhere to the City's Standard Procurement Policy and Federal Emergency Contracting Policy. The process involves requesting ratification for the emergency purchase, detailing the emergency facts, justifying the approval, and obtaining signatures from department directors, the city attorney, and the mayor or their designees. Competitive bidding is not required for emergency procurements, but efforts should be made to include practical competition. The document also specifies the declaration of emergencies by the City Council, Mayor, or Department Director, and the necessary steps for reporting and ratifying emergency purchases made without competitive bidding.
