Methods
of Procurement
Competition
is essential when doing business with the City of Fontana.
Most procurement actions with a dollar value of $1,000.00 or more
will be competitively bid. This may be in the form of E-Mail
quotes, telephone quotes or written bids. All purchases
in excess of twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars are formally
bid and subject to approval by City Council.
