EXHIBIT A
Purchasing Procedures and Manual
2 1. Introduction
This Purchasing Procedures Manual (Manual) is a guide to City purchasing practices providing an overview of purchasing objectives, policies, and functions. This Manual covers purchases for all goods and services including consulting services. Individual departments may have internal procedures more specific than those included in this Manual. If there is a conflict between the two, the more restrictive procedure applies.
The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department’s (LPFD) purchasing procedures are subject to a separate agreement between the City of Pleasanton and the City of Livermore. To the extent that agreement specifies certain contracts are processed by the City of Pleasanton, those contracts will adhere to this Manual.
Certain public works and professional service contracts are subject to specific procedures as set forth in the Pleasanton Municipal Code, the State Public Contract Code, as well as federal, state, and county funding source requirements.
2. Ethical Guidelines
2.1. Compliance with legal prohibitions on conflicts of interest, including the Political Reform Act and Government Code § 1090, is required.
2.2. Purchasing from or contracting with a business entity wholly or partially owned or operated by a City employee, or employee's spouse, is prohibited unless approved in advance by the City Manager. Any employee with such an ownership interest must have no official City role in the contracting process.
2.3. Purchasing from or contracting with a business entity wholly or partially owned or operated by a familial member of a City employee must be approved in advance by a City Department Head in writing. To avoid any purchasing conflicts and contract administration issues, any City employee with a familial relationship to a City contractor must disclose the relationship to his or her Department Head. Such employee must have no official City role in the contracting process. A familial relationship is defined as grandparent, grandchild, parent, child, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, parent- in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, or sibling relationship.
2.4. No City employee may participate in the contracting process if he or she has a financial interest with any person, firm, or business entity involved with providing goods or services to the City.
2.5. Departments must make every attempt to ensure open and competitive purchases.
2.6. Splitting purchases for the purpose of evading the procedures outlined in this document is strictly prohibited.
2.7. The receipt of any monetary or non-monetary gifts, gratuities, promotional items, rebates, or kickbacks of any value from a prospective or actual contractor or vendor to a City employee is prohibited.
Purchasing Procedures and Manual
3 2.8. Contractors or vendors who violate federal, state, or city laws or regulations may be subject to having their contracts cancelled by the City or may be disqualified from bidding or submitting proposals for goods or services.
3. Definitions
3.1. Administrative Guidelines: The City Council directs the City Manager or his/her designee to implement administrative and routing procedures with respect to the processing of purchase orders and invoices (see the Pleasanton Progress Intranet or the Finance Department for details).
3.2. Best Value: The best overall value to the City for goods and services based on all factors , including, but not limited to the following: (1) total cost; (2) the ability, capacity, and skill of the contractor to provide the desired goods and services; (3) the ability of the contractor to provide the desired goods and services promptly or within the time specified without delay or interference; (4) the character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the contractor; (5) the quality of the contractor’s performance on previous purchases or contracts with the City or requested references; and (6) the ability of the contractor to provide future maintenance, repair, parts, and services for the use of the supplies purchased.
The best value criteria used to select a contractor shall be submitted in writing to the Finance Department.
3.3. City-Based Vendor: A business with a physical business location in the city, a current city business license, and reports the City of Pleasanton as the point of sale to the Franchise Tax Board.
3.4. Competitive Bidding Process: A formal process through which the City solicits potential vendors or contractors for large purchases of general goods and services.
Under a competitive bidding process, the Request for Bids (RFB) must be issued to qualified vendors and the general public (on the City's website). Bids must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office by a predetermined time and date as outlined in the bidding notice.1
3.5. Competitive Selection Process: A process through which the City solicits interest in professional services contracts, either formally or informally, through a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The selection criteria are primarily based on project requirements and vendor qualifications after an interview process.
3.6. Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (CPA): Cooperative purchasing allows the City to buy goods or services based on a competitively bid contract done by another public agency, when that other agency and the vendor(s) agreed in advance to a cooperative process. When a CPA is in place, purchases may be made without a City competitive bidding process. A CPA must be submitted with any City Purchase Order or contract.
1 Practical Tip: Have bids due at 2 p.m. (well before the end of the business day) and not on a Friday.
Purchasing Procedures and Manual
4 Information submitted from a vendor simply indicating that it was the low bidder during a recent competitive bidding process with another agency may not be used in place of a fully cooperative purchasing agreement as noted below. A CPA can be:

To be considered, the CPA must be with a city, county, state, special district, or school district in California, and must be associated with a competitive bidding process that occurred within the last twelve months.
3.6.2. A cooperative purchasing program through the State of California (see California Multiple Award Scheduled (CMAS) through the California Department of General Services).

3.7. Direct Payment Claim Form: Used to request payment for goods and services for reimbursement or advances for authorized purchases included in the City budget, subscriptions or membership dues, refunds to consumers, or purchases when payment must accompany an order. There is no limit on the dollar amount of a Direct Payment Claim Form.
3.8. Emergency Procurement: Purchases of goods and services necessary to avoid or mitigate a clear and imminent threat or danger where delay could result in loss of life or danger to health, welfare, or property or threaten the continued operation of the City or the provision of essential services. The City Manager may enter into emergency procurement contracts. Contracts awarded through an emergency procurement require that the City Manager present a report to the City Council, at the next available meeting, describing the emergency, the actions taken, and the number and dollar amount of the contracts awarded.
3.9. Formal Bidding: A process through which the City solicits interest for public works projects above the applicable dollar limitation set forth under Section 22032 of the Public Contract Code.

3.14. Qualified Low Bidder: A vendor meeting all the qualifications of the City specifications at the lowest price.
3.15. Professional Services Contract:2 Contract between a provider of professional services (e.g. accounting firm, architect, engineer) and the City to provide a service for a set period of time.

The contract must follow the procedure for its total contract price (e.g. a contract for $30,000 a year for five years is a $150,000 contract).

3.18.1. Open Purchase Order (Open PO): An ongoing Purchase Order with multiple purchases over a period of time within the fiscal year. Open POs must have a “not-to-exceed” price limit. This not-to-exceed price is the official value when determining which procedure to use.

Purchasing Procedures and Manual
7 3.21. Sample Documents: Sample Documents such as service agreements and contract amendments are located on the Pleasanton Progress Intranet.
3.22. Sole Source Vendor (or Provider): Under certain circumstances, it is acceptable to specify a brand name for the purchase of goods and to use a Sole Source Vendor or Service Provider.3 Even under these circumstances, competition is encouraged.

3.22.1. Adherence to manufacturer's specifications.
3.22.2. No other available vendors, manufacturers, or service providers.
3.22.3. Equipment manufacturer is the only qualified vendor to repair the equipment.
3.22.4. City staff familiarity with the performance of products in critical and/or safety situations (e.g. specific valves for water and sewer systems).

3.25. Travel and Training Purchases: Purchases related to travel and training are not subjectto this policy. For more information, review the Travel and Training Policy.
3 When drafting a Request for Bids (RFB) that will allow for a sole source provision of maintenance or parts, you must also allow for an "approved equal" - a vendor selling comparable and substitutable goods or services - and describe the process and timing for the consideration of a proposed equal.
Purchasing Procedures and Manual
8 4. Purchasing Procedures
Price thresholds apply to total contract or purchase order prices for each separate vendor's contract or purchase order, even if vendor has multiple contracts or purchase orders with different departments or different projects within the same department. 4 For multi- year contracts (but the maximum contract term should not exceed five years), the price category should be determined using total, rather than annual, contract price. 5 Purchases exempt from these procedures include utilities (e.g. water, electricity, and telephone), pass-through payments collected on behalf of a third party, goods sold by government agencies, employee benefit payments, legal services, purchases related to travel and training, and emergency procurement . Contact the Finance Department for details and further information.
Some purchases may require approval by other City employees in addition to those listed in the following procedures. For example, a software purchase may require the approval of the Director of Information Technology. If your purchase falls into a category that requires special approval, the City' s financial system will notify the City employee responsible for the procurement.
4 For example, if Library & Rec. has a $55,000 purchase order (PO) with Acme Printing for the Summer Rec.
Guide, that would require price quotes and City Manager (CM) approval. Then, if Economic Dev. has a $75,000 PO with Acme Printing for a summer newsletter, that also requires price quotes and CM approval. The $55,000 and $75,000 are not cumulated to trigger competitive bidding and council approval. Similarly, if Library & Rec. has another PO with Acme Printing that same fiscal year for FHAC programs for $65,000, the $55,000 rec guide and $65,000 FHAC programs are treated as separate and distinct contracts or purchase orders; again, these PO amounts are not cumulative.
5 Multi-year contracts may also include an inflation adjustment provisions based on the Consumer Price Index (or other inflation index), language about annual rate adjustments to which both parties agree in advance, or rate changes based on changes in State prevailing wages.

6.2 Entrance Salary
The entrance salary for a new employee entering the City service shall be the minimum salary for the class to which he/she is appointed.

The specific rate of pay within the range shall be determined by the City Manager, whose decision shall be final; provided, however, that the employee's rate of pay shall not be set at a lower rate than they would have received had the employee remained in the lower class.
6.7 Certification Pay

APPENDIX A – Definition of Unforeseeable Emergency
For purposes of Section 12.6, the following is the definition of "unforeseeable emergency" as defined by Treasury Regulation § 1.457-6(c)(2):
An "unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship of the participant or beneficiary resulting from an illness or accident of the participant or beneficiary, the participant's or beneficiary's spouse, or the participant's or beneficiary's dependent (as defined in section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); loss of the participant's or beneficiary's property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by homeowner's insurance, such as damage that is the result of a natural disaster); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the participant or the beneficiary. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the participant's or beneficiary's primary residence may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the cost of prescription drug medication, may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Finally, the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent (as defined in section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)) of a participant or beneficiary may also constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this paragraph (c)(2)(i), the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not unforeseeable emergencies under this paragraph (c)(2)(i).
