DHS requires at least two bids, but if your state or local regulations require more then you have to do that instead.
If vendors refuse to bid get documentation to that effect so it can be proven that you tried.Brian P. Vickers

Our town requires large ticket items (I believe over $25,000) must go out to bid.
As Brian pointed out document everything. In the my file for the brush truck is:
1) A list from the purchasing agent of the 7 manufacturerers that were sent bid proposals.
2) The 1 actual bid that was recieved.
3) The letter from a second manufacturerer stating they would not bid on the project.

Man, how many forums could I fill with lawyer jokes right about now...
Anywho, the department is spending $100K Earl, not just your $5,000 match. Since you are requesting it and it touches your bank account it doesn't matter where it came from. Ran into that question a few times already with some departments.Brian P. Vickers
