		Statement of Purpose The Town of Waterford Purchasing Department is committed to the procurement of quality goods and services in a cost-effective and timely manner while adhering to legal and ethical requirements as established by local, state, and federal laws and regulations, sound internal controls and professional purchasing principles.

Purchasing is responsible for the procurement of a variety of municipal needs, ranging from office supplies and professional services to heavy equipment and some construction projects. The purchasing agent processes requisitions from town departments and administers both the request for proposal and invitation to bid processes. Town ordinance requires that the procurement of goods and services be purchased at the lowest cost from a qualified vendor through a fair and equitable practice.

Purchases over $5,000 require a formal process. Advertisements are placed in legal classifieds of The New London Day and at the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services' website, www.das.state.ct.us/Purchase/Portal/PortalHome.asp a minimum of two weeks before the bid or proposal is due. Vendors submit these bids and proposals in a sealed and clearly marked envelope by the deadline listed in the specifications or scope of services. The purchasing agent publicly opens and reads the submissions immediately after the deadline.

Bid and proposal documents listed here can be downloaded using Adobe Acrobat Reader software, which is available free of charge at www.adobe.com. Bid results are available by contacting the purchasing agent.
