Summary: This bill would require the City Chief Procurement Officer (CCPO) to ensure that one or more searchable and publicly accessible online interfaces provide information about city procurements that exceed the small purchase limits. Such interface(s) would need to provide information at key stages of the procurement process, including anticipated requirements prior to solicitation, solicitation summaries, contract award details, and total expenditures upon completion of the contract. Such information would be required to be published within 30 days of the relevant procurement event, except that pre-solicitation information would be required to be published no later than 15 days prior to the release of a solicitation document, to the extent such information is available. The CCPO would have discretion to determine the format of the online interface(s) and permit the omission of specific information where publication of such information would compromise public safety, reveal confidential information, or interfere with a law enforcement investigation.
