Contract Management functions as the Central Purchasing Department for the Board of County Commissioners.  Our primary duty is handling purchases over $50,000 for the Board of County Commissioners. This includes working with all departments to create Requests for Proposals, Requests for Qualifications, and Invitations to Bid to solicit for goods and services as needed.

 

Contract Management also oversees contracts executed by the Board of County Commissioners. We work with the County Attorney’s office to create the contracts and help the departments to administer them throughout their life cycle.
