Legal Documents of Newport

When an award is made by the City of Newport requiring a signed contract rather than a purchase order for construction or major projects, the original comes to the purchasing department for the mayor's signature. An original of the executed contract and associated documents will be retained in the bid file. The bid file is located in the purchasing department.

A purchase order properly endorsed by the city purchasing agent or his designee and one accepted by the vendor, also forms a binding contract. (Ord. #07-19-05-01, July 2005)
