Purchasing Department

Purchasing, Contracts, and Public Works Operations:

Value is maximized by ensuring goods and services, including public works projects, are obtained at fair and reasonable prices, or best value, to ensure tax payer dollars and public funds are expended wisely. In carrying out its fiduciary responsibilities as a steward of public funds, the department serves as the District's primary resource for the interpretation and application of California procurement statutes, codes, regulations, and purchasing policies and procedures to ensure the District is compliant with all applicable laws in order to minimize legal liability.
