Effective Date: July 1, 2002 Page No.: 1 of 1

I.     PURPOSE

To establish guidelines for emergency purchases.

II.    SCOPE

This policy applies to all Town departments involved in the procurement process.

III.   GENERAL

Emergency purchases require authorization by the Town General Services Manager.

Emergency Defined:

An emergency is a situation that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly and demands immediate action to prevent delays which may vitally affect the life, safety, or health of the public or Town employees, or the continuation of services to the citizen, or serious loss or injury to the Town.

Failure to exercise reasonable planning or anticipation of routine needs is not justification for using emergency procedures.

The Purchasing Division will issue an Emergency Identification Number (E.I.N.) verbally upon request when an emergency occurs. This number will coincide with the department's purchase order number. Refer to Division 5, PP-020 “Emergency Purchases” for detailed instructions.
