Procurement

Doing Business with @neorsd

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Purchasing Department is responsible for the management of the acquisition of all materials and services required to sustain the operations of the District in a timely, cost-effective manner.

• Materials and services costing less than $75,000 are processed by requisitions. After approval, the Purchasing Department requests vendor quotations and issues the purchase order to the lowest and best quoter, or best delivery if a rush order.
• Materials and services costing more than $75,000 are processed only after the Board of Trustees’ authorization. The Purchasing Department advertises for bids for materials or the user department issues a request for proposal for services. The bids are opened publicly and read out loud. The user department evaluates the bids or proposals, determines the lowest, best bid/proposal and submits a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval. The Purchasing Department processes the award and issues a contract and purchase order when required.

Procurement by paper bid (Paper bids are phasing out later this summer)

Engineering contracts are processed by Purchasing as follows: Bids are advertised for solicitation on the website: On this website the bidders use the download hyperlink to get the plans, specifications and bid packages. Bids are received, opened and read out loud on the schedule day and time in the public meeting room. Bids are tabulated and summarized, then are forwarded to the user department in charge and then the Legal Department. The Engineering Department determines which bidder meets our requirements and requests approval to award a contract. Purchasing processes the contract after approval by the Board of Trustees.

Procurement by electronic bid (Via the OpenGov portal):

Engineering contracts are processed by Purchasing as follows: Bids are advertised for solicitation on the website and the NEORSD OpenGov portal. Bidders should use OpenGov to view any project related documents/information and electronically submit bids. Electronic bids will remain sealed until the specified day and time, at which point they will be automatically unsealed and totals will be publicly posted. Bids are tabulated and summarized, then are forwarded to the user department in charge and then the Legal Department. The Engineering Department determines which bidder meets our requirements and requests approval to award a contract. Purchasing processes the contract after approval by the Board of Trustees.
