Small Purchase ($2,500 or less) - for these types of purchases, only one price quotation is needed, although LHA reserves the right to seek multiple quotes to ensure price fairness. Small Purchase ($2,501 to $50,000) - requests for price quotes will be made (either verbally or in writing) with the goal to obtain at least 3 competitive quotes. Award is based on the lowest acceptable quotation. Acceptance of any offer other than the lowest quote must be justified in writing and becomes part of the record. Sealed Bids ($50,000 & up) - these will be advertised in the Public Notice section of the Lincoln Journal Star, with information on whom to contact to obtain a bid package. Competitive Proposals (Request For Proposal/Qualifications) - this method of procurement may be used if LHA determines the conditions are not appropriate for sealed bidding. An example would be professional services such as auditing, legal or architectural, where experience and other factors become part of the final selection decision. Non-Competitive Purchases - these are purchases over $1,000 that are not subject to the above guidelines for any of these reasons: a)only one source is available b) an emergency exists c) competition is determined inadequate d) HUD authorization received. Insurance   LHA does require anyone doing work on LHA property to provide proof of adequate insurance. Prior to performing any work, you may be asked to provide a certificate of insurance for General Liability, Automobile & Worker Compensation.
