Only the Director of Supply Chain Services or an action of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board) can authorize or commit the LADWP for the purchase of materials, services, or equipment. All Board awarded contracts are subject to review and action by the Los Angeles City Council. No payment will be made for any goods delivered or services rendered without a purchase order.

About Competitive Bidding
Competitive bidding is the primary method to obtain solicitations. Competitive bids are not subject to negotiations and an award is made to the lowest and best regular responsible bidder. Such determination may be made on the basis of the lowest ultimate cost to LADWP of such materials or equipment in place and use. All qualified suppliers will be given an equal opportunity to do business with the LADWP and utilizes competitive bidding to award contracts.
