Description

Procurement is divided into service groups:

• Professional and Construction Services (A&E/ Construction). Manages the procurement of construction, architectural/engineering and other professional consultant services.
• Environmental Purchasing Program. Provides County personnel with information and technical assistance to help them identify and evaluate economical and effective recycled and environmentally preferable products.
• Equal Benefits. In Apr. 2004 King County passed an ordinance stating that contractors doing business with the County with contracts in excess of $25000 shall not discriminate when providing benefits to domestic partners. Known as the Equal Benefits ordinance, contractors are required to complete a compliance worksheet in order to receive a contract from the County.
• Goods and Services (G&S). Manages the procurement of goods, supplies, equipment, materials and technical consultant services.
• Project Control (PCO). Established by Executive Policy and Procedure CON 7-10-01; works with Construction Projects over $10M and Consultant (Professional and A&E) Contracts over $2M. The Project Control Officer (PCO) is also available to assist with other contracts regardless of value.
• Technical and Consulting Services. Manages the procurement of non-A&E consulting, including appraisals, studies, evaluations, and promotional campaigns, as well as technology oriented contracts such as software and systems analysis.
