Your first contact for information about doing business with
the district will be with the Purchasing department.
Call Purchasing at 949-582-4680 and ask to speak to a buyer.
You will be asked several questions to determine which
buyer would likely purchase the goods and services you supply.
The
buyer will ask you questions about your company and the products
and services you can provide, such as: product/service availability,
pricing, and other companies you have serviced. The
buyer may request a meeting to discuss, in greater details,
business opportunities with the district. You will be
asked to submit to the buyer's attention a letter of interest
including your name, company address, phone number and a description
of your products or services.
The
District is required to formally bid for expenditures of more
than $15,000 for construction services and more than $78,900
for materials, supplies, or non-construction services to be
furnished, sold or leased (California Public Contract Code
Section 20651). All bids are listed on the district website.

For goods and services below required bid amounts, the buyer
will use a variety of methods to secure competitive prices:
telephone (oral) and written requests for quotes, as well
as formal bids.
The
buyer's responsibility is to find the best value. Value
is judged as the ability to obtain a product or services of
specified quality at a designated time and at reasonable and
competitive price. Lowest prices is not the sole determinant.
Delivery time, payment terms, quality of the goods
or services may also be considered.
