Acquisitions made by the Town of Walden are made through the following methods:
The town often hires consultants to assist on individual projects. Pre-solicitation actions may include a Request for Information (RFI) to assess marketplace availability, business qualifications, and other market research factors. Competitive solicitations are issued through Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
For goods, services, or construction needs, the town solicits contractors and vendors through an invitation for Bids. These purchases are based on written specifications and awarded by written contract to the lowest or best responsive and responsible bidder, following advertisement for and submission of sealed bids.
