For purchases under $10,000, the Purchasing Department may obtain price quotations either by fax, written or verbal. When the Board elects to contract for the construction or reconstruction of roads or bridges, the Road Commission must advertise for sealed proposals if the cost is expected to exceed $20,000.

Advertisements for sealed bids are published in the Grand Rapids Press (MLIVE), on the Kent County Road Commission’s website and through PlanWell at www.e-arc.com for construction/reconstruction projects.
