Contracts & Procurement Transparency

It is the responsibility of the Purchasing Department for the City of Grapevine to conduct purchasing in accordance with all applicable laws and city charter. The City of Grapevine follows a decentralized business model with the Purchasing Department to foster comprehensive purchasing policies and procedures throughout all city departments. The responsibility of the Purchasing Department is to stimulate competitive bidding in order to provide materials and services at the lowest price and highest quality possible. The city uses an internet eBid service, Ion Wave, to support its transparency efforts by providing real-time information on open bids and requests for proposals, via a free registration link provided below.

The City’s mission is to provide quality service to our customers and vendors, by implementing and supporting processes that provide timely, cost-effective, and high-quality contracts. With the implementation of the Transparency Stars Program by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts, there is an additional standard of excellence that the City of Grapevine will strive to achieve.
