Requests for Bids, Proposals and Quotes

Many of the City’s requests for bids, proposals, and quotes; offer results; and notices of award can be obtained through Brea’s eProcurement Portal via Public Purchase, a third-party website that hosts the City’s eProcurements.

All necessary forms, specifications and other solicitation requests documents may be viewed and downloaded electronically. Businesses who have registered in Brea’s eProcurement Portal will receive email notices when a new request for bid or proposal relevant to their line of business is issued. Any interested party may view the City’s solicitations, as well as the bid results and final notices of award, by logging into the Brea’s eProcurement Portal and using the search features to locate the items of interest.

Please note that some of the Professional Services RFPs are listed under the Purchasing Activity below rather than through the City’s eProcurement Portal.

  • Demonstrated competence, professional qualifications, and a fair and reasonable price for Professional Services; or
