North Carolina statutes provide a flexible methodology for municipalities to receive bids without the formal bid process required by GS 143-128.2 and GS 143-129. For projects over $500,000, the state requires a formal bid process. The Town of Carrboro has elected to be more restrictive than the state statutes and requires a formal bid process for projects costing $300,000 or more. For informal bid projects, the Town invites individual businesses to submit bids for the project.
The policies of the Town prohibit discrimination against any person or business in pursuit of business opportunities on the basis of age, sex, race, creed, national origin, disability or on the basis of sexual orientation or gender expression/identity. The Town promotes fair and open competitive solicitation process, wherever practicable.
