Public Bid Threshholds
Posted by Glenys R Salas on Apr. 30, 2026 / Subscribe 1
I'm updating our purchasing policy. Newtown's public bid/RFP threshold is $50,000 but Connecticut General Statutes set the threshold at $35,000. Do any other towns have higher thresholds than the state and what is the legal rationale for the higher threshold? Thanks!
