CITY OF PHOENIX
PUBLIC/PRIVATE COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL PROCESS
BACKGROUND
The
City of Phoenix has received national and international recognition
as a well managed city. One of the reasons the City has won
this recognition is the City’s public/private competitive
proposal process. City departments and private contractors
compete in a public bid situation to determine who can best
provide services to customers. The process was invented by
the City of Phoenix in 1979 and it has been used in the fourteen
service areas indicated below. Refuse collection has received
the most recognition.
