Other exemptions <br />LMC information memo, <br />Competitive Bidding <br />Requirements in Cities. <br />Several other types of contracts qualify for an exemption from competitive <br />bidding, which the League’s memo on Competitive Bidding discusses in <br />more detail. <br /> VII.

Cities and other political subdivisions <br />Minn. Stat. § 12.37. <br /> <br />Handbook, Public Safety and <br />Emergency Management. <br />Under Minnesota’s Emergency Management Act, cities, counties, towns, <br />and metropolitan airport commissions have authority to enter into <br />contracts and perform other duties during emergencies without following <br />many of the normally required procedures, including: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Minn. Stat. § 471.345. <br />• Arranging for the performance of public work. <br />• Contracting. <br />• Incurring obligations. <br />• Employing temporary workers. <br />• Renting equipment. <br />• Purchasing supplies and materials. <br />• Complying with limitations on tax levies. <br />• Appropriating and expending public funds, including publication of <br />ordinances and resolutions, advertisement for bids, provisions of civil <br />service laws and rules, competitive bidding, and budget requirements <br />(in other words, during an emergency, a city does not need to follow <br />the procedures in the uniform municipal contracting law). <br />Minn. Stat. § 12.03, subds. 2, <br />3. The Emergency Management Act defines an “emergency” as an <br />unforeseen combination of circumstances that calls for immediate action to <br />prevent a “disaster” from developing or occurring. <br />Minn.

The statute defines “disaster” as a situation that creates an actual or <br />imminent serious threat to the health and safety of persons, or a situation <br />that has resulted or likely will result in catastrophic loss to property or the <br />environment, and for which traditional sources of relief and assistance <br />within the affected area are unable to repair or prevent the injury or loss.
