City staff has identified an opportunity to procure library shelving for the new Ankeny Kirkendall Public Library through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Program. All products offered through TIPS Program have been awarded through a competitive bid process. This type of cooperative purchasing program is allowed under the City's purchasing policy as bids solicited by the United States of America or an agency thereof, the State of Iowa, Polk County or another governmental unit may be used as a replacement to the bidding requirements.
