    Cleveland Metroparks is entitled to purchase supplies and services outside of a purchase contract (i.e. - Ohio Cooperative Purchasing Program) and without complying with competitive selection procedures if the purchase can be made at a lower (or equal with better conditions) price than is available through such a contract. An affidavit (copy available in Sample Forms Index) is required that validates the vendor’s promise that the product or service is equivalent in all aspects and specifications as well as a copy of the equal or lower price quote.
