No. With the City and related organizations, anything over $75,000 has to go to an RFP process, anything under can be sole sourced. For projects that go to RFP, CMLC or any public organization (and any partners) can ultimately decide who they really want anyways (regardless of a scored evaluation criteria, where goalposts can constantly be moved depending on who's looking at it). This is way more common in the public sector than you think. Been doing RFPs for spanning three decades now.
