Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser
or reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with
competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known
as “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three
dimensions of performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The
generally accepted definition of Andrew Savitz for TBL is that it “captures the essence of
sustainability by measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the
world…including both its profitability and shareholders values and its social, human, and
environmental capital.”

conclusive. Failure of Contractor to correct, rectify or modify its prices or quality within five (5)
days of being advised in writing to do so shall be cause for default. Contractor shall not offer
for sale gift certificates, vouchers, punch cards, or other similar services, except to the extent
the same are restricted and limited in duration to one year or less.

unless the Contractor has previously notified the City in writing of a need for such repairs,
and the City has failed to commence and complete said repairs within a reasonable period
of time following receipt of the notification.
