7.15.130 Definitions.
The following definitions apply for this chapter:
(a) “Contractual services” means services other than professional services performed for the City by persons not in the employment of the City, and may include the use of equipment or the furnishing of commodities in connection with said services under express or implied contract. Contractual services shall include: travel, freight, express, parcel post, postage, telephone, telegraph, utilities, rents, printing and binding, repairs, alterations, and maintenance of buildings, equipment, streets, bridges, and other physical facilities of the City, and other services performed for the City by persons not in the employment of the City.
(b) A “local bidder” is a person who:
(1) Holds a current State business license, and in addition for construction contracts, holds a current, appropriate State contractor’s registration certificate;
(2) Submits a bid for a competitive purchase or construction contract under the name as appearing on the person’s license and, where applicable, a certificate;
(3) Has continuously maintained a physical place of business within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, staffed by the bidder or an employee of the bidder for a period of ninety (90) days immediately preceding the date of the bid opening.

Mere maintenance of a mail box or telephone answering service, for example, is not sufficient to comply with this provision; and
(4) If a joint venture, is composed entirely of venturers that qualify under this section.
(c) “Management services” means services provided by a third party to manage or operate a facility or property owned by the City or services provided by the City.
(d) “Professional services” means all advisory, consulting, technical, research or other services, such as architectural, engineering, land surveying, legal and financial, which involve the exercise of discretion and independent judgment together with an advanced or specialized knowledge, expertise or training gained by formal studies or experience.
