  • ENTITY TYPE: County
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is a section of the Purchasing Policy of a county called "FLORIDAS NATURAL CHOICE." The purpose of this policy is to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all individuals involved in public purchasing, maximize the value of public funds, and maintain a procurement system of quality and integrity. The document establishes the creation of a Purchasing Committee, composed of various officials and employees appointed by the County Manager, to propose, review, and recommend procedures for procurement. The Committee also has the power to audit and monitor the implementation of procedures but does not have authority over the award or administration of specific contracts or disputes. The document also mentions the review and recommendation of standardization on the use of brands, makes, and types of supplies. Standardization is authorized by the County Manager based on factors such as equipment compatibility, cost savings, and ease of maintenance. User departments can be exempt from utilizing standard specifications with approval from the County Manager. The document also discusses delegations of authority to other County Officials for awarding contracts and the accountability of those individuals. It mentions the requirement for individuals making purchases exceeding a certain amount to file a statement of financial interest. Department Directors or their designees have the authority to authorize purchases in emergency situations, and the Director of Library Services has the authority to award purchases, leases, or acquisitions of library materials up to a certain amount.
