The document outlines the requirements for advertising competitive bids or proposals for state construction projects costing over $200,000 in Florida. It specifies the publication timelines in the Florida Administrative Weekly and local newspapers, as well as the public bid opening procedures. Emergency circumstances allow for alterations to the standard procedures. Similar requirements are outlined for county, municipality, or other political subdivision construction projects. Any changes to bid opening details must be promptly communicated to registered parties. The document also prohibits the division of a construction project to evade the advertising requirements. The term "emergency" is defined in the context of unexpected events posing risks to public health, safety, property, or essential governmental services.
