F04CLOSURES
It is recommended that a resolution be passed
authorizing the purchase of_6 Portable Radio
Units under a State of Florida Contract from
Motorola, Inc. at a total cost of _�_41.,9 4.00,
The Department of Building and Vehicle Maintenance has requested the
purchase of 6 Portable Radio Units.
This equipment is available on State of Florida Contract No. 725-52-82-1
with Motorola, Inc.
The Florida State Purchasing Division of the Department of General Ser-
vices bids and awards contracts on a yearly basis for the supply of
equipment, materials, and services to the various State agencies
throughout the state.
Bidding large quantities usually results in lower prices.
Purchases may be made from State Contracts by any county, municipality,
or other local public agency, and such purchases are exempt from the
competitive bid requirements otherwise applying to their purchase as
provided in Florida Statutes, Section 287.042(2).
State Contract General Conditions contains the following:
4.b. Political Subdivisions: Under Florida Law use of
State Contracts shall be available to political
subdivisions (county, county board of public
instruction, municipal, or other local public agency
or authority), which may desire to purchase under
the terms and conditions of the contract. Such
purchases shall be exempt from the competitive bid
requirements otherwise applying to their purchases.
It is usually more economical for the City to purchase from State
Contracts, which offer lower prices based on large quantities.
Additionally, the City saves the cost of advertising and mailing
by not having to bid.
