See. 18.89. Contracts for public works or
improvements.
(a) Any public work or improvement may be
executed either by contract or by the city labor
force, as may be determined by the city commis-
sion. There shall be a separate accounting as to
each work or improvement. Before authorizing
the execution by the city labor force of any work or
improvement or phase thereof, the city manager
shall submit to the city commission a description
of the anticipated scope of work and related cost
estimates.
(b) All contracts for public works or improve-
ments in excess of $215,000.00 shall be awarded to
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder af-
ter public notice on the basis of competitive sealed
bidding methods, as provided herein or as pro-
vided in applicable Florida Statutes, whichever is
determined to be in the best interest of' the city;
provided, however that if, on the basis of the
competitive sealed bidding methods, the amount
of the bid submitted by a bidder with a local office
is not more than ten percent in excess of the
lowest other responsive and responsible bidder,
such local bidder may be offered the opportunity
of accepting the contract at the low bid amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the city man-
ager may waive competitive sealed procurement
methods by making a written finding, supported
by reasons, that a valid emergency exists or that
there is only one reasonable source of supply,
which finding must be ratified by an affirmative
vote of four -fifths of the city commission after a
properly advertised public hearing. When compet-
itive sealed procurement methods are waived,
other procurement methods as may be prescribed
by ordinance shall be followed, except for the cone
of silence provisions;
(c) Public notice shall be in accordance with
the applicable Florida Statutes.
