Subject: Renewal option for Ordinance No. 12654 extending the amendment to City Code Section 18-
89(b) regarding applicability of 10% Local Preference for Contracts for Public Works or Improvements
Requesting Department: Capital Improvts & Transport
District Impacted: All
Purpose of Item:
® Ordinance ❑ Emergency Ordinance ❑ Discussion. Item
To exercise the additional one-year period renewal option provided by Ordinance No. 12654
concerning the applicability of Local Preference, in the continued effort to stimulate greater
competition and reduction in the costs of City Public Works and Capital Improvement Projects.
Background Information:
On February 10, 2005, the City Commission enacted Ordinance 12654, amending Section 18-89(b) of
the City Code, eliminating the language that references the applicability of the ten percent (10%) local
preference practice for Public Works or Improvements. This change has resulted in lower, more
competitive costs for City projects and has improved the delivery of projects for the benefit of the
City's residents.
It is necessary and beneficial to utilize the renewal option to extend this amendment for one additional
year in the continued effort to encourage highly qualified and competitive construction contractors in
the South Florida region and elsewhere to bid on City jobs.
This extension will also help to minimize the number of change orders and contract increases often
necessary when some local contractors have difficulty performing at the lower contract amounts they
are required to match under Local Preference.
