Title
A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Authorizing The Issuance Of A Blanket Purchase Order With The Broward Sheriff’s Office For The Purchase Of Medical Supplies, Fire Equipment And Janitorial Supplies In The Estimated Amount Of $150,000.00.
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department requires an agreement for the supply and delivery of medical, fire equipment and janitorial supplies for use by the Fire Rescue personnel.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office (“BSO”) has established a program to allow governmental entities to purchase medical, fire equipment and janitorial supplies directly from the Sheriff at their cost without mark ups or handling fees. BSO requires all governmental entities that desire to participate in this program to execute a release and waiver of liability form.
Section 38.40 (C) (8) of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance provides that purchases of, and contracts for, supplies or contractual services, when the City Commission declares by a five-sevenths affirmative vote that competitive bidding is not in the best interest of the City, are exempt from the competitive bidding process.
