WHEREAS, this Board previously approved Resolution No. R-737-09, which granted members of the Board of County Commissioner the authorization and flexibility to seek out the most competitive price for goods and services not exceeding $10,000.00 and to make such purchases with discretionary spending account and office budget funds without having to comply with the requirements of Administrative Order 3-38 or the Department of Procurement Management�s Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the County has a duty and obligation to review its procurement and purchasing processes with respect to small purchases under $10,000.00 and the leasing of County vehicles that are made by the County administration using other County funds in order to ensure that taxpayers� are obtaining such goods and services at the lowest possible price,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board hereby directs the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to review the County�s processes for making small purchases under $10,000.00 and for leasing County vehicles in order to recommend changes to such processes that would make the purchasing of goods and services under $10,000 and the leasing of County vehicles more efficient and that would save taxpayer dollars, and directs the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to submit a written report to this Board with the results of such review and the Mayor�s or Mayor�s designee�s recommendation within sixty (60) days of the effective date of this resolution.
