Resolution 20-31.66 — Procurement Policy The City Clerk read Resolution 20-3166 by title, as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, REPEALING RESOLUTION 15-2807, PURCHASING POLICY, AND RESOLUTION 08-1938, SALE OF SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY POLICY AND PROCEDURES; AND CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING A NEW PROCUREMENT POLICY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: City Manager Randy Newlon stated that Resolution 20-3166 provides for the repeal of Resolution 15-2807, Purchasing Policy, and Resolution 08-1938, Sale of Surplus Real Property Policy and Procedures, in their entirety and adoption of a new Procurement Policy. Mr. Newlon advised this was an update of the existing procurement policy with some significant changes that included: tying the policy to State Statutes so the policy automatically changes with any changes to the Statutes to be in line with those amendments; increases City Manager approval authority for small contract authorizations from $50,000 to $65,000; increases Procurement Administrator authority for small contract authorizations from $25,000 to $35,000; adds a new option for solicitation called Invitation to Negotiate; sets up a protest bond procedure to discourage frivolous protests of solicitations; and merges into this policy the rules relating to handling and marketing of surplus real property. In response to questions from the City Commission Mr. Newlon explained that the updates to the policy were a result of staff research and were mainly to bring the City's policies in line with requirements in the State Statutes. He added that the policies relating to surplus real property were already in place, but were just being merged into this larger policy, including raising of the thresholds relating to the land area and dollar value for requiring professional appraisal of the property.
