0] G <br />C <br />LEE COUNTY <br />Committed Today for a Better Tomorrow <br />LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ITEM ABSTRACT ITEM NO. V. E. <br />_ Information <br />Meeting Date: October 19, 2009 Action Item <br />XX Consent Agenda <br />11 <br />SUBJECT: Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy <br />DEPARTMENT: Finance <br />CONTACT PERSON: Lisa G. Minter, Finance Director <br />REQUEST: Amend the Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy <br />SUMMARY: On July 20, 2009, the Lee County Board of Commissioners adopted <br />the Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy. Since the <br />implementation of that policy on August 1, 2009, the County <br />Manager has received several requests that the County posts its <br />informal and formal request for bids on its website. The Finance <br />Department has worked with IT to set up the functionality and is <br />working with the departments to post bid requests as they are done. <br />Management feels that it is prudent to amend the policy to add the <br />website posting requirement so that the policy is clear not only to <br />our departments but to our vendors also. The policy is also being <br />amended to add that informal requests for bids must be posted for <br />at least five (5) business days. <br />BUDGET IMPACT: N/A <br />ATTACHMENT(S): Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy (changes are <br />shaded) <br />PUBLIC HEARING: No <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION: Adopted the Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy on <br />July 20, 2009 <br />RECOMMENDATION: Amend the Lee County Purchasing and Contracting Policy as <br />presented. <br />
