Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager requesting the Commission increase the City
Manager's purchasing authority without formal bids from
$4,000 to an appropriate level between $10,000 and $15,000.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Commission to
consider increasing the City Manager's purchasing authority
without formal bids from $4,0.0.0. to a level between $10.,0.0.0. and
$15,0.0.0..
cONSIDERA TIONS:
At the October 27th City Commission Meeting, Commissioner
McLeod requested the City Manager survey local government to
determine the level of purchasing authority without, formal bids
being utilized by other communities.
He also requested the City's current $4,000 authority established in
1974 be calculated to today's equivalent purchasing authority by
use of the Consumer Price Index. Below is the information
requested:

The Consumer Price Index for 1974 was 49.3, and for the first half
of 1997 was 159.9. This is an increase of 224.34%. The
equivalent purchasing threshold at today's dollars is $12,973.60.
On October 7, 1997, the City Commission of Altamonte Springs
increased their purchasing authority without formal bids from
$10,000 to $15,000. The reasons cited were:
· Consistency with the State of Florida Threshold.
· City's threshold has remained unchanged since 1991.
· Inflation has increased costs of goods and services.
The City Commissioners of Lake Mary and Oviedo will consider
requests to increase their purchasing authority without formal bids
based on similar reasons cited by Altamonte Springs.
FUNDING: None
REcOMMENDA TIONS:

Manager's purchasing authority without formal bids from $4,000 to
an appropriate level between $10,000 and $15,000; and authorize
