a. Approval of Third Party Contracts. The Department specifically reserves the right to review

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-06-01 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of DeLand's process for approving third-party contracts related to a project. The Department reserves the right to review and approve all contracts, including those for consultants and commodity purchases, before the Agency spends any funds. This review process applies to any amendments as well. If the Department's approval is not obtained, payment may be withheld. The Department also has the right to review and approve the qualifications of any consultant or contractor. This contract review process is mandatory if Federal Transit Administration funds are used. The item is currently under review as part of the City Commission's regular meeting agenda. This process could lead to future work in areas such as consulting, construction services, and material supply, depending on the nature of the project that requires these contracts. Early engagement with the Department and Agency could provide insight into upcoming needs.
