30. Truth-in-Negotiations.

City Council Regular Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed policy for professional service contracts over $150,000.00. Architects and engineers entering into these contracts with the City of Port Orange will be required to sign a truth-in-negotiations certificate. This certificate confirms that wage rates and other cost information provided are accurate and up to date. If the City later finds that costs were increased due to inaccurate information, the contract price may be adjusted downward within one year after the contract ends. This policy is currently under review by the City Council. The implementation of this policy would primarily involve legal and administrative processes for contract management. It does not directly involve physical construction or site work at this stage. Local businesses involved in professional services, particularly those contracting with the City for architectural or engineering work, should be aware of this upcoming requirement. Understanding these new contractual terms early can help ensure compliance and proper cost accounting.
