This item concerns limits on contracts that exceed $25,000 and have a term longer than one year. It incorporates Florida Statutes Section 339.135(6)(a), which states that the Department shall not spend money, incur liability, or enter into contracts exceeding budgeted amounts for the fiscal year. Contracts made in violation of this are void. The Department must get a statement from the comptroller confirming fund availability before entering into such contracts. Contracts for periods over one year are allowed but are executory only for the value of services in succeeding fiscal years. This paragraph must be included in all Department contracts over $25,000 with terms longer than one year. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work involves ensuring compliance with state statutes for future contracts. This process requires legal and administrative services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor future contract opportunities that may arise from this policy, as early engagement before formal bidding can be advantageous.
