County staff to update procurement ordinance to align with recent state law changes
Summary
The board directed staff to begin reviewing and updating the county procurement ordinance to reflect increased state spending thresholds and new digital notice provisions in state law (Titles 32 and 36).
County staff informed the Board of Commissioners that recent changes in state law (Titles 32 and 36 referenced) increase thresholds for competitive bidding and allow more digital methods and altered timeframes for procurement notices. The board authorized staff to review the county procurement ordinance and bring proposed updates to mirror the state changes.
Staff said they had consulted with Mr. Pruitt and identified several sample county ordinances for comparison; the review will focus on spending thresholds, electronic notice allowances and procedural timeframes. No formal ordinance change was adopted at the meeting; the item was informational and staff were cleared to proceed with drafting revisions for future board consideration.
