County purchasing staff presented revisions to the county purchasing policy that are primarily editorial and corrective but add a compliance step for public‑works projects: bidders must provide Department of Labor registration documentation to show prevailing‑wage compliance, and subcontractors must supply registration before contract signing.

Purchasing Agent Julie/Julia Butler said no threshold changes were proposed and the additions are intended to align bidding documents with prevailing‑wage Article 8 requirements. County counsel and the county council’s office said the change will be added to bidders’ checklists and included in standard contract forms to reduce post‑award negotiation.

The committee moved the purchasing‑policy revisions to the floor and approved them by voice vote. Staff said the updates are intended to streamline procurement and ensure contractors meet statutory registration requirements before contract execution.
