REASONS The purpose of Chapter 62 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Sunny Isles Beach (the "Procurement Code") is to provide for the fair and equitable treatment of all persons involved in purchasing by the City, to maximize the purchasing value of public funds in procurement, and to provide safeguards for maintaining a procurement system of quality and integrity. Chapter 62 applies to all contracts for the procurement of supplies, services and construction entered into by the City. Chapter 62 currently requires that the City Commission shall approve all purchases of or contracts for materials, supplies, equipment, public improvements or services where the total amount to be expended is more than $25,000.00. The City desires to amend Chapter 62 of the City Code to state that purchases less than $50,000.00 may be made by, or enter into, by the City Manager without submittal to the City Commission,but shall otherwise require compliance with the competitive bidding requirements set forth in Chapter 62. This increased spending limitation is in conformity with neighboring municipalities that authorize expenditures up to $50,000.00 without City Commission approval. •
