This is an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners amending various sections of Chapter 2. Article four, Division II of the Pasco County Code of Ordinances. Relating to purchasing, providing for changes to definition of terms, providing for clarification of the purpose of these sections, providing for changes in purchasing limits and delegation of authority in certain instances, including emergency purchases, providing for changes to local preference, clarifying restrictions on communication during the solicitation

   49:13process, providing for changes to unauthorized purchases, requisitions and estimates, encumbrance of funds, authorization for the use of electric. Electronic media and signatures, ethical conduct and sanctions, higgyback contracts, provide for requests for statement of qualifications and invitation to negotiate as methods of procurement, providing for changes in the bid protest procedure, providing for changes related to central stores, providing for changes to authority to debar and debarment and reinstatement, prohibition against award to certain persons and entities, donations, providing for clarification of declaration of surplus lands

   49:43and alternative disciplines. Acquisition methods and unsolicitation unsolicited proposals, providing for severality, providing for inclusion in the code, and providing for an effective date. This is the second reading and we do have a short presentation on what has changed since we presented it to you at the first meeting. Next slide please. So since we read it to you on the 25th of October, we have taken your comments into consideration and we have taken the emergency authority at $250,000

   50:14for purchasing director and we are leaving it at $100,000 as in the current ordinance. For the local preference, we also did not make any changes, so the final version has no changes to the local vendor preference policy. For the cybersecurity award, we took the recommendation of the board and increased the county administrator's award authority to $500,000, and then the board would approve anything over $500,000. And then on the donation acceptance, we did increase department, I'm sorry, County Administrator approvals to $25,000.

   50:46Do we have any questions? Good changes.
