Ordinance No.
An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South
Miami, Florida, amending the City Code by creating Sec. 2 -8.1 to authorize
the use of cooperative purchasing to acquire goods and services required by
the City; Providing for conflict and an effective date.
Whereas, cooperative purchasing allows vendors to take advantage of economies of scale
and offer lower pricing than might be available to a single government entity, and
Whereas, utilizing cooperative purchasing to acquire goods or services provides the City
with the ability to immediately purchase from existing contracts of other government entities and
alleviates the need to obtain bids and/or proposals which can require numerous hours of labor
and delay the purchasing process, and
Whereas, cooperative purchasing gives the City access to the evaluations of technical
experts of larger government entities, with support from their technical, financial and legal
experts.
Now, therefore, be it Ordained by the Mayor and City Commission of the City of
South Miami, Florida:
19 Section 1. New Section 2 -8.1 of the City Code is created to read:

an open and competitive procurement process.
