A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA,
DECLARING SUPPORT FOR PROPOSED CHANGES TO
SECTION 287.055, F.S., ALSO KNOWN AS "THE

"CCNA ".
WHEREAS, local and state agencies throughout Florida are experiencing severe and
significant reductions in revenue; and
WHEREAS, professional services agreements constitute a significant public expenditure;
and
WHEREAS, many local and state agencies through out the United States routinely
compare fees among competing firms before selecting an architect or engineer or other
professional consultant; and
WHEREAS, current Florida law limits the ability of local and state agencies to conduct
competitive negotiations; and
WHEREAS, several public organizations, including the Florida Association of Counties,
the Florida Governmental Finance Officers Association, the Florida Association of Public
Procurement Officers, and the National Institute of Government Purchasing support the use of
alternative procurement methods for the acquisition of professional services; and
WHEREAS, the proposed language would modify the existing state law and would give
local and state agencies the discretion to competitively compare fees, conduct concurrent
negotiations, and make a best value selection that considers qualifications and price among pre -
qualified firms.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA, that the City of Ocoee supports the proposed legislation
