Division of Purchasing

Overview

RULE:

60AER23-4

Suspension of Rule 60A-1.045(4), F.A.C.

SPECIFIC REASONS FOR FINDING AN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE:

Executive Orders 23-171 and 23-172 declared a state of emergency for the State of Florida because Invest 93L, now Tropical Storm Idalia, poses a severe threat to the State of Florida and requires that timely precautions are taken to protect the communities, critical infrastructure, and general welfare of this State.

REASON FOR CONCLUDING THAT THE PROCEDURE IS FAIR UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES:

The procedure is fair in that it temporarily relieves administrative burdens related to all agencies’ emergency purchases for Tropical Storm Idalia; provides at least the procedural protections given by other statutes, the State Constitution, or the United States Constitution; and takes only action that is necessary to protect the public interest under the emergency procedures in a manner that treats all similarly affected state employees fairly.

SUMMARY:

This rule suspends the provision of Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., requiring submission of the Form PUR 7800 to the Department for all emergency purchases.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE EMERGENCY RULE IS:
