Ordinance 001-2017ORDINANCE NO. 001 - 2017
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA AMENDING SECTION 2 -347 OF THE
MONROE COUNTY CODE TO ADD INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES TO
THE CLASS OF SERVICES ELIGIBLE FOR EXEMPTION FROM
COMPETITIVE BIDDING; AMENDING SECTION 2 -346 OF THE
MONROE COUNTY CODE TO DEFINE THE TERM "INVESTIGATIVE
SERVICES"; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Section 2 -347 of the Monroe County Code establishes the competitive
bidding procedures for certain county contracts; and
WHEREAS, Section 2- 347(e)(5) of the Code provides for certain exemptions from
competitive bidding; and
WHEREAS, "investigative services" are currently not exempt from the competitive
bidding requirement under Section 2- 347(e)(5) of the Code;
WHEREAS, the Board finds that "investigative services" are the type of service under
which expertise in a particular field or type of investigation is of significant importance, and
similar to the types of services already exempted from competitive bidding under Section 2-
347(e)(5)d. of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that when hiring a person or firm to conduct "investigative
services ", price is only a minor concern compared to qualitative considerations; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds it necessary to amend Section 2 -346 of the Code in order to
define the term "investigative services" for use in the context of 2 -347 of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds it beneficial to add "investigative services" to the class of
vendors exempt from the requirements of competitive bidding under Section 2- 347(e)(5)d. of the
Code;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida that the Monroe County Code is hereby amended as follows:

firms, individuals, and activities regulated under chapter 493, Florida Statutes, but
Page 1 of 2

d. Legal services, lobbying services, investigative services, interpreter
services, court reporter services, and advertising services.

by the Secretary of State pursuant to the process set forth in Section 125.66(2),
