Summary Explanation and Background:
The proposed revisions to the Board's Policy BCC-27, "Construction Contracts," address Section 218.755, Florida Statutes, which was created by the Florida Legislature during the 2025 Session and went into effect on July 1, 2025. This Section of the Florida Statutes requires that when the County receives a price quote for a change order requested or issued by the County for a construction project, the County must approve or deny the price quote and send written notice of that decision to the contractor within thirty-five (35) days after receipt of such quote. If the County issues a denial notice, the notice must specify the deficiencies in the price quote.
The following are the proposed revisions to Board Policy BCC-27 to meet Section 218.755, Florida Statutes:
1. Section II. C. proposed a revision to the definitions of Change Order
2. Section II.N. proposed adding Section 218, Florida Statutes, "Prompt processing of change orders."
3. Section III.3.d. proposed revision to this subsection, "Unless otherwise required by law, all Change Orders..."
4. Section III.3.f. the proposed revision to this subsection includes the language in Section 218.755, Florida Statutes, for processing, by the County, a price quote received from a contractor for change orders requested or issued by the County.
