This effort I() reflects a more proactive approach to procurement management and enhances transparency for 1 both the City Commission and the public; and 12 WHEREAS, currently, the City utilizes five purchasing methods to procure goods and 13 services: Purchase Orders, Blanket Purchase Orders, P-121 (Check Requests), Field Orders (Special 14 Orders processed through Materials and Distribution), and P-Cards. Throughout the fiscal year, 15 Procurement Services implemented enhanced controls and reporting mechanisms to more 16 effectively capture and monitor total vendor spend across all purchasing methods and 17 departments. At present, this process is highly labor-intensive and requires the consolidation of 18 multiple data sources through manual Excel exports and reconciliations; and 19 WHEREAS, as part of the FY25 audit review, several vendors were identified whose total 20 annual expenditures exceeded the Commission approval threshold. These overages resulted from 21 a combination of emergency situations, limited interdepartmental coordination, and urgent 22 operational needs, with purchases occurring across multiple departments; and 23 WHEREAS, these vendors include: 24 Original Approved Request to Total Spend with Amount Over Procurement Vendor Name Amount Ratify Vendor Approval Exemption Pat's Pump&Blower, $ $ $ $ Sole Source Inc. 41,425.74 36,593.00 78,018.74 3,018.74 Cintas(There were $ $ $ $ Piggyback multiple Vendor#'s) 85,000.00 30,000.00 115,000.00 40,000.00 AT&T(There were $ $ $ $ Piggyback 25 multiple Vendor#'s) 75,000.00 175,000.00 250,000.00 175,000.00 26 WHEREAS, while each individual transaction complied with applicable procurement 27 requirements at the time of purchase, the cumulative annual vendor spend exceeded the approval RESOLUTION NO. R26-008 28 threshold when evaluated from a Citywide perspective. Pursuant to the City's updated 29 Procurement Policy, the City Manager's approval authority is limited to expenditures up to 30 $75,000, and therefore, all expenditures over $75,000 require the commission approval; and 31 WHEREAS, to ensure full transparency and maintain public trust,the Procurement Services 32 Division is presenting these items to the City Commission this evening for ratification. The City 33 Commission can expect to see more of these ratifications until we get all the data cleaned up; and 31 WHEREAS, looking ahead, as the City continues to implement the Workday ERP system, 35 staff anticipate significantly enhanced real-time visibility into Citywide purchasing activity. This 36 system will allow vendor expenditures to be reviewed holistically and at a glance, further 37 strengthening internal controls and providing increased transparency into the goods and services 38 procured by the City; and 39 WHEREAS, the City Commission, upon the recommendation of staff, has deemed it in the 40 best interests of the City's citizens and residents to ratify the Fiscal Year 2025 expenditures and 41 authorize the revised annual amounts with Pat's Pump & Blower, Inc., Cintas, and AT&T. 42 41 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON 44 BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT: 45 SECTION 1.
