SB3109

SB3109 modifies spending thresholds for county purchases and contracts.

SB3109 amends the Counties Code to change the spending thresholds for county purchases and contracts. It raises the limit for purchases and contracts that can be let without advertising for bids from $35,000 to $45,000 for data processing equipment, software, and telecommunications services. It also increases the threshold for purchases of local materials, equipment, or supplies from $30,000 to $40,000. The bill specifies that these purchases must be made through competitive bidding, except in cases of emergency or expedited replacement of disabled, inoperable, or damaged patrol vehicles.
