Parks Board Presentation 10/24/2022 Solicitation Estimated Timeline (Business Days) FSD Central Purchasing Contract Management Responsibilities Revenue Contracts vs Expenditure Contracts Parameters for Writing Revenue Generating Contracts • To establish a contract, the Net Contract amount should exceed a revenue of $5000 • Revenue deposits to the City must coincide with ordinances established by the various City, state and federal agencies • The Net Contract amount is not an expense to the City How does alcohol sale/CUP impact the writing of a revenue generating contract? • The City would want to have the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in place before soliciting for such a contract. If the CUP is not granted, alcohol sales cannot occur on that site and the solicitation should be reflective of this restriction. This is because alcohol sales provide high profit margins and can be a central focus of how a vendor plans profit. Contract Execution Authority • Central Procurement Office is responsible for Contracts executed by the City in excess of $5,000.00 and has final oversight of the contract. • Department Directors and their designees have delegated Authority to execute contracts under $5000. • Some departments have delegated Authority to execute contracts of a specific type.
