THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE FOLLOWING REQUEST CONCERNING <br />PURCHASES FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS OUTSIDE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S <br />AREA: <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />f <br />INTER -'OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Conmiissioners <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />DATE: 3_17_81 <br />FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Request for Purchases for Other <br />Departments Outside the County <br />Administrator's Area <br />REFERENCES: <br />1. Description and Conditions <br />The Materials Management Department has been requested to purchase <br />items for governmental departments outside the Administrator's area <br />of responsibility. We can support these requests and furnish the <br />materials requested; however, there is an administrative cost <br />associated with these purchases. <br />2. Alternatives and Analysis <br />Each purchase process does take time and an administrative mark up <br />should be assessed. For all items we carry in stock, 10% would be <br />a fair mark up. On all items of capital expense; i.e_., equipment, <br />the department can be billed directly and therefore, no administrative <br />expense is incurred. <br />3. Recommendation <br />t <br />It is recomnended that we continue to purchase for departments outside <br />the Administrator's area of responsibility when requested. That those <br />items we have in stock and we incur an administrative handling cost, <br />a 10% mark up be included in the bill. For those items that we can <br />have the department billed directly, no marX- up be assessed. <br />tda 46 PS E IA <br />
