| 3 | Amendment |
| 4 | Remove lines 109-178 and insert: |
| 5 | this paragraph, the term "repair" means a corrective action to |
| 6 | restore an existing public facility to a safe and functional |
| 7 | condition and the term "maintenance" means a preventive or |
| 8 | corrective action to maintain an existing public facility in an |
| 9 | operational state or to preserve the facility from failure or |
| 10 | decline. Repair or maintenance includes activities that are |
| 11 | necessarily incidental to repairing or maintaining the facility. |
| 12 | Repair or maintenance does not include the construction of any |
| 13 | new building, structure, or other public construction works or |
| 14 | any substantial addition, extension, or upgrade to an existing |
| 15 | public facility. Such additions, extensions, or upgrades shall |
| 16 | be considered substantial if the estimated cost of the |
| 17 | additions, extensions, or upgrades included as part of the |
| 18 | repair or maintenance project exceeds the threshold amount in |
| 19 | subsection (1) and exceeds 20 percent of the estimated total |
| 20 | cost of the repair or maintenance project using generally |
| 21 | accepted cost-accounting principles that fully account for all |
| 22 | costs associated with performing and completing the work, |
| 23 | including employee compensation and benefits, equipment cost and |
| 24 | maintenance, insurance costs, and materials. An addition, |
| 25 | extension, or upgrade shall not be considered substantial if it |
| 26 | is undertaken pursuant to the conditions specified in |
| 27 | subparagraph 1. Repair and maintenance projects and any related |
| 28 | additions, extensions, or upgrades may not be divided into |
| 29 | multiple projects for the purpose of evading the requirements of |
| 30 | this subparagraph. |
| 31 | 6. If When the project is undertaken exclusively as part |
| 32 | of a public educational program. |
| 33 | 7. If When the funding source of the project will be |
| 34 | diminished or lost because the time required to competitively |
| 35 | award the project after the funds become available exceeds the |
| 36 | time within which the funding source must be spent. |
| 37 | 8. If When the local government has competitively awarded |
| 38 | a project to a private sector contractor and the contractor has |
| 39 | abandoned the project before completion or the local government |
| 40 | has terminated the contract. |
| 41 | 9. If When the governing board of the local government |
| 42 | complies with all of the requirements of this subparagraph, |
| 43 | after public notice, conducts a public meeting under s. 286.011 |
| 44 | after public notice, and finds by a majority vote of the |
| 45 | governing board that it is in the public's best interest to |
| 46 | perform the project using its own services, employees, and |
| 47 | equipment. The public notice must be published at least 21 14 |
| 48 | days before prior to the date of the public meeting at which the |
| 49 | governing board takes final action to apply this subparagraph. |
| 50 | The notice must identify the project, the components and scope |
| 51 | of the work, and the estimated cost of the project using |
| 52 | generally accepted cost-accounting principles that fully account |
| 53 | for all costs associated with performing and completing the |
| 54 | work, including employee compensation and benefits, equipment |
| 55 | cost and maintenance, insurance costs, and materials. The notice |
| 56 | must specify that the purpose for the public meeting is to |
| 57 | consider whether it is in the public's best interest to perform |
| 58 | the project using the local government's own services, |
| 59 | employees, and equipment. Upon publication of the public notice |
| 60 | and for 21 days thereafter, the local government shall make |
| 61 | available for public inspection, during normal business hours |
| 62 | and at a location specified in the public notice, a detailed |
| 63 | itemization of each component of the estimated cost of the |
| 64 | project and documentation explaining the methodology used to |
| 65 | arrive at the estimated cost. At the public meeting, any |
| 66 | qualified contractor or vendor who could have been awarded the |
| 67 | project had the project been competitively bid shall be provided |
| 68 | with a reasonable opportunity to present evidence to the |
