Materials and Equipment Procurement

The PCMCD has a long-standing practice of purchasing equipment and supplies at substantial savings through Florida State Contract pricing, military surplus facilities like Starke, and government rates for computer and office supplies. Mosquito control chemicals are acquired through competitive bidding to ensure the lowest cost for taxpayers. Vehicles are also purchased using state contract pricing, resulting in considerable savings. The district typically retires vehicles once they reach 100,000 miles and frequently receives a high return at auction. Due to the excellent care PCMCD provides for its vehicles and equipment, they are often seen as prime auction purchases, yielding better-than-expected returns.
