Section 195.095, Florida Statutes, created the Approved Bidder List which required property appraisers, tax collectors and county commissions to select an approved vendor from the list to provide services for assessment or collection services or for the sale of electronic data processing programs or equipment. Vendors were required to submit an application, Form DR-415, to the Department for review. The approved vendors were placed on the Approved Bidder List and posted to the Department’s website. Counties were also required to follow a standard contract format to be included in all contracts. This approval process and standards are outlined in Chapter 12D-15, Florida Administrative Code. The purpose of this rulemaking is necessary to implement the provisions of Section 25 of Chapter 2010-138, Laws of Florida, by repealing Chapter 12D-15, F.A.C. The effect of this repeal is to remove the requirement of a vendor to complete the application and submit to the Department; removes the requirement that the Department is to establish a list of approved bidders; property appraisers, tax collectors and county commissions do not have to use approved vendors on the Department’s list; and the Department no longer requires a standard contract format.
