8 (5) Upon evaluation of bids for every public contract

12 bidders who have certified that the products or materials

19 used when considering life-cycle costing in evaluating bids.
20 The rules must take into consideration the specified warranty

22 relative to the cost of the products. In awarding a contract

17 that the product or material may be used beneficially, it may
18 incorporate that product or material into its procurement
19 procedures.

1 purposes of this section, "joint venture" means any
2 association of two or more business concerns to carry out a
3 single business enterprise for profit, for which purpose they

6 ventures to be eligible for credit against the minority

11 for a clearly defined portion of the work to be performed, and

6 costs of administration retained pursuant to paragraph (c).

8 to the telephone company prior to the collection of any "911"
9 fees.
10 3. Any county that currently has an operational "911"
11 system or that is actively pursuing the implementation of a
12 "911" system shall establish a fund to be used exclusively for
13 receipt and expenditure of "911" fee revenues collected
14 pursuant to this section. All fees placed in said fund, and
15 any interest accrued thereupon, shall be used solely for "911"
16 costs described in subparagraph 6. The money collected and
17 interest earned in this fund shall be appropriated for "911"
18 purposes by the county commissioners and incorporated into the

20 financial audit performed on this fund, in accordance with s.

22 department Division of Communications within 60 days of its
23 completion. A county may carry forward on an annual basis
24 unspent moneys in the fund for expenditures allowed by this

26 a county carry forward more than 10 percent of the "911" fee

28 forward each year may be accumulated in order to allow for
29 capital improvements described in this subsection. The

6 installation charges authorized in subparagraph 6. Nothing in

8 of revenue for improvements, replacements, or expansions of
9 its "911" system. A county may increase its fee for purposes
10 authorized in this section. However, in no case shall the fee
11 exceed 50 cents per month per line. All current "911" fees
12 shall be reported to the department Division of Communications
13 within 30 days of the start of each county's fiscal period.
14 Any fee adjustment made by a county shall be reported to the
15 department Division of Communications. A county shall give
16 the telephone company a 90-day written notice of such fee
17 adjustment.
18 4. The telephone company shall have no obligation to
19 take any legal action to enforce collection of the "911" fee.
20 The telephone company shall provide quarterly to the county a
21 list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any and
