ENCOURAGING THE USE OF FLORIDA CONSULTING FIRMS BY 
FLORIDA GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.

It is the official policy of the Florida Engineering Society that it is in the best interests of
the citizens of Florida for any governmental agency in Florida expending public funds for selecting or procuring professional engineering services to give primary consideration to selecting qualified Florida consulting engineering firms to provide such services when there are Florida firms, or individuals which are qualified, competent, willing and available. Further, FES encourages the work to be performed by Florida professional engineers who reside in Florida.

It is further the official policy of the Florida Engineering Society that the best interests of the citizens of Florida will be served by qualified professional engineers, who are
familiar with the technical and professional services required on each project, to be
