Water
As part of the agency’s mission, a state agency has implied authority to purchase items that ensure the safety of its employees. Therefore, an agency may use appropriated funds to purchase water and ice for outdoor employees working in hazardous heat conditions.
The agency must document the working conditions and retain the documentation as part of the procurement file.
