23. SBE PROGRAM

Item 1 – Policy It is the policy of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, that SBE(s) have the maximum practical opportunity to participate in the competitive process of supplying goods and services to the County. To that end, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a Small Business Ordinance which is codified in Sections 2-80.21 through 2-80.34 (as amended) of the Palm Beach County Code, which sets forth the County’s requirements for the SBE program, and is incorporated in this solicitation. Compliance with the requirements contained in this section shall result in a vendor being deemed responsive to SBE requirements. The provisions of this Ordinance are applicable to this solicitation, and shall have precedence over the provisions of this solicitation in the event of a conflict.

Item 2 – Contract Award Criteria For purchases made as a result of this solicitation, the County shall make an award to the vendor who is certified as a small business with Palm Beach County and who is within 10% of the lowest responsive, responsible vendor, providing that the small business is also deemed responsive and responsible to the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

Item 3 – SBE Certification Only those firms certified as a small business enterprise by Palm Beach County at the time of quote submission shall be counted toward the established SBE goals. Upon receipt of a complete application, IT

TAKES UP TO NINETY (90) DAYS TO BECOME CERTIFIED AS AN

SBE WITH PALM BEACH COUNTY. It is the responsibility of the vendor to confirm the certification of any proposed SBE; therefore, it is recommended that vendors visit the on-line Vendor Directory at www.pbcgov.org/osba to verify SBE certification.

Item 4 – Decertification As part of the consideration for quote award under the SBE Ordinance, any firm/proposer decertified by Palm Beach County shall be considered non-responsive to the SBE requirements.

24. LOCAL PREFERENCE ORDINANCE

In accordance with the Palm Beach County Local Preference Ordinance, a preference may be given to (1) quoters having a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or (2) quoters having a permanent place of business in the Glades that are able to provide the goods or services within the Glades.

A. Glades Local Preference: Pursuant to the Palm Beach County

Local Preference Ordinance, a 5% Glades Local Preference is given when a Glades business offers to provide the goods or services that will be procured for use in the Glades. If the lowest responsive, responsible quoter is a non-Glades business, all quotes received from responsive, responsible Glades businesses may be decreased by 5%. The original quote amount is not changed. The 5% decrease given for the Glades Local Preference is calculated only for the purpose of determining ranking and award.

B. Local Preference: Pursuant to the Palm Beach County Local

Preference Ordinance, a 5% Local Preference is given to quoters having a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County. If the lowest responsive, responsible quoter is a non-local business; all quotes received from responsive, responsible local businesses may be decreased by 5%. The original quote amount is not changed.

The 5% decrease given for the Local Preference is calculated only for the purpose of determining ranking and award.

C. To receive a Glades Local Preference or a Local Preference

(collectively referred to as “local preference”), a quoter must have a permanent place of business in existence prior to the County’s issuance of this Request for Quotation. A permanent place of business means that the quoter’s headquarters is located in Palm Beach County or in the Glades, as applicable; or, the quoter has a permanent office or other site in Palm Beach County or in the Glades, as applicable, where the quoter will produce a substantial portion of the goods or services to be purchased. A valid Business Tax Receipt issued by the Palm Beach County Tax Collector is required, unless the quoter is exempt from the business tax receipt requirement by law, and will be used to verify that the quoter had a permanent place of business prior to the issuance of this Request for Quotation. In addition, the attached “Certification of Business Location” and Business Tax Receipt must accompany the quote at the time of quote submission. The Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt and this Certification are the sole determinant of local preference eligibility. Errors in the completion of this Certification or failure to submit this completed Certification will cause the quoter to not receive a local preference.

25. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent authorized by law, Vendor shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the County, its employees and agents against any and all claims, damages, liability and court awards including costs, expenses and attorney fees incurred as a result of any act or omission by the

Further, any price decreases effectuated during the order/contract period by reason of market change or otherwise, shall be passed on to the County. Additionally, anytime after award, the vendor may offer a reduced price which shall remain in effect for the duration of the order/contract.

Vendor shall furnish a 24-hour phone number to the County in the event of such an emergency.

Literature shall provide matching product numbers to those offered on the Bid Response page and sufficient detail to verify compliance to bid specifications. The failure of the descriptive literature to show that the item(s) offered conforms to the requirements of this solicitation shall result in the rejection of the bid. Reference to literature submitted with a previous bid or literature which has been created by any entity other than the manufacturer shall not satisfy this provision. The County reserves the sole right to determine acceptance of offered item (s) as an approved equal.

Note: At the sole discretion of Palm Beach County, samples may be requested, after bid submittal, to complete and/or verify compliance to bid specifications.

41. EQUIPMENT

a. The scope of these specifications is to ensure the delivery of a complete unit ready for operations. The apparent silence of any specification as to any detail, or the apparent omission from it of a detailed description concerning any point, shall be regarded as meaning only that the best commercial practice is to prevail, and that only material and workmanship of the finest quality are to be used. Omission of any essential detail from these specifications does not relieve the supplier from the furnishing of a complete unit.

To receive a local preference, quoters must have a permanent place of business within the County or the Glades, as applicable, prior to the County’s issuance of the solicitation.

The quoter must submit this Certification of Business Location (“Certification”) along with the required Business Tax Receipt at the time of quote submission. The Business Tax Receipt and this Certification are the sole determinant of local preference eligibility.
