SUMMARY OF VENDOR RIGHTS FOR BROWARD COUNTY COMPETITIVE SOLICITATIONS
The purpose of this document is to provide vendors with a summary of their rights to object to or protest a proposed award or recommended ranking of vendors in connection with Broward County competitive solicitations. These rights are fully set forth in the Broward County Procurement Code.
1. Right to Object
For Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), or Requests for Letters of Interest (RLI), vendors may object in writing to a proposed recommendation of ranking made by an Evaluation Committee. Objections must be filed within three business days after the proposed recommendation of ranking (if applicable) is posted on the Purchasing Division's website. The written objection must comply with the requirements stated in Section 21.42(h) of the Broward County Procurement Code. Failure to timely and fully meet any requirement will result in the loss of a right to object.
2. Right to Protest
For Invitations to Bid (ITBs), RFPs, RFQs, and RLIs, vendors may protest the specifications or requirements of a solicitation (or of any addenda). Protests must be received in writing by the Director of Purchasing within five business days after the applicable solicitation (or addenda) is posted on the Purchasing Division's website.
For ITBs, vendors may protest a recommendation for award made by the Broward County Purchasing Division. For RFPs, RFQs, and RLIs, vendors may protest a final recommendation of ranking made by an Evaluation Committee. In all cases, protests must be filed in writing within five business days after a recommended ranking or recommendation for award is posted on the Purchasing Division’s website.
Any protest must comply with requirements stated in Part X of the Broward County Procurement Code, including a filing fee (if applicable). Failure to timely and fully meet any requirement will result in a loss of protest rights.
Vendors may appeal the denial of a protest. Section 21.81 of the Broward County Procurement Code identifies all other matters that may be appealed. Appeals may require payment of an appeal bond. Appeals must comply with requirements stated in Part XII of the Broward County Procurement Code. Failure to timely and fully meet any requirement will result in a loss of appeal rights.
Cone of Silence:
The County’s Cone of Silence Ordinance prohibits all communications, oral or written, relating to a competitive solicitation among vendors/vendor representatives, County Staff, and Commissioner Offices while the cone is in effect.
Communications with Purchasing Division employees, the solicitation’s designated Project Manager(s) or designee(s), the Office of Economic and Small Business (OESBD) Small Business Development Specialist Supervisor (954-357-6400), and others as specifically identified in the Cone of Silence Ordinance are permitted. Additionally, communication is permitted at pre-bid conferences and negotiation meetings, as applicable.
The Cone of Silence begins upon the advertisement of an ITB, RFP, RFQ, or RLI. The Cone of Silence terminates when the solicitation is awarded, all responses are rejected, or the Broward County Board of County Commissioners takes other action which ends the solicitation, as stated in more detail in the Cone of Silence Ordinance.
Any violations of the Code of Silence Ordinance by any vendor or vendor representative may be reported to the County’s Professional Standards/Human Rights Section. If the County’s Professional Standards/Human Rights Section determines that a violation has occurred, a fine shall be imposed as provided in the Broward County Code of Ordinances. At the sole discretion of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, a violation may void an award of the applicable competitive solicitation.
Review the Cone of Silence Ordinance, Section 1-266 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, for more detailed information.

SUBCONTRACTORS/SUBCONSULTANTS/SUPPLIERS REQUIREMENT
The completed and signed form(s) should be returned with the Vendor’s submittal. If not provided with submittal, the Vendor must submit within three business days after County’s request. Vendor may be deemed nonresponsive for failure to fully comply within the stated timeframes.
A. The Vendor must submit a listing of all subcontractors, subconsultants, and major material suppliers
(firms), if any, and the portion of the contract they will perform. A major material supplier is considered any firm that provides construction material for construction contracts, or commodities for service contracts, in excess of $50,000, to the Vendor.
B. If participation goals apply to the contract, only non-certified firms shall be identified on the form. A non- certified firm is a firm that is not listed as a firm for attainment of participation goals (e.g., County Business Enterprise or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise), if applicable to the solicitation.
C. This list shall be kept up-to-date for the duration of the contract. If subcontractors, subconsultants, or suppliers are stated, this does not relieve the Vendor from the prime responsibility of full and complete satisfactory performance under any awarded contract.
D. After completion of the contract/final payment, the Vendor shall certify the final list of non-certified subcontractors, subconsultants, and suppliers that performed or provided services to the County for the referenced contract.
E. The Vendor has confirmed that none of the listed subcontractors, subconsultants, or suppliers’ principal(s), officer(s), affiliate(s), or any other related companies, have been debarred from doing business with Broward County or any other governmental agency.

CRIMINAL HISTORY SCREENING PRACTICES CERTIFICATION
The completed form should be returned with the Vendor’s submittal. If not provided with the submittal, Vendor must submit the form within three business days after County’s request. Vendor may be deemed nonresponsive for failure to fully comply within the stated timeframe.
Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances (“Criminal History Screening Practices”) requires that a Vendor seeking a contract in the amount of $100,000 or more with Broward County shall certify:
A. Vendor has implemented, or will implement upon award of the contract, policies, practices, and procedures regarding inquiry into the criminal history of an applicant for employment, including a criminal history background check of any such person, that preclude inquiry into an applicant's criminal history until the applicant is selected as a finalist and interviewed for the position.
B. This requirement shall apply only to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under a contract with Broward County.
C. The failure of Vendor to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term shall constitute a material breach of the contract, entitling Broward County to pursue any remedy permitted under the contract and any other remedy provided under applicable law.
D. If Vendor fails to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term, Broward County may, in addition to all other available remedies, terminate the contract and Vendor may be subject to debarment or suspension proceedings consistent with the procedures in Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code.

☐ Vendor is exempt from the requirements of Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances because Vendor is required by applicable federal, state, or local law to conduct a criminal history background check in connection with potential employment at a time or in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this section, or because Vendor is a governmental agency.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
A. General Security Requirements:
1. All contractor personnel requiring unescorted access to Broward County facilities must obtain a County-issued contractor identification badge (“contractor ID badge”), unless otherwise specifically stated herein.
The requirements for contractor personnel in this document are also required of subcontractor personnel, unless otherwise expressly stated herein.
2. The background screening requirements for obtaining a contractor ID badge will depend on the facility to which unescorted access is being requested. Contractors may contact Broward County Security at (954) 357-6000 or FMSecurity@broward.org for the required background screening requirements associated with access to specific facilities.
3. Contractor ID badges must be visible and worn at all times together with the contractor’s company/business ID or badge. Requests for contractor ID badges are initially approved by the requesting agency director or designee and then submitted to Facilities Management Division (FMD) Security for final approval.
4. The issuance of a contractor ID badge for unescorted access to General Facilities requires a Level 1 FDLE background check, which can be conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). This Level 1 FDLE background check is the contractor’s responsibility and should be included in the bid price.
FDLE background checks can be done by the contractor by phone at (850) 410-8109 or online at https://web.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/default
5. Upon completion of the background check, the contractor must attach a copy of the results to the contractor’s application for a contractor ID badge. The Project Manager or designee utilizing the service of the contractor will be the “Sponsor” and will either provide the contractor with a Contractor ID Badge Request Form or assist the contractor in completing an online application for the County issued contractor ID badge.
6. Requests for a contractor ID badge requiring an FDLE background check may require lengthy processing and review by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO). Contractors must therefore submit the request to Broward County Security at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of service by the contractor. When contractor ID badges are ready, Broward County Security will contact the contractor to arrange pick up.
Upon pick up, the applicant must present a valid Florida identification and must be accompanied by their supervisor. Broward County Security will then supply a contractor ID badge valid for the anticipated period within which the work will be performed. The validity period must be clearly stated on the Contractor ID Badge Request Form; however, the period of validity will not exceed one (1) year. Background checks will be required for renewal of contractor ID badges. At the termination of the contract and separation of employee services, the contractor is responsible for the collection and return of all contractor ID badges to the Project Manager and/or to Broward County Security.
7. Compliance with the County’s security requirements is part of the overall contract performance evaluation. Final payment will, in part, be contingent on the return of all contractor ID badges issued to contractor personnel.
8. Broward County Security is located at Governmental Center East, 115 South Andrews Avenue, Fort
Lauderdale, FL 33301. Telephone (954) 357-6000.
mailto:FMSecurity@broward.org https://web.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/default
9. All contractor personnel must wear distinctive and neat appearing uniforms with the contractor’s company name. Subcontractor personnel must also have Broward County issued contractor IDs and meet the same security requirements and uniform standards as the primary contractor.
10. Contractor personnel will not be allowed unescorted on the job site without a valid contractor ID badge.
11. These General Security Requirements are in addition to any requirements of specific facilities as stated herein. Additional security requirements may also be included in the applicable solicitation or contract or communicated by the Contract Administrator during the contract period.
B. Facilities Critical to Security and Public Safety:
Many Broward County government facilities have areas designated as critical to security and public safety, pursuant to Broward County Code of Ordinances Sections 26-121 and 26-122, as may be amended. The issuance of a contractor ID badge for unescorted access to facilities critical to security and public safety may entail a comprehensive statewide and national background check. Unescorted access to certain facilities occupied by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) or the State Attorney’s Office will require a national fingerprint-based records check per the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) policy.
Any contractor personnel found to have a criminal record consisting of felony conviction(s) shall be disqualified from access to the State Attorney’s Offices and certain BSO facilities. Any contractor personnel with a record of misdemeanor offense(s) may be granted access if the System Security Officer (CSO), Terminal Access Coordinator (TAC), and FDLE determines that the nature of the offense(s) do not warrant disqualification. Applicants shall also be disqualified on the basis of confirmations that arrest warrants are outstanding for such applicants.
C. Contractor Work Crews:
Background investigations are generally not required for each member of a contractor work crew working on County premises outside a building or structure. Examples are landscape crews and roofers. If it is necessary to enter the building or structure unescorted, these work crew members must obtain a contractor ID badge.
If not, work crew members must be escorted at all times by the project manager or other designated escort, and must be under the direct supervision of a foreperson for the contractor. The foreperson must have a contractor ID badge granting access to the applicable building or structure, be aware of the crew members’ whereabouts, have completed the appropriate background check for the location and type of work being undertaken, and been issued and is displaying a contractor ID badge.
All members of a night cleaning crew, and all work crew members who will not be escorted when working at a critical County facility, must complete a background investigation appropriate to the requirements of the facility.
D. Other Vendors:
Other vendors, such as delivery personnel and vending machine operators, without a contractor ID badge may obtain a visitor pass for limited, escorted access. Such persons must be escorted by County personnel when accessing and working in designated non-public and employee work areas at both general facilities and facilities critical to security and public safety.
E. Port Everglades Locations:
1. The Port Everglades Department requires persons to present, at port entry, a valid driver license, and valid reason for wishing to be granted Port access in order to obtain a temporary/visitor ID badge. For persons who will visit the Port more than 15 times in a 90-day period, a permanent identification badge must be obtained and paid for by the contractor for all employees, subcontractors, and agents visiting or working

Requests for Dockside Parking Permits must be submitted in writing, on company letterhead, to the ID Badge Office. Applicants must demonstrate a need for access to the dock apron. Requests shall be investigated, and approved, if appropriate justification is provided. Supporting documentation must be supplied, if requested. Dock permits are not transferable and must be affixed to the lower left corner of the permitted vehicle's windshield. Should the permit holder wish to transfer the permit to another vehicle during the term of issuance, the permit will be removed and exchanged at no charge for a new permit. Only one business entity representative will be permitted on the dock at a time at the vessel location.
3. The Federal Government has instituted requirements for a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) for all personnel requiring unescorted access to designated secure areas within Port Everglades. The contractor will be responsible for complying with the applicable TWIC requirements. For further information, please call 1-855-347-8371, or go online to https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/twic.
