The form applies to the Port Everglades 2025 Air Emissions Inventory and Reduction Planning contract, a federal grant-funded project requiring the development of an activity-based air emissions inventory for Port Everglades facilities and operations using current methodologies while maintaining comparability with the 2015 baseline inventory data. The scope also includes facilitation of Technical and Stakeholder Working Groups, public and stakeholder outreach, and workforce strengthening in accordance with an EPA-approved Work Plan. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time, with all documents and information relevant to evaluation encouraged for submission.
For invitations to bid and quotation requests, certified CBE or SBE vendors submitting bids within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid from non-certified vendors shall be offered the opportunity to match the lowest bid and, if matched, shall be recommended for award. For Request for Proposals, certified SBE or CBE proposers scoring within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer with opportunity to proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification must be current at the time of solicitation opening, and certification will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. The Office of Economic and Small Business Development can be contacted at 954-357-6400 for questions regarding SBE and CBE certifications.
