About this file

This is a Truth-in-Negotiations Certificate for the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, required for a professional services agreement related to Marine Resource Assessment & Monitoring Services under the Town's Coastal Management Plan activities. The certificate applies to a corporation providing professional engineering and continuing consulting services. The firm must furnish detailed cost analysis for each proposed work order and ensure that wage rates and factual unit costs are accurate, complete, and current at the time the agreement is executed and when each work order is issued. The Town intends to award the contract based on best value to the municipality, with submission of qualifications required through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) platform. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled to be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged as the sole opportunity to seek clarification from Town staff.

The certificate establishes pricing accountability mechanisms, requiring the consulting firm to agree that the original agreement price and any additions shall be adjusted to exclude any significant sums by which the Town determines pricing was increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or noncurrent wage rates and factual unit costs. All agreement price adjustments must be made within one year following the end of the agreement, with the agreement end date defined as either the final billing date or work acceptance date by the Town, whichever is later. The affiant must certify under oath before a notary public that all cost data provided is truthful and complete. Proposers are prohibited from withdrawing proposals for one hundred eighty days from the opening date, and the Town reserves the right to reject any and all proposals or waive non-material irregularities.
