About this file
This is a procurement preferences form from the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development that establishes bidding advantages for certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs). The form is related to an open-end contract for new replacement motor and electro-hydraulic actuators, including parts and accessories, specifically Rotork and Limotorque equipment, to be delivered to job sites for Broward County's Water & Wastewater Services and other county agencies. The contract requires electronic submission through the BPRO system and includes living wage requirements.
For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, certified SBE or CBE vendors receive a procurement preference allowing them to match the lowest responsive bid if their bid falls within 10% of the lowest non-certified vendor's bid. For Request for Proposals, SBE or CBE proposers can be considered the highest-ranked if their score falls within 5% of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer. Vendors must be certified at the time of solicitation opening and indicate their certification status on the form, though certification will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. The Office of Economic and Small Business Development requirements are noted as not applicable to this particular solicitation.
