About this file
This is a procurement preferences form issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, applicable to the Fabricate and Refurbish Water and Wastewater Control Panels contract. The contract is an open-end solicitation for the Public Works and Environmental Services Department and other Broward County agencies requiring fabrication and refurbishing services for water and wastewater control panels. The scope encompasses furnishing all tools, equipment, materials, supplies, labor, transportation, fuel, power, water, and communications necessary to fabricate, refurbish, remove, and install control panels. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time to receive consideration. The County requires submission of all relevant documentation, with particular emphasis on completing the OESBD preferences form at the time of submittal for comprehensive evaluation.
The procurement preferences outlined provide economic incentives for certified small business enterprises (SBEs) and county business enterprises (CBEs). For invitations to bid, a certified SBE or CBE submitting a responsive and responsible bid within ten percent of the lowest non-certified bid may match that lowest bid and receive award recommendation. For requests for proposals, a certified SBE or CBE scoring within five percent of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification must be current at the time of solicitation opening, verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Certification is not automatic through form submission and requires separate application or existing certification status.
