About this file
This is a Procurement Preferences document from the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, establishing eligibility criteria for small business enterprise (SBE) and county business enterprise (CBE) procurement preferences in non-reserved solicitations. The document applies to the Altec Aerial Device and Crane Parts and Repair Services contract opportunity, which requires vendors to provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, diagnostics, inspection, testing, repair, structural evaluation, and preventative maintenance services for county-owned Altec aerial devices, cranes, and lifts serving the Fleet Services Division and various other Broward County agencies. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time and must comply with state licensing requirements, certification requirements, living wage ordinance requirements, and must hold OEM/OE dealer or manufacturer's designation or authorization for Altec aerial devices, lifts, and cranes. The County strongly encourages vendors to submit all available documentation, including optional items, to facilitate timely and comprehensive review.
The procurement preferences framework establishes different evaluation thresholds based on solicitation type: for invitations to bid and quotation requests, certified CBE or SBE vendors within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive and responsible bid may match that bid for award consideration; for requests for proposals, the highest-ranked responsive and responsible CBE or SBE proposer scoring within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification status must be current at the time of solicitation opening, and vendors should indicate their SBE or CBE certification status on the form, though certification will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory regardless of vendor indication. Inquiries regarding SBE and CBE certification should be directed to the Office of Economic and Small Business Development at 954-357-6400.
