About this file

This document is a procurement preferences form from the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) relating to Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and County Business Enterprise (CBE) certification for a contract opportunity for Underwater Diving Services at Port Everglades. The open-end contract seeks a Dive Team to provide labor, materials, equipment, services, and incidentals for underwater diving services with or without a boat, serving Port Everglades Department and potentially other Broward County agencies. Vendors are required to submit responses electronically through BPRO, with a specified period for asking questions and seeking clarification about solicitation requirements.

The document outlines specific procurement preferences for certified SBE and CBE vendors. For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, if a certified CBE or SBE submits a responsive, responsible bid within 10% of the lowest non-certified bid, they will be offered the opportunity to match the lowest bid. For Request for Proposals, if a certified SBE or CBE receives a score within 5% of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer, they can proceed to contract negotiations. Vendors must be certified in the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory at the time of solicitation opening, and certification can be verified through the office, which can be contacted at 954-357-6400 for additional information.

In accordance with Section 1-81.10, of the Broward County Business Opportunity Act, Section 1-81 et seq. of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, (the “Act”), non-reserved solicitations (for certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) or County Business Enterprises (CBEs)), and solicitations without any assigned CBE goals, a responding Broward County certified SBE or CBE may be eligible for a procurement preference, in accordance with below:

For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests:

If a responsive, responsible bid is received from a certified CBE or SBE that is within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid received from a non-certified (SBE or CBE) Vendor, the SBE or CBE (as applicable) shall be offered the opportunity to match the lowest responsive, responsible bid. If the SBE or CBE Vendor (as applicable) is responsive and responsible, and matches the lowest responsive, responsible bid, the CBE or SBE Vendor shall be recommended for award.

For Request for Proposals:

If upon the completion of final rankings by the Evaluation Committee, a non-certified proposer is the highest-ranked proposer, and a responsive, responsible SBE or CBE proposer receives a score that is within five percent (5%) of the score obtained by the non-certified proposer, the highest-ranked responsive, responsible SBE or CBE proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and shall have the opportunity to proceed to negotiations with the County for award of the contract.

If the Vendor does not indicate it is an SBE or CBE, preference may not be applied based on information received but certification will be verified in the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory.
