VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION FORM - RQS

In order to foster economic development and business opportunities, promote the growth and development of local businesses, and rectify the economic disadvantages of service-disabled veterans and wartime veterans who have made extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of the nation, the City of Orlando has adopted a Veteran Business Enterprise (“VBE”) Preference. For further information regarding this program, please refer to Chapter 7 of the Code of the City of Orlando.

In order for a respondent to receive credit either itself or for listing a VBE subcontractor, the respondent and/or subcontractor for which credit is sought must perform useful business functions on the contract, have its principal place of business in the Metropolitan Statistical Area (“Orlando MSA”) (i.e. Orange, Lake, Seminole or Osceola Counties) and be a certified veteran business enterprise by the State of Florida Department of Management Services (“DMS”) as set forth in Section 295.187 of the Florida Statutes as of the date set for submittal of bids. For purposes of the City’s VBE Program, respondent’s “Principal Place of Business” has been defined by Chapter 7 of the City Code to mean the location identified by a respondent as its principal place of business with respect to a solicitation, which location may be either (i) the main business office of the respondent where the chief executive officer, or equivalent person, maintains his or her primary office, or (ii) the office where the majority of the work related to the City solicitation will be performed.

In accordance with City Code, a respondent or subcontractor that is both a qualifying VBE and a City certified or recognized Minority Business Enterprise (“MBE”) or Woman Owned Business Enterprise (“WBE”) may not receive scoring consideration for more than one status. Accordingly, a respondent should list itself or an eligible subcontractor as either an MBE/WBE or as a VBE, but not both. In the event that a respondent mistakenly lists itself or a qualifying VBE subcontractor who is also a City certified or recognized MBE or WBE firm for consideration for scoring as both a VBE and as a MBE or WBE subcontractor in its proposal, the respondent shall receive scoring consideration for whichever status results in a higher score for the respondent’s proposal.

There shall be no third party beneficiaries of the Veteran Business Enterprise Preference provisions of this solicitation or resulting contract. The City of Orlando shall have the exclusive means of enforcement of the Veteran Business Enterprise Preference Ordinance and any contract terms. No right of action for non-signatories of the contract is intended or implied. The City of Orlando is the sole judge of compliance. All solicitations and submittals awarded will be evaluated in accordance with Chapter 7 of the Code of the City of Orlando.

Respondents awarded a contract shall submit periodic reports of participation by VBE firms in such form and manner and at such time as the City or the City’s Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Director may prescribe. At a minimum, the successful Proposer shall submit to the City within thirty (30) days of completion of all work performed under the contract a final report detailing the portion of the work performed by VBE firms and the percentage of work subcontracted to each. The City shall have the right to review and audit records, receipts, and documents upon reasonable notice.
