Checklist_-_Vendor_Checklist_.pdf

This is a Vendor Checklist document issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida for the Vehicle Count Stations Grant Funded project managed by the Transportation Management Services Division. The checklist outlines mandatory submission requirements for all bidders responding to the Invitation to Bid, establishing a standardized process for proposal evaluation. Vendors must acknowledge and accept General Instructions and Collier County Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and must complete multiple required forms including the Vendor Declaration Statement, Conflict of Interest Certification, Immigration Affidavit Certification, and Reference Questionnaire form where applicable. Bidders are required to provide proof of business status from the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations, demonstrate current enrollment in E-Verify with supporting documentation, submit a completed W-9 Form, and provide copies of all requested licenses and certifications necessary to fulfill project requirements. Additionally, vendors must sign and submit all addenda and acknowledge County IT Technical Architecture Requirements and any supplemental requirements as applicable.

The checklist mandates that vendors confirm their ability to provide required insurance certificates within five days of receiving a Notice of Recommend Award and that all executed documents be submitted electronically through OpenGov with either wet signatures or verifiable electronic signatures. Failure to provide applicable documents may result in a bidder being deemed non-responsive or non-responsible and subject to elimination from consideration. The checklist does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract duration, as this is a procedural compliance document rather than a solicitation with substantive project details. Grant funding is referenced as the funding source for this vehicle count stations project, though specific amounts and additional funding details are not outlined in this particular document.
