About this file
This is a Local Vendor Preference Certification form issued by Collier County, Florida's Procurement Services Division in connection with RFP 26-8634 for Planning and Regulation Staffing services. The RFP solicits qualified staffing firms to provide augmented personnel for the County's Growth Management Community Development Department to support building code permitting, plan review and inspection services, planning and zoning permitting and review, land development and environmental services, and related functions. Proposers must submit hourly rates for five position titles: Building Official, Architect, Plans Examiner, Code Inspector, and Permit Technician. The RFP was posted on February 10, 2026, with proposals due March 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System. The County will award a three-year initial contract term with two optional one-year renewal periods.
The certification form allows local vendors to claim preference status if they maintain a physical business address in Collier County zoned for business operations, possess a current Local Business Tax Receipt from the Collier County Tax Collector, and contribute measurably to the County's economic development through employment retention and expansion, tax base support, and employee residency. Vendors misrepresenting local preference status may lose eligibility for up to one year. The evaluation criteria allocate 10 points for local vendor preference, 30 points for experience and capacity, 30 points for cost, 20 points for technical proposal, 5 points for certified minority/woman business enterprise status, and 5 points for cover letter and management summary. The historical countywide expenditure for planning and regulation staffing is approximately $1,000,000 annually, though no minimum expenditure is guaranteed. Proposers must be E-Verify enrolled, maintain appropriate business licenses and professional certifications, carry comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 commercial general liability and professional liability, and submit performance bonds of 100 percent for contracts exceeding $200,000.

Vendor affirms that it is a local business as defined by Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance:
• A physical business address in Collier County with a County business address as listed with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A post office box or a facility that receives mail, or a non-permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non-permanent structure shall not be used to establish the physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year; and
• A current local Business Tax Receipt (also known as an Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid or proposal submission.
