This is a fully electronic solicitation; only bids submitted through the County's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/ocgov will be accepted.
A 5% preference deduction applies to certified Orange County Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) bidders; an 8% preference applies to businesses certified as both OCLSB and DVBE, provided the maximum allowable preference deduction does not exceed $100,000. DVBE preference is not applicable to public works or architecture-engineering construction projects. The specific scope of work is referenced in Section 4 of the IFB document; the source does not detail the goods or services being procured.
Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on pricing and ability to meet all contract requirements and specifications. Bids submitted will remain valid for 365 days following the closing date, and the County may defer award for up to 180 days, during which time bidders must guarantee their quoted prices. Pricing must be firm and fixed with no cost escalations without County approval; all price decreases automatically extend to the County.
Prior to contract award, bidders must obtain a valid D-U-N-S number and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number and must submit certificates of insurance, W-9 forms (or 587/590 forms for out-of-state suppliers), and execute a model contract within seven days of award notification. Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds are required. The County reserves the right to make multiple awards, reject any or all bids, or withdraw the solicitation. All questions must be submitted through the solicitation's Question & Answer section; direct contact with County personnel is prohibited.
