12. Local Vendor Preference (LVP) C%1,
The County is using the Competitive Sealed Quotation methodology of source selection for this
co
procurement, as authorized by Ordinance Number 2013-69 establishing and adopting the Collier
County Purchasing Ordinance.
m
1
Local business means the vendor has a current Business Tax Receipt issued by the Collier
County Tax Collector for at least one year prior to bid or proposal submission to do business
within Collier County, and that identifies the business with a permanent physical business address
located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs 19,
business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A Post Office Box or a facility that B
receives mail, or a non-permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other
non-permanent structure shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said 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.
Under this solicitation, bidders desiring to receive local preference will be invited and required to
affirmatively state and provide documentation as set forth in the solicitation in support of their
status as a local business. Any bidder who fails to submit sufficient documentation with their bid
offer shall not be granted local preference consideration for the purposes of that specific
16-6595 Mitigation Credits
Packet Pg.687
16 A 18ia,.,'
contract award. Except where federal or state law, or any other funding source, mandates to the
contrary, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local
businesses in the following manner.
Competitive bid (local price match option). Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall
clearly identify how the price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined.
When a qualified and responsive, non-local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid
submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten percent of the
price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid
offer(i.e., the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit an offer to match the
price(s), less one(1)dollar, offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In
such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-local bidder and the lowest local bidder
are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if
the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Fla. Stat. Sec.287.087 (Preferences to
businesses with drug-free workplace programs). If the lowest local bidder meets the
requirements of Fla. Stat. Sec. 287.087, the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest
local bidder to submit a matching offer, less one(1)dollar, within five (5) business days
thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid, less
one(1) dollar, from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made 0
to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non-local
bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the c
lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Fla. Stat. Sec 287.087, and the lowest a
non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the
reference state law. 2
ti
Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a o
Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. `='^
U)
rn
Failure on the part of a Bidder to submit this Affidavit with their bid response will preclude w
said Bidder from being considered for local preference on this solicitation.
A Bidder who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a bid submitted to the
County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one(1)year. c
The County may, as it deems necessary, conduct discussions with responsible bidders
determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to
assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to solicitation requirements.
13. Immigration Affidavit Certification
Statutes and executive orders require employers to abide by the immigration laws of the United
States and to employ only individuals who are eligible to work in the United States.
The Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify) operated by the Department of
Homeland Security(DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), provides
an Internet-based means of verifying employment eligibility of workers in the United States; it is
not a substitute for any other employment eligibility verification requirements. The program will be
used for Collier County formal Invitations to Bid (ITB)and Request for Proposals (RFP) including
professional services and construction services.

required to provide the Collier County Purchasing Department an executed affidavit certifying they
shall comply with the E-Verify Program. The affidavit is attached to the solicitation documents. If

purchases not covered under the "Exceptions to the program" clause above.
For additional information regarding the Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify)
program visit the following website: http://www.dhs.govlE-Verify. It shall be the vendor's
responsibility to familiarize themselves with all rules and regulations governing this program.

be fully responsible for complying with the provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of c
1986 as located at 8 U.S.C. 1324, et seq. and regulations relating thereto, as either may be
amended and with the provisions contained within this affidavit. Failure by the awarded firm(s)to
comply with the laws referenced herein or the provisions of this affidavit shall constitute a breach 2
of the award agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate said
agreement immediately.
14. Lobbying

either individually or collectively about a project for which a firm has submitted a bid. Firms and

industry practices for contracts or purchase orders:
Lump Sum (Fixed Price): a firm fixed total price offering for a project; the risks are transferred
from the County to the contractor; and, as a business practice there are no hourly or material
invoices presented, rather, the contractor must perform to the satisfaction of the County's
project manager before payment for the fixed price contract is authorized.
Time and Materials: the County agrees to pay the contractor for the amount of labor time
spent by the contractor's employees and subcontractors to perform the work(number of hours
47,
times hourly rate), and for materials and equipment used in the project(cost of materials plus
the contractor's mark up). This methodology is generally used in projects in which it is not r--
possible to accurately estimate the size of the project, or when it is expected that the project
requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice, these contracts N�
include back-up documentation of costs; invoices would include number of hours worked and o
billing rate by position (and not company(or subcontractor)timekeeping or payroll records),
material or equipment invoices, and other reimbursable documentation for the project.
Unit Price: the County agrees to pay a firm total fixed price(inclusive of all costs, including
labor, materials, equipment, overhead, etc.)for a repetitive product or service delivered (i.e.
installation price per ton, delivery price per package or carton, etc.). The invoice must identify
the unit price and the number of units received (no contractor inventory or cost verification
required).
Payments are made in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Chapter 218,
Florida Statutes. Vendor's invoices must include:
• Purchase Order Number
• Description and quantities of the goods or services provided per instructions on the County's
purchase order or contract.

processed for payment) unless specifically authorized by the Project Manager. c

receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six(6) months after 2

deemed of the essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement.
u�
In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to taxes or o
other fees)to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy
these debts, the County reserves the right to off-set the amount owed to the County by applying 4t
the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in
association with a contract.
Invoices shall not reflect sales tax. After review and approval, the invoice will be transmitted to the
Finance Division for payment. Payment will be made upon receipt of proper invoice and in
compliance with Chapter 218 Florida Statutes, otherwise known as the "Local Government Prompt a
Payment Act." Collier County reserves the right to withhold and/or reduce an appropriate amount

the scope of work, the Vendor shall furnish to the County renewal or replacement Certificate(s) of
Insurance not later than ten (10) calendar days after the expiration date on the certificate. Failure
