.
12. Local Vendor Preference (LVP) y
The County is using the Competitive Sealed Quotation methodology of source selection for this is—
procurement, as authorized by Ordinance Number 2013-69 establishing and adopting the Collier
County Purchasing Ordinance.
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 w
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 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 '61
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 a
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 N
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
#14-6310 10
Burial&Cremation Services
Packet Pg. 1244
16.E2.a
a)
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
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 .o
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 Co
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 d
the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Fla. Stat. Sec.287.087 (Preferences to 0
businesses with drug-free workplace programs). If the lowest local bidder meets the a.
a.
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 o
thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid, less o
one(1) dollar, from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made
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 E
lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Fla. Stat. Sec 287.087, and the lowest E
non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the 8
reference state law.
Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a r
Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. N,
Failure on the part of a Bidder to submit this Affidavit with their bid response will preclude
said Bidder from being considered for local preference on this solicitation. c)
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.
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 w
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 o
Homeland Security(DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), provides Q
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 Q
professional services and construction services.

Additionally, vendors shall require all subcontracted vendors to use the E-Verify system for all
purchases not covered under the"Exceptions to the program" clause above. a
