Bids that do not meet all necessary requirements of this solicitation or fail to provide all required information, documents or materials may be rejected as non-responsive. 12. Local Vendor Preference (LVP) The County is using the Competitive Sealed Quotation methodology of source selection for this 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 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 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 #14-6310 10 Burial&Cremation Services C 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 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 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 lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Fla. Stat. Sec 287.087, and the lowest non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law. Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. 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. 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 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. Exceptions to the program: #14-6310 11 Burial&Cremation Services • Commodity based procurement where no services are provided. • Where the requirement for the affidavit is waived by the Board of County Commissioners Vendors/ Bidders are required to enroll in the E-Verify program, and provide acceptable evidence of their enrollment, at the time of the submission of the vendor's/bidder's proposal. Acceptable evidence consists of a copy of the properly completed E-Verify Company Profile page or a copy of the fully executed E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding for the company. Vendors are also 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 the Bidder/Vendor does not comply with providing both the acceptable E-Verify evidence and the executed affidavit the bidder's/vendor's proposal may be deemed non-responsive. 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. For additional information regarding the Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify) program visit the following website: http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify. It shall be the vendor's responsibility to familiarize themselves with all rules and regulations governing this program. Vendor acknowledges, and without exception or stipulation, any firm(s) receiving an award shall be fully responsible for complying with the provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 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 of the award agreement and the County shall have the discretion to unilaterally terminate said agreement immediately. 14. Lobbying All firms are hereby placed on NOTICE that the County Commission does not wish to be lobbied either individually or collectively about a project for which a firm has submitted a bid. Firms and their agents are not to contact members of the County Commission for such purposes as meetings of introduction, luncheons, dinners, etc. During the bidding process, from bid opening to final Board approval, no firm or its agent shall contact any other employee of Collier County with the exception of the Purchasing Department. 15. Certificate of Authority to Conduct Business in the State of Florida (Florida Statute 607.1501) In order to be considered for award, firms must be registered with the Florida Department of State Divisions of Corporations in accordance with the requirements of Florida Statute 607.1501 and provide a certificate of authority (www.sunbiz.orq/search.html) prior to execution of a contract. A copy of the document may be submitted with the solicitation response and the document number shall be identified.
