Agenda 08-08-2017 Item #16F108/08/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to terminate for convenience the award for ITB 16 -7019 for "Printing of
Tourism Guides" awarded to Graphic Reproductions, Inc. of Titusville FL d/b/a Graphic
Press
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To obtain the Board’s approval to terminate the award of ITB 16-7019 with
Graphic Reproductions, Inc. of Titusville, FL d/b/a Graphic Press (“Graphic Press”).
CONSIDERATION: On January 10, 2017, the Board awarded ITB 16-7019 to Graphic Press
for the printing of Tourism Visitor Guides. (Agenda item 16F3).
The Tourism Division worked indirectly with Graphic Press for this printing project, and
eventually worked with a sub-contractor in Jacksonville FL for the actual printing of the
Visitor Guides. Staff has concluded that it is not in the best interest of the County to
continue its relationship with Graphic Press because of a lack of responsiveness, and
therefore is recommending the termination of the award of ITB 16-7019 for convenience (as
outlined in Paragraph 18 of the Collier County Purchase Order Terms and Conditions). The
Terms and Conditions provide that the County may terminate the Purchase Order at any
time upon thirty (30) days day prior written notice to the vendor.
To affect a smooth transition for the Tourism Division staff to re-solicit these printing
services, staff will not be seeking any further services under the Purchase Order and requests
that the termination be effective as of the close of business on August 31, 2017.
Approval of the following documents by the County Manager is subject to formal ratification
by the Board of County Commissioners. If the decision by the County Manager is not ratified
by that Board, the document(s) shall be enforceable against Collier County only to the extent
authorized by law in the absence of such ratification by that Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no immediate impact from this action as Graphic
Reproductions, Inc. has completed and delivered the printing job and has been paid in full
for their work on this project.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval. -SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this item.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to terminate for convenience the award of ITB
16-7019 for "Printing of Tourism Guides" awarded to Graphic Reproductions, Inc. of
Titusville FL d/b/a Graphic Press.

1. Offer
This offer is subject to cancellation by the COUNTY without notice if not accepted by VENDOR within fourteen (14)
days of issuance.
2. Acceptance and Confirmation
This Purchase Order (including all documents attached to or referenced herein) constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties, unless otherwise specifically noted by the COUNTY on the face of this Purchase
Order. Each delivery of goods and/or services received by the COUNTY from VENDOR shall be deemed to be
upon the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Order.
No additional terms may be added and Purchase Order may not be changed except by written instrument executed
by the COUNTY. VENDOR is deemed to be on notice that the COUNTY objects to any additional or different terms
and conditions contained in any acknowledgment, invoice or other communication from VENDOR, notwithstanding
the COUNTY’S acceptance or payment for any delivery of goods and/or services, or any similar act by VENDOR.
3. Inspection
All goods and/or services delivered hereunder shall be received subject to the COUNTY’S inspection and approval
and payment therefore shall not constitute acceptance. All payments are subject to adjustment for shortage or
rejection. All defective or nonconforming goods will be returned pursuant to VENDOR'S instruction at VENDOR’S
expense.
To the extent that a purchase order requires a series of performances by VENDOR, the COUNTY prospectively
reserves the right to cancel the entire remainder of the Purchase Order if goods and/or services provided early in
the term of the Purchase Order are non-conforming or otherwise rejected by the COUNTY.
4. Shipping and Invoices
a) All goods are FOB destination and must be suitably packed and prepared to secure the lowest transportation
rates and to comply with all carrier regulations. Risk of loss of any goods sold hereunder shall transfer to the
COUNTY at the time and place of delivery; provided that risk of loss prior to actual receipt of the goods by the
COUNTY nonetheless remain with VENDOR.
b) No charges will be paid by the COUNTY for packing, crating or cartage unless otherwise specifically stated in
this Purchase Order. Unless otherwise provided in Purchase Order, no invoices shall be issued nor payments
made prior to delivery. Unless freight and other charges are itemized, any discount will be taken on the full
amount of invoice.
c) All shipments of goods scheduled on the same day via the same route must be consolidated. Each shipping
container must be consecutively numbered and marked to show this Purchase Order number. The container
and Purchase Order numbers must be indicated on bill of lading. Packing slips must show Purchase Order
number and must be included on each package of less than container load (LCL) shipments and/or with each
car load of equipment. The COUNTY reserves the right to refuse or return any shipment or equipment at
VENDOR’S expense that is not marked with Purchase Order numbers. VENDOR agrees to declare to the
carrier the value of any shipment made under this Purchase Order and the full invoice value of such shipment.
d) All invoices must contain the Purchase Order number and any other specific information as identified on the
Purchase Order. Discounts of prompt payment will be computed from the date of receipt of goods or from date
of receipt of invoices, whichever is later. Payment will be made upon receipt of a proper invoice and in
compliance with Chapter 218, Fla. Stats., otherwise known as the “Local Government Prompt Payment Act,”
and, pursuant to the Board of County Commissioners Purchasing Policy.
5. Time Is Of the Essence
Time for delivery of goods or performance of services under this Purchase Order is of the essence. Failure of
VENDOR to meet delivery schedules or deliver within a reasonable time, as interpreted by the COUNTY alone,
shall entitle the COUNTY to seek all remedies available to it at law or in equity. VENDOR agrees to reimburse the
COUNTY for any expenses incurred in enforcing its rights. VENDOR further agrees that undiscovered delivery of
nonconforming goods and/or services is not a waiver of the COUNTY’S right to insist upon further compliance with
all specifications.

11. Rejection and Waiver
The County reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive defects in the form of bid, also to

responsive. 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 Procurement 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 docum entation as set f orth in the solicitation in support of their

status as a local business. Any bidder who fails to subm it 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 f unding source, mandates to the
contrar y, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local
businesses in the f ollowing manner.
Competitive bid (local price match option). Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall
clearly identif y how the price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined.
W hen a qualif ied 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 subm itted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid
offer (i.e., the lowest local bidder) s hall 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 f irst verif y if the lowest non-local bidder and the lowest local bidder
are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Procurement Services Division shall
determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirem ents of Fla. Stat. Sec.287.087
(Preferences to businesses with drug-free workplace programs). If the lowest local bidder meets
the requirem ents of Fla. Stat. Sec. 287.087, the Procurement Services Division 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 f ully matches the lowest bid, less
one (1) dollar, from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be m ade
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.

Solicitation: 16-7019 - Printing of Visitor Guides (Check Appropriate Boxes Below)
State of Florida (Select County if Vendor is described as a Local Business
Collier County
Lee County
Vendor affirms that it is a local business as defined by the Procurement Ordinance of the Collier County Board
of County Commissioners and the Regulations Thereto. As defined in Section XI of the Collier County
Procurement 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
section.
Vendor must complete the following information:
Year Business Established in Collier County or Lee County: ________

Number of Employees Living in Collier County or Lee (Including Owner(s) or Corporate Officers):_______

This Affidavit is required and should be signed, notarized by an authorized principal of the firm and submitted with formal
Invitations to Bid (ITB’s) and Request for Proposals (RFP) submittals. Further, 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. Failure to
include this Affidavit and acceptable evidence of enrollment in the E-Verify program, may deem the Vendor /
Bidder’s proposal as non-responsive.
Collier County will not intentionally award County contracts to any vendor who knowingly employs unauthorized alien
workers, constituting a violation of the employment provision contained in 8 U.S.C. Section 1324 a(e) Section 274A(e) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”).
Collier County may consider the employment by any vendor of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section 274A (e) of the
INA. Such Violation by the recipient of the Employment Provisions contained in Section 274A (e) of the INA shall be
grounds for unilateral termination of the contract by Collier County.
Vendor attests that they are fully compliant with all applicable immigration laws (specifically to the 1986 Immigration Act
and subsequent Amendment(s)) and agrees to comply with the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding with E-
Verify and to provide proof of enrollment in The Employment Eligibility Verification System (E-Verify), operated by the
