Agenda 09/26/2017 Item #16E1809/26/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the County Manager, in accordance with the County's
Procurement Ordinance 2017-08, Section 11.4, Cooperative Purchasing, to use the allowable
Federal GSA schedules (ex: Schedule 70 and 1122 Program), the State of Florida Contracts,
Agreements and Price Lists, competitively solicited contracts by US Communities, Western
States Contracting Alliance, National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (NIPA),
NASPO Value Point, Procure Source, HGAC Buy, National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance,
The Cooperative Purchasing Network and National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) Public
Purchasing Consortium, competitive solicitations from State of Florida cities, counties, school
districts and other public municipalities (i.e., Sheriff’s Association; Transit Consortium Bus
Procurement Contract; Library Purchasing Cooperative Consortium) for the efficient purchase
of goods and services for the delivery of public services and for which funds were
approved in operating budgets; and authorize the County Manager or their designee to sign user
agreements or contracts associated with these purchases.
OBJECTIVE: To utilize pre-established competitive contracts for the purchase of goods and services
where funding has been established.
CONSIDERATIONS: Section 11 of the County’s Procurement Ordinance 2017-08, in an effort to
secure the effective and efficient procurement of goods and services, allows the Procurement Services
Division to recommend the use of contracts, agreements and price lists that have been competitively
solicited through a purchasing consortium or another public agency.
The Federal Government allows state and local governments to make purchases using the GSA
Schedule 70 for Information Technology needs, and schedule 84 for law enforcement, security and
related items, and other various contracts deemed acceptable for disaster preparation and response. The
Federal GSA contracts offer public agencies products and services for the lowest guaranteed prices at
the terms and conditions established by the federal government.
The State of Florida, Department of Management Services, Division of State Purchasing administers
statewide contracts and agreements for use by Florida State agencies, local governments, educational
institutions, and other entities as defined in 60A-1.005, Florida Administrative Code. Statewide
contracts and agreements enable eligible users to pool their buying power to lower total costs and
reduce administrative burden while complying with Chapter 287 Florida Statutes governing the
purchase of products and services. These include State Term Contracts (STC), Alternate Contract
Sources (ACS), State Purchasing Agreements (SPA), RESPECT agreements, PRIDE agreements and
Insurance Coverage Program agreements.
Florida Statute Section 163.01, known as the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969, permits local
governmental units to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling them to cooperate with
other public agencies. A Florida public agency may exercise jointly with any other public agency of the
State, of any other state, or of the United States Government any power, privilege, or authority that such
agencies share in common and might exercise separately.
Purchasing cooperatives such as: US Communities, Western States Contracting Alliance, National
Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (NIPA), and National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), NASPO
Value Point, Procure Source, HGAC Buy, National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance The Cooperative
Purchasing Network and others, have a number of advantages, including, but not limited to:
16.E.18
Packet Pg. 2384
09/26/2017
• Aggregated buying power of public agencies
• Solicitations are competitive in the market with pricing offered being the lowest for the
commodity or service
• More favorable terms to the County for freight, shipping, service and warranties, etc
• Streamlined processes for both Purchasing and operating staff
• A more expedited process, verses issuing an independent solicitation.
Attached is a sample of some heavily utilized purchasing cooperative sites for reference only and is not to
be deemed all inclusive.
The solicitation process for these contracts generally entails:
• A government agency serves as the Lead Public Agency. The Lead Public Agency prepares
and issues a competitive solicitation on behalf of other public agencies.
• The solicitation is advertised nationally.
• The solicitation includes language allowing all states, local governments, school districts, a nd
higher education institutions, other government agencies and nonprofit organizations to use or
"piggyback" on the contract.
• The Lead Public Agency evaluates the submitted proposals and makes recommendations for
award;
• The Lead Public Agency monitors and evaluates supplier performance with feedback from the
states, local governments, school districts, and higher education institutions, other government
agencies and nonprofit organizations.
While there are broad contracts in place, there is a clause whereby the vendor is obligated to follow
the agencies’ standard purchase order terms and conditions-that is, the vendor would be required to
follow Collier County’s purchase order terms and conditions.
These agreements leverage the purchasing power of the Federal government and the State of Florida,
including its sub-agencies, municipalities, and counties to provide best value pricing. A list of the types
of purchases that can be made is attached.
Procurement Services Division staff recommend the use of these agreements when it is in the best
interests of the County with no further action by the Board as long as operating departments have
budgeted for the goods and services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Operating departments have accounted for expenses in their fiscal year 2018
budgets for the procurement of goods and services for delivering public services using these
agreements.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office. The
current Procurement Ordinance provides that in authorizing purchases under these types of agreements,
the Procurement Services Director must determine that the terms and conditions of the purchase are
budgeted and the use of a cooperative purchase agreement is in the best interests of the County. The
Procurement Director shall review these Government Contracts seeking the most favorable terms for
each intended purchase. With that understanding, this item is approved as to form and legality, and
requires majority support for approval.-SRT
