Packet Page -764-
7/24/2012 Item 11.D.
Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be
applied to each vendor's information provided in this area:
• The County shall total each of the vendor's five reference questionnaires and create a
ranking from highest number of points to lowest number of points. References marked
with an N/A (or similar notation will be given the score of zero (0)). Vendors who do not
turn in reference forms will be counted as zero (0).
• The greatest number of points allowed in this criterion will be awarded to the vendor who
has the highest score.
• The next highest vendor's number of points will be divided by the highest vendor's points
which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine the vendor's points awarded.
Each subsequent vendor's point score will be calculated in the same manner.
• Points awarded will be extended to the first decimal point (per Microsoft Excel).
For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be
distributed among the five proposers.

evaluation of the proposals. The Selection Committee will review the vendor's proposal to
ensure consistency and completion of all tasks in the RFP, and review the Points Awarded per

attached to or referenced therein) 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.
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 5.
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.
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 6.
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.

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)

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.
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 in its sole judgment,
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.
Changes
The COUNTY may at any time and by written
notice make changes to drawings and
specifications, shipping instructions, quantities and

22. Collier County Local Preference Policy
Collier County provides an incentive to local business to enhance the opportunities of local
businesses in the award of County contracts. In the evaluation of proposals, the County rewards
Vendors for being a local business by granting a ten (10) points incentive in the evaluation criterion
points.
A "local business" is defined as a business that has a valid occupational license issued by either
Collier or Lee County for a minimum of one (1) year prior to a Collier County bid or proposal
submission that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or services to be purchased,
and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee Counties from which the
vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and 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 either Collier or Lee County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not
be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase
to either Collier or Lee County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the
business within Collier or Lee 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.
The vendor must complete and submit with their proposal response the Affidavit for Claiming
Status as a Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. Failure on the part of a
vendor to submit this Affidavit with their proposal response will preclude said Vendor from
being considered for local preference under this solicitation.
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.
