Please explain in delailthe reason vou are reauestina to soeak (attach additional
Dace if necessary):
I submitted a bid online for Collier County that I was low bidder on and not
awarded because of a Local Vendor Preference Form that was not asked for
on the online submittal. I would have gladly filled in or attached the Local
Vendor Preference Form if there had been a place to attach it. I also believe
that it should have been automatically entered that way since J.D. Stevens,
Inc is registered with the County as a local vendor, since 2003. (With both
Occupational & Contractor Licensing)
Please exPlain in detail the action vou are askino the Commission to take (attach
additional Daae if necessary):
I think that since I was low bidder and local, I deserve the job, instead it has
become a negotiated contract.

Subject: FW: Sludge removal
Jim.
I recently submitted a bid online for a Lime Sludge Hauling contract. I am low bidder and a local vendor but because of A Locai
Vendor Preference Form (not asked for on my online submittal) I have been told the job will go to another company. Online rt had
a place for three attachments. agreement for dump site, location of dump site. and permits if applicable. No other forms were
asked for theTe, nor was there anywhere to attach additional information I am told that another company has filled out this form
and was within 10% of my price therefoTe was offered to match my price, costing me the Job. The form was part of the paper bid
packet (along with other forms to sign), but not a part of or asked for anywhere else on the online portion That to me is not
sealed bidding, but negotiated pricing between local bidders. I feel our system has failed us.
Regrettably yours,
Shon Stevens, President
J. D. Stevens. Inc.

JUdy.
A form was attached to the bid. It stated to claim local vendor preference you must fill out that form and submit it back with
your bid. If you subma the fOTm you will then be eligible to match the lowest bidder if you are tne next lowest and With In ten
percent If you submit lhe form and are the iowest bidder than you would be awarded. Your firm did not submit the form One of
the three bidders did submit and was next to the lowest and within the 10% thus they are allowed the opportunity to match the low
bid If they sign and agree to match then they are awarded the bid The entire process is kicked off by the Local Vendor
Preference form It has to be submitted with you bids to be eligible.
Any concerns please feel free to call me. 239-252-6098
