Orders will be placed by Operating Departments using a Collier County purchase order. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in and is consistent with the FY13 Operating Budget approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 24, 2012. The source of funding is the Water-Sewer District Operating Fund 408. The exact fiscal impact will be dependent on the amount of water produced during the life of the contract; however, the Operating Departments anticipate an impact of approximately$200,000 per fiscal year. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for approval—SRT. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact on the County's Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, as Ex-officio the Governing Board of the Collier County Water-Sewer District, award Bid Number 12-5955 for the purchase and delivery of cartridge filters to Tri-Dim Filter Corporation.

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 87-25, and Collier County Resolution Number 2008-181 establishing and adopting the Collier County Purchasing Policy. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners has adopted a Local Preference "Right to Match" policy to enhance the opportunities of local businesses to receive awards of Collier County purchases. A "local business" is defined as a business that has a valid Business Tax Receipt, formerly known as an Occupational License issued by either Collier or Lee County for a minimum of one (1) year prior to a Collier County quote 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 quote or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. When a qualified and responsive non-local business submits the lowest price quote, and the quote submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten percent (10%) of the price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest quote offer (i.e. the lowest local vendor) shall have the opportunity to submit an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive vendor. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-local vendor and the lowest local vendor are in fact qualified and responsive vendors. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest local vendor meets the requirements of Section 287.087 F.S. If the lowest local vendor meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest local vendor to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local vendor submits an offer that fully matches the lowest quote from the lowest non-local vendor tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local vendor. If #12-5955 FILTERS 11 Packet Page-1079- 1/22/2013 Item 16.C.2. the lowest local vendor declines or is unable to match the lowest non local quote price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive vendor.
