Chapter 7
Purchasing Code

Sec. 7.17.  Competitive Sealed Proposals
                    
A.     Determination of Use. When the Director determines that the use of competitive sealed bidding is either not practical or not advantageous to the City, due to existing market conditions or the type of service/supply required, a contract may be entered into through receipt of competitive sealed proposals. Competitive sealed proposals may also be used for the procurement of professional services.

B.     Request for Proposals. Competitive sealed proposals shall be solicited through a request for proposals.

C.     Public Notice. Public notice of the request for proposals shall be given in the same manner as provided for competitive sealed bidding.

D.     Receipt of Proposals. Proposals shall be opened and held in accordance with the Florida Public Records Law, Florida Statutes ch. 119.

E.     Evaluation Factors. The request for proposals shall state relative importance of cost or revenue to the City and other evaluation factors.

F.     Discussion with Responsible Offerors and Revisions to Proposals. As provided in the request for proposals, discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit proposals determined to be reasonably acceptable of being selected for award for the purpose of clarification and to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the solicitation requirements. Offerors shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals and such revisions may be permitted after submission prior to award for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers. In conducting discussions, there shall be no disclosure of any information derived from proposals submitted by competing offerors, except as may be required by the Florida Public Records Law, Florida Statutes ch. 119.

G.     Award. Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration the evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals. No other factors or criteria shall be used in the evaluation. The contract file shall contain the basis on which the award was made.
