Municipalities and public governmental entities follow their rules, guidelines, and certification processes in adhering to best practices in governmental procurement. Local Purchasing as defined by the NIGP: Local purchasing is a bid preference which may be given to suppliers doing business in the purchasing jurisdiction. Local purchasing is often promoted as a means of benefiting the local economy. NIGP’s Potential Local Procurement Impacts 1) achieving local social policy goals to assist the local economy 2) protecting the local economy 3) increasing cost to the local taxpayers and government to implement such a program 4) limiting supplier competition 5) reducing the incentive for local businesses to provide the best value for the dollar for the purchased goods/services 6) affecting, complicating and potentially burdening the procurement administrative processes and award time at increased cost to the City 7) defining a defendable fair process to determine the definition of a local business including, but not limited to, geographic location requirements, management and ownership control 8) lacking equal opportunity or reciprocity with other jurisdictions 9) disqualifying entity for receiving Federal Grant Money, or FEMA Reimbursements* 10) disallowing use for cooperative purchases and on piggybacks *Florida State Statute 255.0991 also states when a local preference may not be used with State funding NIGP’s Local Procurement Position “NIGP maintains the position that preference policies, including local preferences, conflict with the fundamental public procurement principles of impartiality and full and open competition. Therefore, NIGP does not support the use of preference policies. Furthermore, NIGP recommends that any local procurement preferences be implemented only as one of several criteria in a 'best value' evaluation and award process.” “NIGP maintains the position that local preference policies are in conflict with the fundamental public procurement principles of impartiality and full and open competition” Local Procurement in the City’s Code Sec. 2-307(A)(1)a. If two (2) or more bidders are tied, the tie may be broken, and the successful bidder selected by the following criteria presented in order of importance and consideration. 1. Quality of the items or services… 2. Delivery time if provided in the bid… 3. Certification of a “Drug–Free Workplace Program”… 4. Location of Vendor with the following award preferences: i. A Coral Springs vendor ii. A Broward County vendor iii. A Florida vendor 5.
