AN ORDINANCE OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REVISING SECTION 2-347(e)(2), 2-347(h)(5) AND REWRITING SECTION 2-347(1)(1)f. OF THE MONROE COUNTY CODE RELATING TO COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCEDURES; PROVIDING FOR PURCHASES THROUGH AN EXISTING COMPETIVIELY BID CONTRACT OR COOPERATIVE PURCHASING VENTURE AND SEEKING PRICE QUOTES FROM OTHER VENDORS WHEN DIRECTED; PROVIDING DISCRETION TO THE BOARD WHETHER TO DISQUALIFY A BIDDER/PROPOSER WHEN INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY SUBSECTION (h) IS MISREPRESENTED OR OMITTED; PROVIDING ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY PERSONS FOR THE COUNTY TO SUSPEND ELIGIBILITY TO BID FOR A WARD OF CONTRACTS IN COUNTY PROCUREMENT OF GOODS AND SERVICES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, Monroe County utilizes a competitive solicitation process for procurement of goods and services and award of contracts under the authority of the Florida Statutes, Monroe County Code of Ordinances ("MCC") §2-347 "Competitive bidding procedures"; Monroe County Purchasing Policy Chapter 3 ("County Policy"), and Administrative Instruction #4802.4; and

WHEREAS, MCC Competitive bidding procedures and County Policy provide an exemption from the competitive solicitation process for purchases of goods or services of $50,000.00 or more when the goods or services are purchased through an existing competitively bid contract or cooperative purchasing venture; and

WHEREAS, MCC Competitive bidding procedures §2-347(e)(2) currently requires the department to first contact other South Florida vendors for price quotes before any purchase is made through an existing competitively bid contract or cooperative purchasing venture; where the proposed revised ordinance provides that such price quotes must be obtained only when directed by the Purchasing Director or County Administrator, rather than as a mandatory prerequisite; and

WHEREAS, MCC Competitive bidding procedures §2-347(h)(5) currently requires automatic disqualification of a bidder/proposer that has misrepresented or omitted information in the proposal that is required by subsection (h); however, County staff favors that the Board of County Commissioners have the discretion to determine whether to disqualify a bidder/proposer in such circumstances; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(b) states that for purposes of §2-347, the term "person" means individuals, firms, joint ventures, partnerships, corporations, and other entities authorized to do business in ; and

Page 1 of 5 WHEREAS, eligible persons are allowed to submit bids and proposals for award of contracts in response to County solicitations for goods and services; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(l)(l)a.-f. codifies certain serious misconduct, acts and om1ss10ns committed by persons that justify suspension of that person's eligibility to submit bids and proposals to County solicitations; and

WHEREAS, to protect the County and public funds from potential persons that have committed serious misconduct, acts or omissions it is in the public's interest to have a comprehensive codified list of violations and offenses that warrant suspension of a person's eligibility to submit bids and proposals to County solicitations; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(l)(l)f. in its current form does not sufficiently protect the County or account for breach of a person's legal obligations and duties to provide the County a defense and indemnification in lawsuits or claims brought against it based on the person's work; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(l)(l)f. in its current form does not properly account for a person's violation of the contractual, bond and insurance coverage obligations and commitments owed to the County when it awards a contract; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(l)(l)f. in its current form merely states that one of the justifications for suspension of eligibility to bid on County contracts is "[ f]ailure to supply or furnish the county warranties required by a contract"; and

WHEREAS, MCC §2-347(l)(l)f. needs to be rewritten to achieve a broader, comprehensive and categorical group of acts or omissions to justify suspension of a person's eligibility to submit bids and proposals to the County's solicitation for goods and services;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:

SECTION 1: Section 2-347(e)(2) shall be amended to read as follows:

(2) When the goods or services sought are expected to cost $50,000.00 or more and are available to the county through an existing contract between a vendor and the state, the United States, or another county of the state, municipality, special district, or other governmental entity or not for profit association's competitively awarded contract, then compliance with the terms of this section is not required. However, before any purchase is made through an existing contract, the department head, if directed by the Purchasing Director or County Administrator, must first contact other South Florida vendors in order to determine if the goods or services sought are available at a lower price than the price of the existing contract. If the goods or services are available from another vendor at a lower price than the existing contract, then the contract for the goods or services must be awarded to that vendor, unless the price is only of minor concern compared to the qualitative considerations. The purchase of the goods or services sought may be

Page 2 of5 made through the existing contract if none of the other vendors contacted by the department head offered the goods or services at a price lower than the price of the existing contract. The results of the requests from vendors shall be submitted to the purchasing director for verification before the contract is approved by the county.

SECTION 2: Section 2-347(h)(5) shall be amended to read as follows: (5) Answers to the following questions regarding claims and suits: a. Has the person, principals, entity, or any entity previously owned, operated or directed by any of its officers, major shareholders or directors, ever failed to complete work or provide the goods for which it has contracted? If yes, provide details; b. Are there any judgments, claims, arbitration proceeding or suits pending or outstanding against the person, principal of the entity, or entity, or any entity previously owned, operated or directed by any of its officers, directors, or general partners? If yes, provide details; c. Has the person, principal of the entity, entity, or any entity previously owned, operated or directed by any of its officers, major shareholders or directors, within the last five years, been a party to any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation with regard to a contract for services, goods or construction services similar to those requested in the specifications with private or public entities? If yes, provide details; d. Has the person, principal of the entity, or any entity previously owned, operated or directed by any of its officers, owners, partners, major shareholders or directors, ever initiated litigation against the county or been sued by the county in connection with a contract to provide services, goods or construction services? If yes, provide details; e. Whether, within the last five years, the owner, an officer, general partner, principal, controlling shareholder or major creditor of the person or entity was an officer, director, general partner, principal, controlling shareholder or major creditor of any other entity that failed to perform services or furnish goods similar to those sought in the request for competitive solicitation; f. Customer references (minimum of three), including name, current address and current telephone number; g. Credit references (minimum of three), including name, current address and current telephone number; h. Financial statements for the prior three years for the responding entity or for any entity that is a subsidiary to the responding entity; and

1. Any financial information requested by the county department involved in the competitive solicitation, related to the financial qualifications, technical competence, the ability to satisfactorily perform within the contract time constraints, or other information the department deems necessary to enable the department and board of county commissioners to determine ifthe person responding is responsible. The department requesting competitive solicitations and the county attorney reviewing the competitive solicitations must make sure that all bid solicitations request the information required by subsection (h).

Page 3 of 5 The department requesting the competitive solicitations must evaluate the information received, and then prepare a recommendation to the board of county commissioners as to whether the lowest bidder or the highest ranked proposer is responsible in the view of the information received. In evaluating the information received, the requesting department is directed to give particular consideration in preparing their recommendation to the bidder's/proposer's responses to subsection (h)(5)a.-i. of this section. If the department or county attorney have a reasonable belief that any information furnished by a bidder/proposer is false, misleading or omits relevant facts, the department is directed to investigate any lawfully available information resource in order to be able to adequately advise the board as to whether a bidder/proposer is responsible. If after the responses to competitive solicitations are received, it is discovered that a bidder/proposer misrepresented or omitted information required by subsection (h), then his bid/proposal may be disqualified. If the misrepresentation or omission is discovered after the contract is awarded, the board of county commissioners may, in its discretion, terminate the contract with no liability to the county other than to pay the contract price or unit price for work that is satisfactorily completed and useful to the county up to the date of the meeting of the board of county commissioners terminating the contract. The foregoing must appear in all contracts covered by this article.

SECTION 3: Section 2-347(l)(l)f. is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

Failure of the person to comply with any obligation, term, or condition in an existing County contract or to provide a bond, warranty or insurance coverage as required by contract or law, including but not limited to failure of the person to provide the County a defense or indemnification in legal claims and actions pursued against it as required by contract or law.

SECTION 4: SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or declared to be unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such holding shall not affect the remaining portions of this ordinance. If this ordinance or any provision thereof shall be held to be inapplicable to any person, property or circumstances, such holding shall not affect its applicability to any other person, property or circumstances.

SECTION 5: CONFLICT WITH OTHER ORDINANCES. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict.

SECTION 6: TRANSMITTAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be filed with the Department of State and shall be effective as provided in section 125.66(2), Florida Statutes.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held on the 18th day of October , 2017.
