The Public Works Department requests that an additional small local business vendor be added to this request so that we can continue procuring contracts for construction projects under $50,000 until reaching a threshold of $1.5M for this fiscal year. This efficient procurement process for small construction contracts has been instrumental for the Public Works Department to procure 51 construction contracts identified for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement.
The Department will continue with its current procedure of requesting three quotes for each project as required by the "Code of Ordinances of Escambia County, Florida, Chapter 46, Finance, Article II, Purchase and Contracts" for these small construction projects. Upon receipt of the quotes, the lowest responsive bidder will be selected and all responses and supporting documentation will be sent to the Office of Purchasing for purchase order processing.
The Department is continuing to use Contract PD 10-11.065 "Drainage and Paving Pricing Agreement" for projects over $50,000 and under $350,000. When Pricing Agreement vendors are not interested in accepting a project, the Department has been and will continue to proceed with a formal bid. |
