work which conflicts with his duties as the City's Contractor without the prior written
consent of the City during the term of this Agreement. Any work the Contractor can

litigation or administrative proceeding will constitute a conflict of interest under this
Agreement.

laws and regulations relating to providing services under this Agreement. The failure of the
Contractor to adhere to any known law or regulation pertaining to furnishing services under
this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Agreement without liability and, at its discretion, deduct from the Agreement price, or
otherwise recover, the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage, gift or consideration.
23. GUARANTEE. The Contractor shall warrant all equipment and tools furnished by him to
perform the Work are in safe and proper operating condition and free of defects. Such

result of poor workmanship, use of defective tools and equipment, damaged through
carelessness or from other cause shall be corrected within ten (10) days after written notice is

services to be performed under this Agreement, it is essential that the Work be completed in

The Contractor acknowledges that due to the nature of the Work under this Agreement,
time is of the essence. The Contractor also acknowledges the difficulties involved in proving

LOCAL VENDOR
PREFERENCE POLICY
Sec. 2-11. Local vendor preference policy.
(a) Definitions.
(1) Local business means the vendor has:
a. A valid business tax receipt issued by the City of Sebastian, Indian River County,
County at the time a bid or proposal is submitted, and St. Lucie County, Martin County, Okeechobee County, Osceola County, or Brevard
Supp, N0.45
CD2:5
§ 2-11 SEBASTIAN CODE
b. A physical address located within the local area, in an area zoned for the conduct
of such business, from which the vendor is operating a significant portion of its
business, and at which it maintains full-time employees.
(2) Nonlocal business means any vendor that does not meet the definition of a business
within the local area.
(b) Establishment as local area business. To establish that a vendor is a local area business
a vendor shall provide written documentation of compliance with the definitions for each such
local business as defined in subsection (1) herein, at the time of submitting a bid or proposal.
Post office boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing the
required physical business address. A vendor that misrepresents the local area status of its
firm in a proposal or bid submittal to the city will lose the privilege to claim local preference
status for a period two years.
(c) Local preference in purchasing and contracting. The City of Sebastian shall give
preference to local area businesses in the purchase of commodities, personal property, general
services, personal property, general services, professional services, and the purchase of or
contract for construction or renovation of public works or other public improvements by means
of competitive bid. The city shall give such preference to local area businesses in the following
manner:
(1) Competitive bid. Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall clearly identify how the
price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined.
When a qualified and responsive nonfocal business submits the lowest price bid, and
the lowest bid submitted by a qualified and,responsive local area business is within
five percent of the lowest bid, then the lowest bidding local area business shall have
the opportunity to submit an offer to match the price submitted by the lowest nonfocal
area business bidder.
Within five working days after the posting of the qualified and responsive bids, any
local area business that has submitted a bid within five percent of the lowest bid by a
nonfocal area business, and that wants the opportunity to match the lowest bid, shall
submit a written offer to match the lowest bid. If the lowest local area business bidder
submits an offer that matches the lowest bid submitted, then the award shall be made
to such local area business.
If the lowest local area business bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest bids,
then the option to do so moves to the next local area business if its bid is within five
percent of the lowest bids, and it is a qualified and responsive bidder.
If the lowest bid is submitted by a qualified and responsive local area business, there
is no local vendor preference.
If a local area business accepts the opportunity to match the lowest bid of a nonfocal
area business and that bid is'based on unit price bid items and estimated quantities,
then the unit prices for all bid items shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in
the local area business's total bid amount required to match the lowest total bid.
Supp. No. 45 CD2:6
ADMINISTRATION § 2-11
(2) Iles. In the event of any tie in the final bid price between a local area business, and a
nonlocal area business, a contract award, or the first opportunity to negotiate, as
applicable, shall be made to the local area business. In the event of any tie between a
business located within the City of Sebastian and a business within the greater local
area, the business located within the City of Sebastian shall be awarded the contract
or receive the first opportunity to negotiate, as applicable. In the event of any two
businesses located within the City of Sebastian, or two businesses located within the
greater local area, the local vendor with the greatest number of full-time employees
working in the City of Sebastian or the greater local area respectively, shall be
awarded the contract or receive the first opportunity to negotiate as applicable.

shall not apply to any of the following purchases or contracts:
(1) Goods or services provided under a cooperative purchasing agreement or piggyback
agreement; or
(2) Purchases or contract which are funded, in whole or part, by a governmental entity

(4) Purchases or contracts with an estimated cost of $5,000.00 or less; or
(5) Purchases or contracts where the difference between the amount of the low bid
submitted by a qualified and responsive nonlocal area business and the lowest bid
submitted by a qualified and responsive local area business is greater than $25,000.00;
or
(6) Where all bids are rejected.
(e) Waiver of the application for local vendor preference policy. Any request for the waiver
of local preference to any particular purchase or contract must be heard by the city council
prior to advertising the bid. The city council, as the awarding authority, may approve the
waiver of local preference upon review and at its discretion.
(t) Comparison and review of qualifications. The preferences established herein no way
prohibit the right of the City of Sebastian to compare and review the quality of materials
Proposed for purchase, and to compare and review the qualifications, character, responsibility
and fitness of all persons, firms or corporations submitting bids or proposals. Furthermore, the
local preference established herein shall not prohibit the city from giving any other preference
permitted by law in addition to the local preference contained herein.
(g) Administration of local preference policy. This policy shall apply to all departments,
functions and funds under the governance of the City of Sebastian, unless subsection (d)
applies.

The 1989 Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 458 creating Sections 287.132 -133,
Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 1989. Section 287.132(3)(d), Florida Statutes, requires the
Florida Department of General Services to maintain and make available to other political
entities a "convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who are disqualified from
public and purchasing process because they have been found guilty of a public entity crime.
A public entity crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any
State or Federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity in Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any
other state or with the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for
goods or services to be provided to any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision
and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material
misrepresentation.
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any Agreement to, or transact
any business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes,
for category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list
for a period of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the convicted
vendor list unless that person or affiliate has been removed from the list pursuant to Section
287.133(3)(f), Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October 1, 1990, prior to entering into an Agreement (formal
Agreement or purchase order) in excess of the threshold amount of $10,000 to provide goods
or services to THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, a person shall file a sworn statement with the

Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and
directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency
or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States, including, but not

to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury
verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.

shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an
affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in
another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair

preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.
7. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes,
means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the

The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of the officers,
directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who are
active in management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with
and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989, AND (Please
indicate which additional statement applies.)
There has been a proceeding concerning the conviction before a hearing officer
of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The final order entered
by the hearing officer did not place the person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list.
(Please attach a copy of the final order.)
The person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list. There has been
a subsequent proceeding before a hearing officer of the State of Florida, Division of
Administrative Hearings. The final order entered by the hearing
officer determined that it was in the public interest to remove the person or affiliate
from the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)
