Local Vendor Preference Policy (a). Definitions. (1) Local business means the vendor has: 12 a) A valid business tax receipt issued by the City of Sebastian, or by Indian River County, at the time a bid or Bid is submitted, and 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 Bid. 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 Bidder in a Bid or bid submittal to the city will lose the privilege to claim local preference status for a period of 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, person property, general services, personal property, 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 nonlocal business submits the lowest pr ice 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 nonlocal area business bidder. Within five working days after the posting of the qualified and responsive bids, any local area business that has submitted a qualified and responsive bid within five (5) percent of the lowest bid by a nonlocal 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 submits an offer that matches the lowest bid submitted, then the award shall be made to such local 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 qualified and responsive 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 nonlocal 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. (2) Ties. In the event of any tie in the final bid price between a qualified and responsive 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 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. 13 (d) Exception to local vendor preference policy . The local preference policy set forth herein 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 and the laws, regulations, or policies governing such funding prohibit application of that preference; or (3) Purchases made or contracts let under emergency or noncompetitive situations, or for litigation related legal services, as described in the City’s purchasing policies; or (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. (f) Comparison and review of qualifications. The preferences established herein no way prohibit the right of the City of Sebastian to compare and review th e quality of materials proposed for purchase, and to compare and review the qualifications, character, responsibility and fitness of all persons, Bidders or corporations submitting bids or Bids. 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. (h) Dispute resolution. Any dispute arising under the provision of this section shall first be presented to the City Manager for determination.

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 (form al 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 Contract/Agreement officer or Purchasing Director, as applicable.
