Small business program in Gadsden County

Small business program

One stated purpose of Gadsden County's procurement policy is to encourage the growth of small and minority businesses and their participation in county purchasing, and the Purchasing Director acts as the county's Minority Business Enterprise Coordinator. For purchases paid with federal funds, the county encourages minority and women's business enterprises to bid, sends notice to firms on the county's, the State of Florida's, the Florida Department of Transportation's or other local MBE/WBE lists, and requires contractors to make good faith efforts to get MBE/WBE participation when the bid specifications call for it.

When Gadsden County buyers must bid it out

Small purchases up to $3,500 need no quotes or bids. From $3,501 up to $10,000 the county gets three telephone quotes documented in writing, and over $10,000 up to $25,000 three written quotes from separate vendors, each given the same written request.

Purchases over $25,000 must be bid competitively by sealed Invitation to Bid, Request for Qualifications or Request for Proposals, and above $35,000 the Board of County Commissioners approves the purchase. An Invitation to Bid is advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and on the Board's website, and a vendor who finds an ambiguity or error must ask in writing at least five working days before bids are due; answers are issued as addenda.

Where Gadsden County posts bid results

Bids are opened in public at the time and place in the Invitation to Bid, with at least one Purchasing Office representative there, and the record of bids (the Bid Report) and each bid are open to public inspection. Notice of the intended award may be given by posting the bid tabulation where the bids were opened, by telephone or by mail, as the bid states, and a vendor can ask in its bid for the tabulation sheet to be mailed in a stamped, self-addressed envelope it provides.

To protest, file a written notice with the Purchasing Division within 72 hours after the bid tabulation is posted and a formal written protest within ten calendar days after that notice; the Purchasing Director tries to settle it within 14 days.
