THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development did not establish a County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal for this procurement, because there are no certified CBE firms that may be able to provide the service requested (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this contract is to provide an articulated off-road dump truck for use by the Solid Waste and Recycling Services Division.
In accordance with the Broward County Procurement Code, Section 21.135.e., the Director of Purchasing shall have the authority to enter into a contract awarded by a public procurement unit, provided that the procurement was accomplished under generally accepted public procurement principles.
The contract for the Florida Sheriffs Association and Florida Association of Counties was awarded on October 1, 2016 and expires on September 30, 2017.
