THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE OFFICE OF MEDICAL EXAMINER AND TRAUMA SERVICES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) did not assign County Business Enterprise (CBE) goals for this procurement because there are no certified CBE firms that can meet the requirements of the solicitation. The OESBD determined that this project is not subject to the Broward County Workforce Investment Program (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this solicitation is to engage a qualified firm to provide removal and transportation of deceased persons, medical records, specimens, physical evidence and storage of deceased persons, between various locations throughout Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties on an as needed basis, 24 hours per day, seven days per week for the Office of Medical Examiner and Trauma Services.
The RFP method of procurement was selected for this project to best serve the County with additional evaluation criteria other than price alone. The RFP method provides for predefined evaluation criteria for ranking of firms based upon the required specialized technical expertise. Proposers are required to determine the best method to accomplish these specialized services (Exhibit 1). |
