Fifteen (15) invitations for bids were mailed and one response was received.

vital radio communication operations of the Police, Fire -Rescue and other City

2.25. MINORITY/ PreOCUREMENT PROGRAM - Ordinance Nu. 0062, as amended, entitled the Minority
and Women Business Affairs and Procurement Ordinance of the City, Florida, sets forth "...a goal of
awarding at least 51 percent of the City's total annual dollar volume of all expenditures for all goods and
services to Black, Hispanic and Women minority business enterprises on an equal basis." A minority
business enterprise is defined as a business firm "...in which at least 51 percent of said enterprise is owned by
Blacks, Hispanics, or Women and whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or
-more Blacks, Hispanics or Women."
To achieve the goal established by these Ordinances, participation in providing goods and services to the
City by minorities is being encouraged in a number of ways. All bidders doing business with the City are
encouraged to include the participation of minority firms in their bids. In evaluating bids for determination
of awards, minority participation may be a factor. Failure to adequately involve minority firms may be a
basis for rejecting any and all bids.
Possible ways to include minority participation would involve:
1. Joint venture with a minority firm(s)
2. Utilizing minority firm(s) as subcontractor(s).
3. Utilizing minority firm(s) to supply goods and/or services.
4. Successful implementation of well defined affirmative action program.
5. Other forms of minority participation, if properly documented.
Successful bidder(s) shall be required to establish an Affirmative Action Plan, if not, an Affirmative
Action Policy shall be established, pursuant to Ordinance #10062 as amended. Effective date of
implementation must be indicated on the policy.
A "Minority Status Information Sheet" in Section 6.7 is provided to assist bidders in presenting information
concerning minority participation.
Minority and women business firms are encouraged, but not required, to register with the City prior to
submitting bids. The Purchasing Department will provide the necessary forms and instructions upon
request. All bidders are urged to submit bids for any goods or services that they are able to supply,
regardless of minority classification. However, compliance with all requests for information regarding
Minority/Women Status or Participation is required. Bidder's cooperation is greatly needed to aid the City in
achieving its goal.
