The City of Margate (acting as lead agency for the Southeast Florida Governmental Cooperative Purchasing Group), advertised for bids to supply aggregates, top soils and sand to the City of Margate and the participating members of the Cooperative. Four firms responded by submitting bids. Staff recommends awarding the bid items to a primary and secondary vendor for each bid item based on the two lowest responsive bids received for each item. The attached spreadsheet is based on staff’s recommendation that the vendor with the lowest bid price for each item be awarded as the primary vendor and the vendor with the next lowest bid price be awarded as the secondary vendor.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the multiple award
FISCAL IMPACT: Purchases have historically averaged $50,000 +/- annually. Funds for these expenditures are budgeted in multiple departmental accounts.
