25 CBE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTING BIDS A BID WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED RESPONSIVE UNLESS THE BIDDER COMPLIES WITH THE CBE PARTICIPATION GOAL ESTABLISHED FOR THIS CONTRACT (AS PROVIDED IN PART I BELOW) OR DEMONSTRATES THAT THE BIDDER MADE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO MEET THE CBE PARTICIPATION GOAL (AS PROVIDED IN PART II BELOW) AND SUBMITS THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WITH THE BID. PART I. CBE GOAL COMPLIANCE Bidders must comply with the CBE participation goal established for this bid and must submit all forms required by items (1) through (5) with the bid submittal in order to be responsive under this Part. The forms submitted shall only address the base bid. No alternate bid item(s) shall be addressed. If CBE participation for alternate bid item(s) is required, the participation shall be addressed after bid opening as follows: Certain projects may include alternate bid item(s) for which a bidder is required to submit a bid and for which the County reserves the right to award after bid opening. If the County chooses to exercise the right to award alternate bid item(s), the CBE participation goal for this bid shall apply to the alternate bid item(s) to be awarded, and the County shall issue a CBE notice to the apparent successful bidder which shall require the bidder to comply with the CBE participation goal for the alternate bid item(s). Prior to award, the apparent successful bidder shall submit to the County all forms required by the CBE notice applicable to the alternate bid item(s) to be awarded. Failure to submit the required forms may result in the bidder being deemed non-responsible and rejection of the bid. (1) The following information must be submitted for each CBE firm that the bidder proposes to utilize if awarded this bid: a. The names and addresses of each CBE firm that will participate in the contract resulting from this bid; b. A description of the work that each CBE firm will perform; c. The dollar or percentage amount of the participation each CBE firm will receive under the contract resulting from this bid; d. Signed and sworn or affirmed acknowledgement before a notary public of the bidder s commitment to use each CBE firm whose participation the bidder submits for the purpose of meeting the contract participation goal; and e. Signed and sworn or affirmed acknowledgement before a notary public from each CBE firm that it will participate in the contract as provided in (1)b. and (1)c. above. The information required in (1), above, shall be submitted titled Letter of Intent to Utilize County Business Enterprise (CBE) Subcontractor/Subconsultant and titled Schedule of (CBE) Participation. Any change of a proposed CBE firm after bid opening but prior to award shall be by utilization of another CBE firm or firms certified by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development to perform at least the same percentage of work that was to be performed by the CBE firm being replaced. (2) If the bidder is a joint venture that includes a CBE firm as a joint venturer, a Joint Venture Eligibility Application must be submitted with the bid either in addition to the Letter of Intent to Utilize County Business Enterprise (CBE) Subcontractor/Subconsultant and Schedule of (CBE) Participation if credit is desired for the CBE firm that is a participant in the joint venture. A joint venture that includes a CBE firm as a bidder will be credited with CBE participation on the basis of the percentage of work to be performed by the CBE firm or the percentage of profit to accrue to the CBE firm. For example, if a joint venture that Page 14 of 92

26 includes a CBE firm that is proposed to perform fifty percent (50%) of a project quoted at $500,000 and fifty percent (50%) of the profits are to accrue to the CBE firm in the joint venture, the CBE firm s participation will be credited as fifty percent (50%) of the work or $250,000. (3) A CBE firm that bids to provide the goods or services will be credited with CBE participation for that portion of the contract work that the CBE firm performs and for that portion subcontracted to other CBE firms. That is, in determining whether a CBE firm that is bidding has met the contract participation goal, the amount of contract participation by the bidding CBE firm shall be included in calculating the total CBE participation under the contract. For example, if a bidding CBE firm proposes to perform fifty percent (50%) of the work quoted at $500,000 and to subcontract twenty-five percent (25%) to a non-cbe firm and twenty-five percent (25%) to a CBE firm, the CBE participation will be credited at seventy-five percent (75%) or $375,000. (4) A bidder may also count expenditures for materials and supplies towards its CBE participation goals if the supplier or manufacturer is a CBE firm, and if the CBE firm is under contract with the bidder to provide the materials and supplies. (5) A bidder must include the information required by (1) through (4) above with its sealed bid response. PART II. DETERMINATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORT A bidder may be determined responsive despite the failure of the bidder to meet the contract participation goal for this bid if the bidder provides sufficient documentation of its good faith effort to meet the goal at the time the bidder submits its bid. A good faith effort to meet the CBE contract participation goal shall be based on compliance with items (1) and (2) below; however, in determining whether a bidder has made a good faith effort, the County may take into account the response of other bidders regarding the contract participation goal. For example, when the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the contract participation goal, but others meet it, it is proper to question whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent successful bidder could have met the goal. If the apparent successful bidder fails to meet the goal, but meets or exceeds the average CBE participation obtained by other bidders, this may be viewed, in conjunction with other factors, as evidence that the apparent successful bidder made a good faith effort. In addition, the quality, quantity, and intensity of the various efforts made by the bidder shall be considered in determining whether a bidder has made a good faith effort to meet the goal. In all cases, final determination of the sufficiency of a bidder s good faith effort may be made by the Board of County Commissioners. (1) A bidder who has made a good faith effort but failed to meet the contract participation goal established for this bid shall complete and submit a CBE Unavailability Report at the time the bidder submits its bid. Bidders who submit a CBE Unavailability Report with their bid must demonstrate the reasonable efforts they made to meet the goal by submitting adequate documentation. (2) A bidder shall support its demonstration of good faith effort by submitting a detailed written statement or statements of its effort together with adequate documentation of such effort. A bidder may demonstrate good faith efforts by reporting and documenting the activities undertaken, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Specifically soliciting CBE firms (or firms that are eligible for CBE certification) that have the capability to perform portions of the contract work. For example, a bidder should consider soliciting such CBE firms while in attendance at pre-bid meetings, or by targeted advertising, or by written notices. The bidder must solicit CBE firms in a timely manner to allow them to adequately respond to the solicitation. The bidder must take appropriate steps to follow up its solicitation of CBE firms. Page 15 of 92

27 b. Identifying portions of the work required by the bid that can reasonably be performed by a CBE firm. This may include, where appropriate, separating work items into economically feasible units to facilitate CBE participation, even when the bidder might otherwise prefer to perform the work with its own forces. c. Providing each interested CBE firm with adequate information about the plans, specifications, and requirements of the work in a timely manner. d. Negotiating in good faith with each interested CBE firm. Evidence of such negotiation should include the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of CBE firms that were considered; a description of the information provided to the CBE firm regarding the plans and specifications for the work selected for subcontracting; and evidence as to why there is not a current agreement with the interested CBE firm to perform the work. e. Use of good business judgment regarding a number of factors in negotiating with all subcontractors, including CBE firms, and in considering such subcontractors price and capabilities. The fact that there may be additional costs involved in subcontracting with CBE firms is not in itself a sufficient good faith effort that justifies a bidder's failure to meet the CBE contract participation goal, if such additional costs are reasonable. The determination of whether additional costs are reasonable shall be made by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development, in consultation with the County s Purchasing Division. f. If a CBE firm is rejected as unqualified to perform desired work, such rejection must be for sound reasons and occur only after a diligent investigation of the CBE firm's capabilities. Page 16 of 92

46 ATTACHMENT A SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 1. SCOPE Bids are hereby invited for furnishing all labor, equipment, testing, tools, transportation and materials for the performance of Fire Hydrant Inspection Maintenance, Installation and Repair Services. Services and material shall be in accordance with Broward County Water and Wastewater Services Minimum Standards. Broward County has approximately 5,500 fire hydrants in its system and there are currently several different types of hydrants covered under this contract, including manufacturers, American Darling, AVK, Clow, Kennedy, M&H, Mueller, US Pipe and Waterous. Contractor is expected to perform inspection maintenance on approximately 2,000 fire hydrants annually. Broward County will determine fire hydrant inspection schedule and provide to Contractor. 2. DEFINITIONS ATV (Anti-Terrorism Valve): Internal check valve installed in the upper barrel to protect of intentional or inadvertent contamination of water lines through the fire hydrant. ATV acts as barrier that prevents foreign objects: i.e., biological, radiological or chemical agents, from being introduced into a water distribution system. Auxiliary Valve: A gate valve or other type of valve that is installed in the pipe to the water main (that is, the hydrant lead). The auxiliary valve can be closed to isolate the hydrant. It is also called the hydrant gate or hydrant control valve. Base: A part that provides a lateral connection to the hydrant lead and directs the flow vertically upward into the lower barrel. Also called shoe, bottom, boot, or elbow. Bonnet: A part that attaches to the top of the nozzle section and encloses the support portions of the operating mechanism. It may be integral with the nozzle section. Also called hydrant cap or cover. Breakable barrel coupling: A coupling used to fasten the upper barrel to the lower barrel. It is designed to break if stressed severely, such as vehicle striking the hydrant. Also called flangible standpipe coupling. Breakable bolt: Bolts used to fasten the upper barrel to the lower barrel. Breakable bolts are designed to break if stressed severely, such as a vehicle striking the hydrant. Also called frangible bolt. Breakable flange: A part that bolts to a mating flange at a joint between the hydrant upper and lower barrels, which is located immediately above the ground line. It is designed to break if stressed severely, such as a vehicle striking the hydrant. Also called breakaway flange or traffic flange. Broward County Water and Wastewater Services Minimum Standards: Water/Sewer Technical Standards, which includes Water and Sewer Standard Details and Product Specification Sheets. Bury: The nominal vertical distance between the ground line and the bottom of the pipe connected to the hydrant inlet, measured to the nearest 6-in. (15.2-cm) increment. Page 35 of 92

47 Cover: The nominal vertical distance between the ground line and the top of the pipe connected to the hydrant inlet, measured to the nearest 6-in. (15.2-cm) increment. (Use of this measurement is discouraged in favor of bury.) Direction to Open: The direction in which the operating nut is rotated to open the hydrant: open left is counterclockwise when viewed from above, while open right is clockwise. Drain Valve: A valve located at or adjacent to the valve seat ring. The drain valve opens automatically when the main valve is closed; this allows water to drain from the barrel into the ground. In like fashion, the drain valve closes automatically when the main valve is opened. The mechanism is usually designed so that, when the main valve is opened, the drain valve closes completely after only one to five turns of the operating nut. Drain outlet: The opening in the base (or adjacent part of the base) through which water escapes to the ground when the drain valve is open. Also called drain bushing, drip tubing, drain-hole liner, drain cup. Frangible stem coupling: A stem coupling designed to break if it is stressed severely, such as a vehicle striking the hydrant. Also called breakable coupling, frangible value-rod coupling. Gland bushing: A part that is used to line a gland. Ground line: The nominal elevation to which the hydrant barrel is buried during installation. Gate: A part that supports the main valve. It is moved, first horizontally and then vertically, to open or close the main valve opening in a slide-gate hydrant. Also called main gate. Hose Connection: An outlet to which 3-in. (7.6-cm) or smaller hose can be connected. Hose outlet nozzle: An outlet nozzle that has an opening that is 3 in. (7.6 cm) or smaller in diameter, and is suitable for attachment of a 3-in. (7.6-cm) or smaller fire hose. Hydrant gate: See auxiliary valve. Hydrant lead: The pipe connecting the hydrant to the water main. The hydrant lead is also called the branch or lateral. Hydrant meters: Portable flowmeters that can be attached to a hose nozzle to measure the flow rate or the total flow over a period of time. Lower barrel: A part that extends from the base to the ground line, enclosing the stem. The lower barrel conducts water from the base to the upper portion of the hydrant. Also called standpipe. Lower valve plate: A part that is positioned below the main valve and clamps the main valve against the upper valve plate. Also called lower valve washer, valve-ball bottom, lower cap nut, bottom plate. Main valve: A part made of rubber, leather, balata gum, or a similar resilient material; the main valve is forced against a seat to form a watertight seal when the hydrant is closed. Also called valve, valve rubber, valve-ball rubber, valve seat, value gasket, valve disc. Main-valve opening: The inside diameter of the valve seat ring. Also referred to as the value opening. Page 36 of 92

48 NFPA: National Fire Protection Association. No-drain hydrant: A dry barrel hydrant that is not equipped with a drain valve, or one in which the drain outlets have been plugged. Such hydrants are generally used where the groundwater level may be above the level of the drain outlets to protect against water freezing. No-drain hydrants must be pumped out or otherwise emptied of water after each use. Nozzle section: A part that extends upward from the barrel and contains the outlet nozzles. It may be integral with the upper barrel. (When the nozzle section is integral with the upper barrel, the part may be referred to as the upper standpipe or upper barrel. This is not preferred nomenclature.) Outlet nozzle: The outlet nozzle is secured in the nozzle section and has an opening through which water can be discharged. The outlet nozzle is threaded or otherwise formed to permit attachment of a fire-hose connection. Also called nozzle, spud. Outlet-nozzle cap: A cap that is attached to an outlet nozzle and covers the nozzle opening. The cap is furnished with a nut or other means to permit the application of force adequate to firmly attach it to or remove it from the outlet nozzle. Operating nut: An external hydrant part that is turned by a hydrant wrench to rotate the stem nut or stem; it may be integral with the stem nut or stem. Packing gland: A part that compresses packing rings in a stuffing box. Also called packing pusher. Packing plate: A part that partitions the interior of the hydrant and contains or supports a stuffing box or other means of sealing one compartment from another. Also called seal plate, support ring. Pipe connection: The inlet of the hydrant at which connection is made to the hydrant lead. Pumper connection: An outlet to which a hose 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm) or larger can be connected. Pumper outlet nozzle: An outlet nozzle with an opening at least 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm) in diameter, suitable for attachment of 3 1/2-in. (8.9-cm) or larger fire hose. Also called steamer nozzle, steamer connection, pumper nozzle, or pumper connection. Seat-ring insert: A part with internal threads that is secured and sealed to the hydrant base. The internal threads engage with the external threads on the valve seat ring. The seat-ring insert may also serve as a part of the drain system. Also called drain ring, retainer ring, subseat, insert ring. Stem: A part of the operating mechanism that extends down to the main-valve assembly and moves the main valve to close or open the hydrant. The stem is often in two parts, particularly in a traffic model: the upper stem and the lower stem. Also called upper rod or lower rod. Stem coupling: A part that joins the portions of a two-part stem. Also called rod coupling. Stem nut: A part that is internally threaded and engages with threads on the stem so that when the part is rotated, or when the stem is rotated and the stem nut is stationary, the stem is raised or lowered to move the valve. Also called operating nut, operating stem nut, or revolving nut. Stop nut: A part that is permanently threaded or otherwise attached to the stem and limits the vertical travel of the stem. Also called stem stop or travel-stop nut. Page 37 of 92

49 Stuffing box: A cylindrical cavity that surrounds the stem and contains a number of packing rings used to prevent leakage along the stem. The stuffing box may be an individual component or a portion of another component, also called packing box. Traffic model: A hydrant designed and constructed so that, if it is struck by a vehicle, certain easily replaceable components will break and allow the upper portion (above the ground line) to become detached from the lower portion (below the ground line). The below ground section will remain intact and undamaged. They are designed so that the main valve remains closed after impact to prevent interruption of the water supply and minimize injury to persons and property. Upper barrel repair: A part that extends from the lower barrel at the ground line to the nozzle section, enclosing the stem. It may be integral with the nozzle section. Also called upper standpipe. (When the upper barrel is an integral part of the nozzle section, then the term nozzle section would incorporate the term upper barrel.) Upper valve plate: A support for the main valve, positioned above the valve. The upper valve plate may also serve as the portion of the drain valve that is moved when the stem rotates. It may also serve as the means to prevent rotation of the valve, stem, and associated parts. Also called top plate, upper valve washer, value-ball top, valve top plate, value plate, and hydrant-valve top. Valve seat ring: A part threaded into and sealed to the hydrant base (or associated part adjacent to the base). The main valve is forced against the valve seat ring to close the hydrant. Also called seat ring or valve seat. Weather shield: A part that forms a skirt above and surrounding the opening in the hydrant top through which the stem, stem nut, or operating nut protrudes. It may be integral with the operating nut. Also called weather cap. 3.
