FORMAL PROCUREMENT (REQUIRED OVER $2,001) <br />Formal Procurement includes the acquisition of commodities or <br />securing services that are expected to cost $2,001 or more, and <br />requires formal advertising and submission of competitive sealed <br />bids, sealed proposals, or competitive negotiation. <br />Sealed bids are publicly solicited and a firm -fixed-price <br />contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsive <br />bidder who conforms to or exceeds all material requirements, terms <br />and conditions of the invitation for bids, and presents the lowest <br />reasonable price that meets requirements and needs. <br />Sealed Bidding shall be used unless the county's purchasing <br />manager certifies in writing that sealed bidding is not practicable <br />or advantageous, in which case procurement shall be based on sealed <br />proposals, or on competitive negotiation when required by Florida <br />Statutes. <br />The technique of competitive negotiation is normally conducted <br />with more than one source submitting a proposal for services with <br />either a fixed-price or cost -reimbursement type contract awarded. <br />It is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the <br />use of sealed bids or proposals indicating fees. Florida Statutes <br />shall determine the manner in which such negotiations are performed <br />and the types of contractual services which are to be procured in <br />this manner. <br />
