Vice Chairman Davis noted that a correlation should not be made between the <br />quality of a corporation and their ability to bid on a contract. He pointed out that it was the <br />intent of the Board on February 5, 2008 to open up the opportunity for bids to go out and <br />stimulate competition in the Enterprise Zone. <br />Administrator Baird explained that the Request for Bids put out by the County, <br />involved recycling, which also involves the transfer stations. He divulged that although Capital <br />Sanitation had been asked to submit a bid on the contract, they had not done so. He stated that <br />staff would be updating the Board on the Enterprise Zone in late August or early September <br />2008, and that staff would also research whether Treasure Coast Refuse and Waste Management <br />have been in place for thirty (30) years. He wanted to ensure that all businesses interested in <br />bidding had equal opportunities to compete for work in the Enterprise Zone, but noted that if <br />Capital Sanitation wanted to secure business in the Enterprise Zone, they would have to respond <br />to a RFQ (Request for Quote). <br />William Rigby remarked that Capital Sanitation had not responded to the bid <br />request because the County was already operating efficiently and within their budget. He also <br />pointed out that he could not afford to bid on a job of that magnitude. <br />Ardra Rigby interjected that there were 13 other companies, having more <br />resources than Capital Sanitation, who did not bid on the contracts. He reminded everyone that <br />Capital Sanitation was here today to discuss obtaining solid waste business in the Enterprise <br />Zone. <br />Chairman Bowden conveyed that staff would look at this issue and bring it <br />back for further Board consideration. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN <br />22 <br />August 12, 2008 <br />
