The document provides information about the preference given to local and small businesses in the procurement of contracts for supplies, materials, equipment, and services by the City of San JosÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂé. The preference is determined based on whether the vendor qualifies as a Local Business Enterprise (LBE) or Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and whether price is the determinative factor in the selection process.
To qualify as an LBE, a vendor must have a current San JosÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂé Business Tax Certificate License and have an office in Santa Clara County with at least one employee. If a vendor qualifies as an LBE, they may also qualify as an SBE if their total number of employees is 35 or fewer.
The preference can be applied in two ways:
1) In solicitations where price is the determinative factor, the preference is in the form of a credit applied to the dollar value of the response submitted.
2) In solicitations where multiple factors are evaluated, a qualified LBE will be given 5% and a qualified SBE will be given an additional 5% of the total points in the scoring.
The document also includes information about the Environmentally Preferable Procurement (EPP) program adopted by the City of San JosÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂé. The EPP program encourages the procurement of products and services that minimize the environmental impact and consider factors such as durability, energy and water efficiency, recycled content, reduction of toxicity and waste, and use of renewable resources. The document includes a form for vendors to provide information about the environmental attributes of their products or services.
Additionally, the document includes the standard terms and conditions for purchase orders issued by the City of San JosÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂé. These terms and conditions include definitions, data and facilities requirements, and instructions for packing and shipping. For shipments with multiple destinations, the document specifies that they should be shipped as directed by the buyer. The document also mentions the need for packing lists to be included with shipments to avoid any issues or delays.
