This document provides information about a charitable contribution preference for bidders in the City of Tallahassee. According to Section 2-92 of the City Code, bidders can qualify for a preference based on their contributions to health and human services agencies. These agencies must be qualified by the United Partners for Human Services or be associated with the United Way of the Big Bend.
To qualify for the preference, the contributions must have been made within the twelve-month period prior to the bid submission deadline. The receiving agency must certify the contributions using a form provided by the City. Bidders are required to provide copies of all applicable contribution letters with their bids.
The document also outlines different bid levels and the corresponding donation values. For each bid level, there is a specific donation value that qualifies for a bid preference and additional bonus points in the Request for Proposal (RFP) evaluation. The bid preference percentages range from 1% to 5%, and the RFP bonus points range from 1 to 5.
The bid levels are categorized based on the donation value ranges, starting from $10,000 to over $500,000. The higher the donation value, the higher the bid preference percentage and RFP bonus points. For example, a donation value of $10,000 to $25,000 qualifies for a bid preference of 5% and 5 RFP bonus points, while a donation value over $500,000 qualifies for a bid preference of 2% and 5 RFP bonus points.
Overall, the document provides guidelines and criteria for bidders to qualify for a charitable contribution preference in the City of Tallahassee.
