The document outlines a local business preference policy in the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It defines different classes of businesses based on location and staffing criteria. Class A, B, and C businesses have specific requirements regarding location and employee residency within the city limits. Businesses with outstanding issues with the city or operating from certain addresses may not qualify for higher classes initially but can receive conditional classification. The policy provides preferences for local vendors in excess of $50,000 in Request for Proposals, with Class A receiving a 10% preference, Class B a 7.5% preference, and Class C a 5% preference. There are exceptions where the local preference may not apply, such as proposals exceeding budgeted costs, state or federal law restrictions, emergency purchases, or if the city's purchasing manager deems a business unqualified.
