SOP - Selection Committee Guidelines.pdf

The document outlines the guidelines and procedures for the Selection Committee in the City of Palm Beach Gardens' Purchasing Department. The main objective is to ensure a fair and equitable selection process for all vendors participating in the city's competitive selection process. The Selection Committee is responsible for recommending a proposer who demonstrates the capacity to fulfill contract requirements and has the integrity for good faith performance. Each committee member must not have personal or financial interests in any vendor and must evaluate proposals independently and impartially. The document emphasizes the importance of following Florida Statutes for public meetings, maintaining confidentiality, and avoiding conflicts of interest. The evaluation process involves scoring proposals based on established criteria, conducting oral presentations if necessary, and making award recommendations based on rankings. The Chairperson oversees the committee's activities and works with the city department to process award recommendations through the City Manager and/or City Council.
