Policy No.13 Bid Protest.pdf

The document outlines the Bid Protest Policy of the City of North Miami Beach. It specifies the procedures for handling bid protests related to purchases exceeding $25,000. The policy requires vendors to submit a bond of 1% or $5,000 when filing a protest. The process involves notifying all bidders of the intent to award or reject, reviewing protests administratively, and allowing firms to appeal decisions to the City Manager. If the City Manager upholds the protest, the bond is refundable; otherwise, it covers a portion of the city's expenses. The document aims to streamline the protest process, provide clarity to vendors, and prevent unnecessary delays in award decisions.
