Summary Description

2-08; 3-08 VENDEX

7/01/2010

Provides for an administrative fee to be charged to prime vendors and subcontractors for vendor name checks to defray the cost of the City’s VENDEX system and the Vendor Name Check process. Conforms the rule to the performance bond language by allowing an agency to enter into a completion contract after default of a contractor when a surety elects to tender payment of a penal sum, as well as when the surety fails to perform its obligations under the bond. Provides definitions for standard services”, “human services”, and “professional services”. These definitions are needed in light of changes to the State law that allow the City to award contracts on the basis of the Best Value (Best Value Law). The definition for “multi-step sealed bidding” is also deleted because due to the Best Value Law, this process has been repealed. Allows agencies to waive findings of non-responsiveness and award a contract to an otherwise non- responsive bidder as long as the agency concludes that such a waiver would not deprive the agency of the assurance that the contract will be performed according to its specified requirements and would not adversely affect the competition. Requires a public hearing where contracts are to be awarded by competitive sealed bidding on the basis of best value to the City.
