12/27/2013 PPB Rule 2-09 sets forth the requirements for the Recommendation for Award prepared by the agency’s contracting officer. In light of recent amendments to PPB Rules, 9 RCNY §§ 3-02 and 3-03, which give agencies the option to award goods and standard services based on best value to the City instead of lowest bidder, the amendment to Rule 2-09 adds the requirement that the Recommendation for Award set forth the criteria used in determining best value if an award is made to a bidder whose bid represents the best value to the City. 12/27/2013 Rule 3-05 is also being amended to provide that, for all procurements subject to Rule 3-05, the Agency Chief Contracting Officer (“ACCO”) must provide a description of the process used to determine that only one source was available; a description of the efforts made to ensure that offers were solicited from other sources; where applicable, a statement of intended actions to develop competition in the future; and must perform a presolicitation review. Previously, some of these requirements only applied to procurements above specified monetary thresholds
