Here are some additional clarifications for the questions that were posed at the pre- bid meeting and from the proposing vendor last Wednesday. From the pre-bid meetinl!lminutes: Questions 3 and 4: According to Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management, the only companies that are given the option to dispose of debris on a cubic yard basis at their facilities are registered Landscaping companies. They indicated that companies disposing of debris or solid waste at County run facilities that are any classification other than Landscaping companies will only be allowed to dispose of debris on a tonnage basis according to the appropriate fee schedule. This is regardless if the disposal occurs during regular business operations or emergency debris disposal operations. Additional information on the fee schedule and requirements is available at: http://www . miam idade. go v Ids wm/disposal fees .asp Question 13: According to Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management, all haulers of solid waste working within the County's jurisdiction disposing of at County run facilities are required by County Code Chapter 15 to apply for and be permitted by the County. Any vendor that chooses to not register their company and their vehicles individually does so at their own risk. In an emergency situation the County will be monitoring their disposal facilities for compliance with all regulations and codes. Additional information on the hauler/vehicle registration process is available at: http://www.miamidade.gov/dswm/permitting.asp From the Vendor Questions on Wednesdav: 1) Certificates of Competencies? it is required by the RFP, but appears to only apply to products (material) used in construction. Disaster debris clearance and removal is more closely associated with a service, not products and it appears that Certificates of Competencies are not necessary. Is this accurate? The CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY is a certificate issued by the Small Business Administration (SBA) stating that the holder is responsible with respect to all elements of responsibility, including but not limited to capability, competency, capacity, credit, integrity, perseverance, and tenacity for the purpose of receiving and performing a specific Government contract. It would be acceptable for the respondent to adequately demonstrate experience, capacity, credit worthiness and that there are no material legal disputes or criminal convictions, successful past performance, and adequate references if the actual Certificate from the SBA is not available. These issues relate to services and equipment and are totally applicable to this RFP. 2) Local Business Tax (Occupational Business License) ? in one section of the RFP it appears that our Local Occupational Business License along with our registration with the Florida Secretary of State as a corporation fulfills this requirement. Is this accurate? While the "Local Occupational Business License along with our registration with the Florida Secretary of State as a corporation fulfills this requirement", Local, in this instance, shall mean Miami-Dade County and the City of Sunny Isles Beach where applicable.
