Renewals shall be exercised only when such continuation is clearly in the best interest of the City. Should the Bidder decline the City’s right to exercise the option period, the City may consider the Bidder in default, which may affect the Bidder’s eligibility for future contracts. NOTE: IF MULTIPLE BIDDERS ARE INVOLVED UNDER THE GIVEN CONTRACT, ANY OPTIONS TO RENEW WILL BE RESTRICTED TO THE SPECIFIC ITEMS OF WORK INITIALLY AWARDED TO ANY SPECIFIC BIDDER. 2.5 METHOD OF AWARD Following the review of proposals, the lowest responsible, responsive bidder(s) meeting all terms, conditions, and specifications of the ITB shall be recommended for award either by bid item, bid group, or for the entirety of all bid items, as deemed in the best interest of the City. The City Manager may also reject all proposals received. In determining the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, and in addition to price, section 62-8 of the City Code provides that the City may consider the following:  The ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to perform the Contract.  Whether the bidder can perform the Contract within the time specified, without delay or interference.  The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience and efficiency of the bidder.  The quality of performance of previous contracts.  The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and ordinances relating to the Contract. No contract will be awarded to, any person who is in arrears to the City of Sunny Isles Beach, upon any debt or contract, or who has defaulted, as surety or otherwise, upon any obligation to any public agency, or who is deemed irresponsible or unreliable by the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, in its sole discretion. 2.6 MULTIPLE AWARD The City may award multiple Bidders (primary, secondary and tertiary) as available, by line item, by group, or in its entirety. The City will endeavor to utilize Bidders in order of award. The lowest Bidder for each group shall be considered the primary awardee and should receive the largest volume of work, upon meeting the required qualifications and acceptance to the City’s terms. However, the City may utilize other Bidders in the event that: 1) a contract Bidder is not or is unable to be in compliance with any contract or delivery requirement; 2) it is in the best interest of the City to do so regardless of reason.
