Once an award is made, a purchase order is completed and forwarded to the user department. The user department will contact the vendor to place the order. Vendors should not start work until a purchase order is received. The City of Dania Beach is not liable for work performed without a purchase order.

Competitive Solicitation
Generally, price competition is the best method of procuring goods and services. The City advocates competition to the greatest practicable degree in an effort to promote fairness and better pricing.
Formal Solicitations are required when purchases are anticipated to exceed $50,000. There are two basic types of formal solicitations:
- Invitation to Bid (ITB)
- Request for Proposal (RFP)
Both of these formal solicitations must be advertised in the local newspaper and may also be advertised in other area newspapers and professional trade journals to generate as much involvement as possible with qualified suppliers. The primary difference between these types of solicitations is the award criteria. Generally, the ITB is awarded to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder. An RFP is awarded to the responsive and responsible proposer receiving the highest overall ranking as decided by a selection committee. During the RFP evaluation process, the top ranked respondents may be asked to give a formal presentation to the committee. Additionally, the price and other terms of agreement may be negotiated with the firm receiving the highest overall ranking by the committee.
Competitive Consultants Negotiation Act (CCNA)
There is one additional type of formal solicitation that is required by Florida State Statute 287.055, known as the “Competitive Consultants Negotiation Act.” This solicitation is known as a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). This solicitation is used whenever the services of a professional engineer, architect, or surveyor are required. A RFQ is similar to a RFP with the only main difference being the RFQ does not take cost into consideration, only the qualifications of the firm.
Single/Sole Source Information
These postings are designed to advise the supplier community, and the public, that the City of Dania Beach intends to enter into a non-competitive agreement to purchase a product and/or service.
As prescribed by Florida Statutes 287.057, each posting will remain on the public list for fifteen (15) business days. Please contact Purchasing if you have any questions or need further clarification.
Insurance Requirements
The City of Dania Beach requires anyone who is performing any work on any City owned property to provide the following forms of insurance:
- General Liability
- Automobile Liability
- Workers’ Compensation
The City has established standard insurance requirements that apply to the majority of city projects/purchases. Refer to the ITB or RFP specifications for any exceptions to the standard requirements to ensure that you comply with all of the City’s insurance requirements before submitting your quote, bid or proposal.
