Miami-Dade County
SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO REDUCE INEFFICIENCIES IN PROCUREMENT
This legislative item, an ordinance, is in committee and proposes significant changes to Miami-Dade County's procurement processes based on recommendations from a Special Task Force. Key changes include amending the 'Cone of Silence' to allow closed recorded oral presentations, establishing new requirements for competitive selection committee appointments, composition, scoring, training, and conflict checks. It also creates a 'Large Local Employer' category for professional services acquisitions, modifies committee sizes based on contract value (3 members for under $20M, 5 members for $20M or more), eliminates the practice of dropping the lowest score in architectural and engineering procurements, and restricts technology use during oral presentations for contracts under $5 million. An AI-driven system will be implemented for selection committee candidate identification and tracking, and self-guided training modules will replace workshops. The ordinance also mandates standardized instructions for committee members to articulate scoring rationale and presentation advancement bases. Public comment is not stated in this document.

SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO REDUCE INEFFICIENCIES IN PROCUREMENT
Miami-Dade County is amending its procurement code to implement recommendations from the Special Task Force to Reduce Inefficiencies in Procurement. Key changes include standardizing Small Business Enterprise (SBE) utilization percentages for architecture and engineering task-based contracts at 10% and defined-scope contracts at 15%, eliminating redundant advisory boards, and introducing an automatic SBE set-aside for Invitations to Quote under $250,000 when a certified small business bid is within 10% of the lowest non-SBE bid. The ordinance also modifies local business preference policies, clarifies verification of Local Business Preference eligibility, and mandates audits for local preference claims. It introduces stricter criteria for Locally Headquartered Business status and allows special purpose entities created by local businesses to receive Local Preference. Remedies for non-compliance with SBE utilization plans will now be available during active contract performance, not just for future contracts. The ordinance amends sections related to the Small Business Architecture and Engineering Program, Small Business Enterprise Services Program, and Small Business Enterprise Goods Program.
