POLICIES:
ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY NUMBER 34
Competitive Bids and Requests for Proposals
Fresno County Administrative Policy No. 34 provides that no person,
firm or subsidiary thereof who has been awarded a consulting services
contract by the County, may submit a bid for, or be awarded a contract
for, the provision of services, procurement of goods or supplies, or any
other related action which is required, suggested, or otherwise deemed
appropriate in the end product of the consulting services contract. Any
bidder that wishes an exemption from this contract limitation must set
forth the request for exemption, as well as a complete explanation of why
the exemption should be granted, in the bidder’s response to the RFP.
Only the Board of Supervisors, on a four-fifths (4/5) vote finding that such
waiver is in the best interests of the County, can waive this policy.
Definitions: Purchasing Authority and Responsibility – In accordance
with the State of California Government Code Section 25500 et seq., and
the Fresno County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.56, the Board of
Supervisors has established a County CAO. The Board has designated
the County Administrative Officer as the CAO. Unless otherwise
restricted, all necessary authority and responsibility has been delegated
to the CAO to satisfy the acquisition requirements of the County. The
CAO may defer day-to-day acquisition management to the Purchasing
Manager as appropriate.
Policy Statement: Competitive bids or requests for proposals shall be
secured for all contracts for goods or services which are proposed to be
acquired by the County except when in unusual or extraordinary
circumstances, a department head, requests an exception to competitive
bidding. All such requests must be documented by the department head
including a detailed description of the facts justifying the exception. The
request must receive concurrence of the procurement authority who will
sign that particular contract i.e. the Board of Supervisors or
CAO/Purchasing Manager. The following circumstances are examples
which constitute “Suspension of Competition”:
In an emergency when goods or services are immediately
necessary for the preservation of the public health, welfare, or
safety, or for the protection of County property.
When the contract is with a federal, state, or local governmental
agency.
When the department head, with the concurrence of the CAO, finds
that the cost of preparing and administering a competitive bidding
process in a particular case will equal or exceed the estimated
contract amount or $1,000 whichever is more.
When a contract provides only for payment of per diem and travel
expenses and there is to be no payment for services rendered.
When obtaining the services of expert witnesses for litigation or
special counsel to assist the County.
When in unusual or extraordinary circumstances, the Board of
Supervisors or the CAO/Purchasing Manager determines that the
best interests of the County would be served by not securing
competitive bids or issuing a request for proposal.
Contracts for services should not usually cover a period of more than one
year although a longer period may be approved in unusual
circumstances. Multiple year contracts must include provisions for early
termination and must be contingent on available funding. Unless
exempted as provided for above, no contract for service shall extend,
either by original contract or by extension, beyond three years unless
competitive bids have been sought or a Request for Proposal has been
processed.
During any competitive bidding procedure, all bids shall be opened
publicly and the dollar amount of each bid shall be read aloud. Under no
circumstance shall a bid which is received at the designated place of
opening after the closing time be opened or considered.
Contracts for goods or services shall not be effective until approved by
the Board of Supervisors or, if appropriate, the CAO/Purchasing
Manager. Contractors and vendors shall be advised by the responsible
department head that performance under the contract may not
commence prior to such approval.
Medical Professional Contracts

periodic salary surveys are equivalent to competitive bids for independent

developing a contract, and monitoring the billing and services provided
throughout the contract period.

consulting services contract by the County, shall be awarded a contract
for the provision of services, procurement of goods or supplies, or any
other related action which is required, suggested, or otherwise deemed

policy may be waived by the Board of Supervisors on a four-fifths (4/5)
vote finding that such waiver is in the best interests of the County.

COUNTY OF FRESNO LOCAL VENDOR BID PREFERENCE
AND
DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE BID
PREFERENCE
The Local Vendor and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Preferences apply to this RFQ.
Whenever the CAO purchases supplies, materials and/or equipment for the County through the use of
competitive bids, the CAO, in evaluating the price or bid for such supplies, materials and/or equipment shall
determine if each bidder is a Fresno County Local Vendor (FCLV) and/or a Disabled Veteran Business
Enterprise (DVBE). Bidders that are either an FCLV or a California State Certified DVBE may be granted a
preference when determining the award of a bid. FCLV and DVBE, for the purposes of this section, are
defined below.
A.Fresno County Local Vendor (FCLV)
1.The vendor has its headquarters, distribution point or locally-owned franchise located in or having a
street address within the County for at least six (6) months immediately prior to the issuance of the
request for competitive bids by the CAO; and
2.The vendor holds any required business license by a jurisdiction located in Fresno County; and
3.The vendor employs at least one (1) full-time or two (2) part-time employees whose primary
residence is located within Fresno County, or if the business has no employees, shall be at least
fifty percent (50%) owned by one or more persons whose primary residence(s) is located within
Fresno County.
B.Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE)
A vendor must be certified by the State of California as a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) as
of the close of the competitive bid process in which they are participating. State certification as a DVBE is
issued by the California Department of General Services.
Other Conditions
1.Any vendor claiming to be a FCLV as defined above, or a DVBE shall so certify in writing to the CAO.
The CAO shall not be required to verify the accuracy of any such certifications, and shall have sole
discretion to determine if a vendor meets the definition of a FCLV.
2.Any person or business falsely claiming to be a FCLV or DVBE under this section shall be ineligible to
transact any business with the County for a period of not less than three (3) months and not more
twenty-four (24) months as determined at the sole discretion of the CAO. The CAO shall also have the
right to terminate all or any part of any contract entered into with such person or business.
3.In the event that the CAO rejects a vendor’s claim that they are a FCLV and/or a DVBE, and as such
declares them to be ineligible, such vendor shall be entitled to a public hearing before the Board of
Supervisors and a five (5) day notice of the time and place thereof.
4.This section shall not apply to contracts required by state or federal statutes or regulati ons to be awarded
to the lowest responsible bidder or otherwise exempted from local preference.
Preferences
FCLVs and DVBEs that submit a bid within five percent (5%) of the lowest responsive and responsible bid
will, under certain specified circumstances, qualify to submit a new bid within two County business days of
County’s notification. Such new bids must be in an amount less than or equal to the lowest responsive and
responsible bid previously determined by the CAO. If the CAO receives new bids from qualifying FCLVs
and/or DVBEs, he shall award the contract to the FCLV or DVBE that submits the lowest responsive and
responsible bid. If no new bids are received, the contract shall be awarded to the original low bidder as
announced by the CAO. The lowest responsive and responsible bid shall be solely determined by the CAO.

VELOCITY ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM\17-050 IDENTIV-HIRSCH VELOCITY ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM.DOC
The CAO will consider the following four categories of bidder relative to the Fresno County Local Vendor
Preference and the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Preference.
Vendor Preference Categories
1)FCLV – Fresno County Local Vendor as defined above.
2)DVBE – Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise as defined above; a DVBE is not also a FCLV unless
specifically designated as such.
3)FCLV & DVBE – A vendor that is both a Fresno County Local Vendor and Disabled Veteran
Business Enterprise as defined above.
4)VNP – Vendor No Preference; A vendor that is neither a Fresno County Local Vendor nor a Disabled
Veteran Business Enterprise.
The following table identifies the various combinations of vendor preference categories that could be
received in response to an RFQ. It also indicates when a vendor qualifies for a re-bid under either the FCLV
or DVBE Preference.
The first column of the table identifies the Vendor Preference Category of the bid der that the CAO has
determined to be the lowest cost, responsive and responsible bidder. Each vendor preference category is
shown in the columns to the right. The table indicates when a vendor category qualifies for a re-bid relative
to the low bid category in the first column (read left to right).

Applying the Preferences
In determining the award of a Request for Quotation (RFQ), the CAO will first identify the lowest cost
responsive and responsible bidder, and award will be made to that vendor when such vendor is both a FCLV
and a DVBE.
If the lowest such bidder is not an FCLV, it will be determined if the Local Vendor Preference and/or the
DVBE Preference are applicable to other bidders . The preferences will then apply to bids submitted by
FCLVs and DVBEs that are within 5% of the designated low b id. The vendors submitting bids that are within
the 5% will be granted an opportunity to submit a new bid. It must be stressed that in the event of a tie
between a FCLV and a DVBE that is not a FCLV, the FCLV shall take precedence in award of the contrac t.
This condition is necessary to remain consistent with Fresno County Charter Section 12 (h), which
specifically calls for a preference to local vendors.
When the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is a FCLV, other bidders who are both FCLVs and
DVBEs will have the opportunity to re-bid.
When the lowest responsive and responsible bid is from a non-local DVBE, all FCLVs will be offered a re-bid
opportunity.
