Contracting Opportunities
Opportunities for small business participation on Miami-Dade County Architectural & Engineering projects have been expanded through the use of Small Community Business Enterprise - A&E measures.
The Equitable Distribution Program and Small Business Enterprise - A&E programs were designed to provide contracting opportunities to small-and-medium size architectural and engineering firms. Additionally, the A&E selection process was streamlined into a one-step, pre-qualification.
Miami-Dade County Ordinance No. 98-30 requires all firms, including A&E firms with annual gross revenues in excess of $5 million must have an affirmative action plan and procurement policies filed and approved by the County as a condition of contract award. Also, resolution R-1040-93 requires all A&E firms must provide information in their proposal to proceed as well as comply with their approved affirmative action plan, when responding to the County's advertisement for the acquisition of A&E services.
