GIFTS AND FAVORS
As public purchasing officials, we are required to maintain high
standards of ethics and conduct and maintain complete independence and
impartiality in dealing with vendors, both in fact and appearance.
Hernando County endeavors to retain the goodwill of all vendors by
dealing fairly and ethically with them at all times. In order to
preserve the integrity of the competitive process and to ensure there is
public confidence that purchases are awarded equitably and economically,
Hernando County respectively requests that vendors refrain from offering
any gift, favors or gratuities to the staff of the Purchasing and
Contracts Department or other County representative.
COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES
Vendor complaints or grievances should be submitted in writing to the
Purchasing and Contracts Director. The director will investigate the
validity of the complaint and present the findings to the vendor.
FAIR AND OPEN COMPETITION
Hernando County promotes fair and open competition and strives to ensure
that such practices exist in all procurement activities. Every effort is
made to ensure that specifications are designed for compatibility with
standard trade practices. Potential bidders are encouraged to advise the
Purchasing and Contracts Director if they feel any language and/or
requirement of a specification restricts or limits competition.
Purchases are awarded to the lowest, most responsible, responsive
vendor. Responsible means the vendor has the capability, integrity and
reliability to perform the requirements of the solicitation. Responsive
means the vendor has submitted a quotation/bid which conforms in all
material respects to the request including meeting or exceeding product
quality.
