The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) received two (2) proposals for RFP 15-022B Disparity Study Consultation Services. Awardee will conduct a comprehensive, legally-defensible Disparity Study for SBBC of its procurement practices, through statistical analysis, of contracting expenditures (construction, professional services, and goods and services), and evaluation of economic and sociologic studies of the marketplace applicable to Broward County, Florida, to determine whether a disparity exists in the award of procurement contracts to minority and women-owned business enterprises.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The estimated financial impact will be $250,000. Funding for this study will come from the department?s operating budget. Recommended Awardee originally offered a cost of $250,000 to conduct and provide the Disparity Study, and a cost of $375 per hour to provide expert witnesses, if necessary. Through negotiations, the cost of the study was reduced from $250,000 to $247,000, and if an expert witness is necessary to provide testimony, the cost to the District will be $250 per hour. The financial impact amount represents an estimated contract value; however, the amount authorized will not exceed the estimated value.
