Within thirty (30) calendar days following award of the contract, the successful bidder
shall submit plans addressing each of the State's five (5) objectives listed below, to the
extent applicable to the items/services covered by this solicitation.
1) One Florida Initiative: Florida is a state rich in its diversity. Governor Bush's One
Florida Initiative is dedicated to fostering the continued development and economic growth
of small and minority and women-owned businesses. Central to this initiative is the
participation of a diverse group of vendors doing business with the state.
To this end, it is vital that minority and women-owned business enterprises participate in
the State's procurement process as both prime contractors and subcontractors under prime
contracts. Small and minority and women-owned businesses are strongly encouraged to
submit replies to this solicitation.
To track the success of the One Florida Initiative, which has achieved substantial gains in
extending opportunity to minority- and women-owned businesses, the State of Florida
maintains data to establish benchmarks from which to measure supplier diversity in State
contracting. Vendors who contract with the state are obligated to provide information
related to the use of minority- and women-owned businesses and subcontractors.
The Contractor shall submit documentation addressing the Governor's One Florida
Initiative and describing the efforts being made to encourage the participation of small and
minority and women-owned businesses. Please refer to the Governor's "Equity in
Contracting Plan" when preparing this documentation:

ontractina html
Carpet& Flooring Materials ITB 28-360-240-F-Re-Bid Page 15 of 37
Complete Solicitation
Equity in Contracting documentation should identify any participation by diverse
contractors and suppliers as prime contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, resellers,
distributors, or such other participation as the parties may agree. Equity in Contracting
documentation shall include the timely reporting of spending with certified and other
minority business enterprises. Such reports must be submitted at least quarterly and
include the period covered, the name, minority code and Federal Employer Identification
Number of each minority vendor utilized during the period, commodities and services
provided by the minority business enterprise, and the amount paid to each minority vendor
on behalf of each purchasing agency ordering under the terms of this contract.
2) Environmental Considerations: The State supports and encourages initiatives to
protect and preserve our environment. The Contractor shall submit as part of any
proposal the Contractor's plan to support the procurement of products and materials with
recycled content, and the intent of Section 287.045, Florida Statutes. The Contractor
shall also provide a plan for reducing and or handling of any hazardous waste
generated by Respondent company. Reference Rule 62-730.160, Florida Administrative
Code. It is a requirement of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that a
generator of hazardous waste materials that exceeds a certain threshold must have a valid
and current Hazardous Waste Generator Identification Number. This identification number
shall be submitted as part of Respondent's explanation of its company's hazardous waste
plan and shall explain in detail its handling and disposal of this waste.
3) Certification of Drug-Free Workplace Program: The State supports and encourages
initiatives to keep the workplaces of Florida's suppliers and contractors drug free. Section
287.087 of the Florida Statutes provides that, where identical tie proposals are received,
preference shall be given to a proposal received from a Respondent that certifies it has
implemented a drug-free workforce program. If applicable, Respondent shall certify that
the Respondent has a drug-free workplace program. The Contractor shall describe how it
will address the implementation of a drug free workplace in offering the items of bid.
4)Products Available from the Blind or Other Handicapped (RESPECT):
The State supports and encourages the gainful employment of citizens with disabilities. It
