Further,the non-Federal'"\'°`''e`-- ', <br /> entity awarding such a contract must assert a high degree of oversight in order to obtain reasonable <br /> assurance that the contractor is using efficient methods and effective cost controls. <br /> (k)The non-Federal entity alone must be responsible, in accordance with good administrative practice <br /> and sound business judgment,for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out <br /> of procurements.These issues include, but are not limited to, source evaluation, protests, disputes,and <br /> claims.These standards do not relieve the non-Federal entity of any contractual responsibilities under <br /> its contracts.The Federal awarding agency will not substitute its judgment for that of the non-Federal <br /> entity unless the matter is primarily a Federal concern. Violations of law will be referred to the local, <br /> state, or Federal authority having proper jurisdiction. <br /> [78 FR 78608, Dec. 26, 2013, as amended at 79 FR 75885, Dec. 19, 2014; 80 FR 43309,July 22, 2015] <br /> §200.319 Competition. <br /> (a)All procurement transactions must be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition <br /> consistent with the standards of this section. In order to ensure objective contractor performance and <br /> eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, <br /> statements of work, or invitations for bids or requests for proposals must be excluded from competing <br /> for such procurements. Some of the situations considered to be restrictive of competition include but <br /> are not limited to: <br /> (1) Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them touali <br /> q fy to do business; <br /> (2) Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding; <br /> (3) Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between affiliated companies; <br /> (4) Noncompetitive contracts to consultants that are on retainer contracts; <br /> (5)Organizational conflicts of interest; <br /> (6) Specifying only a "brand name" product instead of allowing"an equal product to be offered and <br /> describing the performance or other relevant requirements of the procurement; and <br /> (7)Any arbitrary action in the procurement process. <br /> (b)The non-Federal entity must conduct procurements in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily <br /> or administratively imposed state, local,or tribal geographical preferences in the evaluation of bids or <br /> proposals, except in those cases where applicable Federal statutes expressly mandate or encourage <br /> geographic g phic p ref r <br /> e ence. Nothing in this section preempts state licensing laws. When contracting for <br /> architectural and engineering(A/E)services,geographic location may be a selection criterion provided <br /> its application leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms,given the nature and size of the project, <br /> P 1 , <br /> to compete for the contract. <br /> (c)The non-Federal entity must have written procedures for procurement transactions.These <br /> procedures must ensure that all solicitations: <br /> (1) Incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, product, <br /> or service to be procured. Such description must not, in competitive procurements, contain features <br /> which unduly restrict competition. The description may include a statement of the qualitative nature of <br /> the material, product or service to be procured and, when necessary, must set forth those minimum <br /> City of Sunny Isles Beach I RFP Bella Vista Park Dock Reconstruction 19-07-01 39 <br />
