Definitions Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser or reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with RFP 9055 Operation Services Generator Project Page 8 of 114 competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known as “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally accepted definition for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its profitability and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.” B. Reference Evaluation Criteria Prior to award, the Project Manager will check references using the following criteria. Negative responses from references may impact the award determination. CRITERIA STANDARD QUESTIONS Overall Performance Would you hire this Vendor again? Did they show the skills required by this project? Timetable Was the original Scope of Work completed within the specified time? Were interim deadlines met in a timely manner? Completeness Was the Vendor responsive to client needs; did the Vendor anticipate problems? Were problems solved quickly and effectively? Budget Was the original Scope of Work completed within the project budget? Job Knowledge If a study, did it meet the Scope of Work?

Only prime contractors will receive a Contractor’s Exemption Certificate on exempt projects. Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each subcontractor involved in the project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor’s name and address and signing it. The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all Certificates that the prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime contractor’s place of business for a minimum of three years and be available for inspection in the event of an audit. Once an 89# has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any applications submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For instance, if you were assigned 89-12345-0001, every application submitted thereafter should contain 89- 12345 on the application. The succeeding numbers will be issued by the Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you believe to be the next in sequence as this may delay processing of your application.
