Negotiating Safety Every Day

Emergency responders conjure images of firefighters or police officers. Rarely do procurement contracting managers like Melissa Adames come to mind. When the time came to upgrade Miami-Dade County's two-way radio system, which allows emergency and non-emergency personnel from multiple jurisdictions to communicate, Melissa played a vital role. She's part of the team -- consisting of staff from Procurement Management, Enterprise Technology Services and the County Attorney's Office -- that helped negotiate a deal to acquire a system that meets federal post-9/11 interoperability requirements. The deal they structured saved the County $50 million, and more importantly, the communication system will save countless lives.

Vendors must have the appropriate insurance in order to be awarded a County contract. Effective January 1, 2010, for future contract awards, vendors must submit their insurance certificate(s) within 10 business days of notification by Procurement staff of a recommendation for award.  Awarded vendors are required to maintain the appropriate insurance coverage throughout the term of the contract.  Please note that this is for information only. You do not have to send in a certificate of insurance at this time.
