Gwinnett County Public Schools Suwanee, Georgia BID PROTEST PROCEDURE This bid protest procedure applies to challenges to the awarding of bids or contracts by the Purchasing department of the Gwinnett County Public Schools. If the protesting party does not submit a bid or proposal the protest must be submitted prior to the date of the bid opening, or prior to the date on which the RFP proposal or quote is due to be received by the Board. Any protests received after those dates will not be reviewed and considered and will be dismissed as untimely. For those protestors who did submit a bid or RFP response, their protests must be filed within seven days after the protesting party knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the protest. However, no protest will be accepted that is filed more than seven days after the date the notice of award of the contract is posted on the Purchasing Department of the Gwinnett County Public Schools website. Untimely protests will be dismissed. The date of filing is the date the protest is received by the Purchasing Department. A protest must be in writing and must be sent to Gwinnett County Public Schools, Purchasing Department, 437 Old Peachtree Road, NW, Suwanee, Georgia 30024 Attn: Director of Purchasing. Each protest must specify the reasons the protesting party believes that the solicitation or award was improper. Issues not raised in the written protest are deemed waived and may not be raised on appeal. The protesting party may submit with the protest any documents or information deemed relevant. If the contract has been awarded, the Purchasing Department shall notify the successful bidder or contractor of the protest. If the protest is received before the contract is awarded and substantial issues are raised by the protest, all bidders and offerors who appear to have a substantial and reasonable prospect of winning the award shall be notified of the protest and the reasons for the protest and they may file their position on the issues with the Purchasing Department, in writing, within five days after receipt of notice of the protest. Upon the filing of a protest, further action on the solicitation or award shall be stayed, or if the protest is timely received after the award, performance of the contract should be suspended until the protest is resolved. The Purchasing department may, however, determine that the protest is clearly without merit or that award of the contract without delay is necessary to protect the substantial interests of the Board. In such case, if the Director of Purchasing determines that the protest is clearly without merit or will substantially harm the Board and does not stay the procurement, he shall immediately issue the decision. Gwinnett County Public Schools Suwanee, Georgia Within 15 days of the receipt of a protest, the Purchasing Department will issue a response. The response may include any documents or information that the contracting officer or Director of Purchasing deems relevant to the protest. If additional time is required to investigate the protest, he shall inform the protesting party of the additional time needed to render a determination and obtain the protesting party's consent. Unless an extension of time has been agreed to, the Director of Purchasing shall issue a final written determination stating the reasons for the decision within 60 days of the date the protest was filed. The Purchasing Department shall send a copy of the decision to the protesting party and any other person determined to be affected by the decision. If the protest is denied, the decision shall inform the protesting party of its right to file an appeal. The appeal will need to be sent to Gwinnett County Public Schools, Business and Finance Division, 437 Old Peachtree Road, NW, Suwanee, Georgia 30024 Attn: Chief Financial Officer, and received within 15 days of the mailing date of the decision.
