Good morning, Arie,
I'd like to confirm you are seeking public records from the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (in Vero Beach) and not the Clerk of St. Lucie County as the email below somewhat indicates. If you are seeking records for Indian River County Clerk of Court (a separate constitutional officer IRCounty) I can forward this email to them. Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
I am not sure. Do you know which organization in the county is responsible for procurement? That agency should be the recipient of this request.
Thanks

Good afternoon,
The responses below are in reference to the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners:
1. The only agreement I am aware of (Ionwave/BidExpress is attached).
a. Our solicitations are published online at the Demandstar and Vendor Registry web sites.
b. There is no cost to the County to post solicitations to either of those sites.
c. We do not have a formal contract with either web site, but have been using Demandstar for at least 10 years, and Vendor Registry for 18 months.
d. We do not use an ERP system to manage solicitation evaluation.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly, should you have any additional questions about procurement, RFPs, RFQs and bids.
