Explanation:
Request for Bid #GS0405-1 was issued for equipment to outfit the new Fire
Truck. Bids were mailed to nine (9) vendors, netting four (4) responses, two of
which were 'no bid'. Bids were opened and read publicly on October 29, 2004
with no vendors present for the opening.
The bid specifications stated that vendors were to bid the products specified,
and that no substitutes would be accepted due to product compatibility,
maintenance and training issues. Of the two viable bids received, both vendors
proposed 'alternate products' on several of the items.
As stated in the bid document, the award could be made to the overall low
bidder, or split amongst the bidders. Splitting the award, allowed the award of
products that met the specifications, and also saved the City money.
Total bid received from LN Curtis: $18,438.00
Total bid received from KME Fire: $18,926.51
Total award made possible by splitting the award between the two: $16,923.97
Of the 71 items on the bid, ten (10) items will not be awarded since none of them
met the required specifications. These items will be re -bid at a later date. The
value of these items is estimated to be under $1000.00. Even after the award of
these miscellaneous items, the total award will be less than awarding to the
overall low bidder.
Recommended award:
LN Curtis: 49 items, at $11,406.77
KME Fire: 12 items, at $5,517.20
Total: 61 items, at $16,923.97
