Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract and issue a purchase order as needed with Victor Stanley, Inc., in order to purchase twenty Metal Street Litter Receptacles, for the Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection. This purchase will assist the Division with replacing 20 existing litter receptacles along City streets in downtown, and the Short North.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited a competitive bid in accordance with City Code Section 329.06 (RFQ019112) through Vendor Services. The City received three bids that were received and opened on July 2, 2021, as follows:
Company Name Bid Amount City/State Majority/MBE/FBE
Victor Stanley, Inc. $22,120.00 Dunkirk, MD Majority
Grainger $14,840.00 Palantine, IL Majority
Holzberg Communications, Inc. $21,339.60 Totowa, NJ Majority
The award is to be made to Victor Stanley, Inc., as the responsible and best bidder for all lines of its bid of $22,120.00. The Purchasing Department approved the award to Victor Stanley Inc. because Grainger and Holzberg Communications did not meet the required specifications for the receptacle, or could not provide the receptacle due to supply chain constraints. Grainger removed themselves from consideration due to supply chain constraints, and Holzberg submitted a bid that did not include a side opening door, and were therefore unresponsive.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Victor Stanley, Inc.
