Explanation
BACKGROUND: For the option to establish a UTC contract to purchase Flow Monitoring Parts and Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, the sole user. The term of the proposed option contract would be two (2) years, expiring December 31, 2011, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on July 16, 2009.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA003296). Thirty-five (35) bids were solicited: (M1A-0, F1-1, MBR-0). One bid was received.
