Explanation
BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase ISCO Monitoring Equipment, Maintenance & Parts for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The term of the proposed option contract would be from the date of execution through September 30, 2007 with the option to extend for one additional year.
The Purchasing Office solicited 31 vendors for the purchase of ISCO Monitoring Equipment, Maintenance & Parts (SA001622). Of those solicited, 1 had certified MBE status and 1 had certified FBE status. The formal bid opened May 5, 2005. There was one proposal received (MBE: 0; FBE: 0). The proposal was deemed non-responsive due to terms and conditions being submitted that are contrary to the City's standard terms and conditions. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage, the largest user, requested that SA001622 be cancelled and that Teledyne Isco, Inc., the only bidder, be considered on an informal basis and a contract established as they are the lowest responsible and best bid (SO021370).

Teledyne Isco, Inc., MAJ, CC#47-0461807
Estimated Annual Expenditure: $60,000.00
The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
