Explanation
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Tech Service Solutions LLC for the purchase of a 4” Automatic Backwash Strainer for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The Automatic Backwash Strainer will be used at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant to filter flushing water. This will allow the plant to use more flushing water in the process equipment which will reduce the usage of potable water.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the relevant provisions of City Code Chapter 329 relating to competitive bidding (RFQ025513). Thirty-seven (37) vendors (1 EBE/VBE, 1 EBE/WBE, 32 MAJ, 2 MBE, 1 WBE) were solicited and two (2) majority bids were received on August 17, 2023
After a review of the bids, the lowest bidder is not able to hold their pricing for the required 180 days, therefore, they have been deemed non-responsive.
Therefore, the Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommends the award be made for all items to Tech Service Solutions LLC as the most responsive, responsible and best bidder.
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.
