Explanation
BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Riot Control Munitions for the Division of Police, the largest user. 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 advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA001747). Forty (MAJ: 39, MBE: 0; FBE: 1) bids were solicited; five (MAJ: 5) bids were received. Two bids were deemed non-responsive because they did not return the complete bid package. Lower bids on items 2, 3 and 5 were rejected for not meeting specifications.
The Purchasing Office is recommending award of two contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders:
Standard Low Enforcement Supply Co., MAJ, CC#34-1056475, Estimated Annual Expenditure: $28,640.00
Vance Outdoors, Inc., MAJ, CC#54-2072038, Estimated Annual Expenditure: $31,040.00
These companies are 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.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing Contract Account. All City agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
