Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Clarktel Telecommunications for the purchase of a NEC Phone System Upgrade including installation and training for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This unit will be used by our Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant to upgrade the existing NEC NEAX2000 PBX's and Voicemail System with a NEC SV8300 and UM8000 Voicemail.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation SA005232). Seventy (75) vendors (67 MAJ, 4MBR, 3M1A and 1HL1) were solicited and three (3) bids (2 MAJ and 1MBR) were received and opened on April 24, 2014.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is recommending an award be made to Clarktel Telecommunications as the lowest responsive, responsible, and best bidder for Items 1 through 24, 29 and 30. The total award will be for $35,629.43. Items 25 through 28 will not be awarded due to a technical error. On those items, the company had incorrect pricing therefore it was decided to not award these items at this time and to informally solicit bids as needed.
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.
