14-RISD Manufacturer-Discount-Coop Proposal Form.xlsx

This document is a Manufacturer-Discount-Coop Proposal Form for Richardson Independent School District (RISD) Request for Proposal #25-359, focused on soliciting manufacturer discounts and cooperative contract pricing for a district-wide furniture purchase and installation project. The proposal seeks comprehensive furniture procurement for all district campuses and departments, supporting both routine purchases and larger initiatives associated with the 2025 Bond Program. The form is designed to capture key vendor information including manufacturer discounts, cooperative contract details, pricing structures, freight considerations, and warranty information.

The proposal form requires respondents to provide detailed pricing information, including percentage discounts off list prices, freight terms, special shipping considerations, current price list dates, and existing cooperative contract details. Vendors are expected to specify their cooperative contract affiliations (such as TIPS or Omnia), contract numbers, expiration dates, and whether pricing is dealer-held, vendor-held, or manufacturer-held. This approach allows RISD to evaluate potential vendors based on competitive pricing, cooperative contract accessibility, and comprehensive service offerings for their district-wide furniture procurement needs across multiple campuses and departments.
