BEST BID EVALUATION AND AWARD

Under Local Gov’t.

Local Gov’t. Code § 262.027(a)(1) directs commissioners court to award a contract to the responsible bidder who submits the “lowest and best bid”.

Harris County anticipates awarding to a single to provide the described goods and/or services. Therefore, Harris County reserves the right to award by item, category, overall, or as best serves the County’s interest.

Award will be made to the lowest or best bid as determined by the overall evaluation. “Best bid” shall be interpreted as that which best supports the overall needs of the project and end users in consideration of all associated direct and indirect factors which impact cost and performance to include but not limited to:

• Price.

• Ability, capacity and skill of the vendor to perform contract requirements.

• Time constraints, vendor availability.

• Perform within the time specified, without undue delay or interference.

• Quality of performance with demonstrated ability to perform the work in a satisfactory and timely manner.

• Bidders who routinely demonstrate deficiencies in providing satisfactory performance during a contract period prior to the issuance of this solicitation, may be rejected.

BACKGROUND

HCSO improves the safety in the Greater Houston area through proactive, technology-driven and community focused initiatives. Harris County is the third largest county and as such requires access to various types of equipment and supplies to support the Sheriff’s Office crime scene investigation teams operations.

It is the intent of Harris County to award multiple vendors thereby creating a pool of vendors to provide all or a subset of described goods and/or services on as needed basis throughout the contract period.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Vendor may offer for sale additional items related to the scope of goods and/or services described herein and/or listed on the BidTable. Though the related items offered may be considered during the award recommendation, and/or may be made a part of a subsequent contract, if any, with Harris County, the affect of the related items cannot be extended and totaled in determining the lowest bidder since an estimated usage is unknown.

Purchases by Harris County of related items should not exceed 20% of the total annual purchases under the contract.

Parts (Per Manufacturer)

Vendor shall provide all repair parts as needed. For bidding purposes, the “Estimated Annual Expenditure” column on the Discount to MSLP (BT-03RU) BidTable(s) within Bonfire represents Harris County’s historical dollar amount of purchases of parts with the manufacturer for one (1) year. All charges related to parts shall be based on dealer’s cost plus a percentage to the then-current manufacturer’s price schedule and each vendor shall indicate under the “Cost Plus Percentage” of the Parts Pricing BidTable(s) within Bonfire, a percentage for the price schedule listed. For example, if $10,000 is the “Estimated Annual Expenditure”

(annual dollar expenditure by Harris County) and a 10% premium applies, the percentage entered would be 110% and the “Total Cost” would be $11,000.

The rates quoted on the BidTable must be all-inclusive. “All-inclusive” shall be constructed as costs incorporating all charges for labor, material, equipment, testing and any other cost incurred. No separate line item rates or charges will be accepted. Vendor(s) shall submit its all-inclusive pricing using the listed BidTable(s).

Failure to submit all required information may result in the bid being considered non-responsive.

Quantities are estimated; Harris County may require more or less. In case of discrepancy between unit pricing and total pricing, unit pricing governs. Harris County may award by total, by group, by item, or as best serves the County. Pricing must be all-inclusive. Harris County will not allow for any other rates or charges.

Firm Pricing

Bid prices shall remain firm for the contract period and all renewals unless otherwise specified in the ITB.

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS AND COST INCREASES

During the term of the contract, only industry-wide changes in price, reflected by documentation from supplying manufacturer/mill(s) will be approved.

• Be submitted in writing;

• Include detailed justification and supporting documentation; and

• Be subject to review and written approval by Harris County.
