NOTIFICATION REGARDING SUBMISSION PROCESS AND REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Incorporated County of Los Alamos (“County”) has recently implemented a new on-line eProcurement portal. This new platform, Euna Procurement powered by Bonfire, provides the County’s electronic Bid and Proposal process (“County’s Procurement Portal”). It is where the County will post solicitation opportunities, including Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Information/Interest (RFI). The County’s Procurement Portal will streamline the County’s Bid process for Bid or Proposal submission, acceptance, evaluation, and award. For vendors, the County’s Procurement Portal will enhance communication, allow for fast and accurate Bids and Proposals, and provide automatic notification about projects.

Registered vendors will view and submit Bids and Proposals electronically. The past practice of submitting electronic Bids and Proposals by email or submitting paper Bids and Proposals is being phased out. If you are seeing this notification in a solicitation document, submissions will be accepted ONLY electronically through the County’s Procurement Portal for this solicitation. It is every Offeror’s responsibility to read, understand, and submit Bids and Proposals in accordance with the instructions provided in and specific to each solicitation document.

Requested Action: Please register as a vendor on the County’s Procurement Portal by visiting https://losalamosnm.bonfirehub.com and click on “Register”. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. Please be sure to select the applicable NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement (“NIGP”) Commodity Codes for your business when you are prompted so that you can receive notification of recommended opportunities when they are sent out by the County to the NIGP Commodity Codes you have selected.

Already Have a Bonfire Vendor Account? If you already have a Bonfire vendor account and are already registered for another agency’s portal, you will still need to visit the County’s Procurement Portal at https://losalamosnm.bonfirehub.com and click on “Log In” to provide County-requested information, view open opportunities, receive opportunity notifications, and submit Bids and Proposals through the County’s Procurement Portal. You will be able to manage the multiple agencies with whom you do business through the button labelled “My Supplier Hub” in your Bonfire account.

Offerors are asked to refrain from including in Proposals statements such as “more information available upon request,” “pricing to be determined,” or other similar statements. Such statements and failure of Offeror to seek clarification needed for Offeror to provide the requested information may result in an Offeror being found non-responsive or non-responsible.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to configure their own internal system settings to ensure messages from the County and the County’s Procurement Portal are safelisted. Offerors experiencing technical difficulties with the County’s Procurement Portal messaging system are expected to promptly contact the Procurement Contact listed in the solicitation for assistance. Failure to do so may result in Offerors missing important information or deadlines.

The County will hold an optional, non-mandatory pre-Proposal conference via a virtual format on the date and time noted in the Solicitation Schedule for this RFP and on the County’s Procurement Portal.

8.1. About Los Alamos County. The Incorporated County of Los Alamos is situated at the foot of the Jemez Mountains on the Pajarito Plateau with an elevation ranging from 6,200 feet to 9,200 feet. Los Alamos is an incorporated county, established under a special provision of the State constitution, giving it both county and municipal authority and powers. Two distinct communities, Los Alamos Town site and White Rock, each with its own visitor center, are home to ~19,000 people. Los Alamos is mostly known for the historic accomplishments of its largest employer, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and continues to gain notice for its vast scenic assets and recreational opportunities. Visit the Los Alamos County website (www.losalamosnm.us) and the tourism website (www.visitlosalamos.org) for more information.

8.2. Unless otherwise defined, the following terms may be used interchangeably throughout this RFP:

“Offeror,” “Contractor,” and “Vendor” “Proposal,” “Response,” and “Submittal” “Software,” “Solution,” and “System” “Project” and “Services” “RFP” and “Solicitation”

8.3. The County invites Proposals from all qualified respondents. No Proposal may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time. Proposals will not be accepted after the scheduled closing time. Please make note of the submittal requirements outlined in this solicitation. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Include the required documents stated in this RFP as part of your submittal packet. Any misinterpretation or failure to comply with the submittal requirements could result in rejection of the Proposal. Proposal preparation is at the Offeror’s expense.

8.4. Any change(s) to the solicitation will be conveyed through the written addenda process. Read carefully and follow all instructions provided on any addendum, as well as the instructions provided in the original solicitation. Offerors are expected to acknowledge receipt of addenda by submitting signed copies of addenda with the submitted Proposal.

8.5. County reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any Proposals; to waive any and all irregularities in any or all statements or Proposals; to request additional information from any or all respondents; and to award a contract to the responsible Offeror whose Proposal is most beneficial to County.

While County intends to execute a contract for the services listed herein, nothing in this document shall be interpreted as binding County to enter into a contract with any Offeror.

8.6. Proposals are Public Records. Pursuant to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978, Chapter 14, Article 2, all materials submitted under this RFP shall be presumed and considered public records. Except to the extent any information may be protected by state or federal law, Proposals shall be considered public documents and available for review and copying by the public. County declines to sign any non-disclosure agreements or confidentiality agreements submitted by potential Offerors. If an Offeror fails to submit information requested in the RFP that Offeror considers to be confidential, the County reserves the right to find any Offeror’s Proposal non-responsive or non-responsible based on the information provided in or excluded from Offeror’s response.

8.7. The County contemplates a multi-term contract as a result of this RFP. The term of the contract may be for a period of up to seven (7) years. This is the written determination of the Chief Purchasing Officer that such a contract will serve the best interests of the County by promoting economies in County procurement.

8.8. Offerors are notified that they must propose pricing for each potential year of the contract. County may consider, but is under no obligation to accept proposed cost escalators (e.g., a proposed specific dollar amount) or a cost escalator mechanism (e.g., an annual percentage escalator or use of a Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index) for future years of an agreement. Pursuant to County Ordinance, the use of a cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contract is prohibited.

8.9. Offerors are informed that State law requires that all foreign corporations (NMSA 1978 §53-17-5) and limited liability corporations (NMSA 1978 §53-19-48) procure a certificate of authority to transact business in the state prior to transacting business in the State of New Mexico.

8.10. The Chief Purchasing Officer has determined a preference is applicable to this solicitation. Offerors must submit a written request for preference, using the Request for Preference form provided through the County’s Procurement Portal, with a copy of the applicable state-issued preference certificate, with its Proposal to qualify for preference. Ref. County Code Section. 31-261(b) and Section13-1-21 NMSA 1978 et al.

9. PROPOSAL REVIEW AND EVALUATION

Proposals shall be handled so as to prevent disclosure of the identity of any Offeror or the contents of any Proposal to competing Offerors during the process of negotiation.

After the RFP has closed, Procurement Division staff prepares a register of Proposals containing the name of each Offeror, the number of modifications received, if any, and a description sufficient to identify the item offered.

The register of Proposals is open to public inspection only after contract award. Procurement Division staff releases Proposals to the Evaluation Committee. The Evaluation Committee reviews and evaluates the submittals. If interviews are conducted, they may only be for the purpose of clarification and may be used for adjusting the final score. Discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit Proposals determined to be reasonably likely to be selected for award for the purpose of clarification to ensure full understanding and conformation with solicitation requirements for the purpose of obtaining best and final offers.

For proposals that qualify for Preference, as described in the Request for Preference form provided through the County’s Procurement Portal, preference factors will be applied as applicable in accordance with the most current County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21 et al., as may be modified from time to time.

The Evaluation Committee Chairperson provides final evaluation results to the Procurement Division. Award shall be made to the responsible Offeror whose Proposal is determined in writing by the Evaluation Committee to be the most advantageous to the County, taking into consideration the evaluation criteria set forth in the solicitation.
