Summary of Award Recommendation Notice
This is an Award Recommendation Notice of Intent to Award issued by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources for RFP 20-2065 concerning DNR Law Enforcement Flotation and Hypothermia Gear. The solicitation sought a contractor to provide flotation and hypothermia gear including HIT inflatable Personal Flotation Devices, four-pocket flotation vests in standard and extended sizes, classic flotation bomber jackets with reflective tape in standard and extended sizes, anti-exposure coveralls and worksuits in standard and extended sizes, catalyst flotation jackets in standard and extended sizes, and HIT inflatable compact tactical life preservers. The RFP was posted on SIGMA VSS on July 31, 2020, with a due date of August 14, 2020. Two bidders submitted proposals: Global Equipment Company, Inc. from Port Washington, New York (non-Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business) and Patriot Solutions, LLC from Grand Rapids, Michigan (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business). The contract term is three years with up to two one-year renewal options.
The evaluation was conducted on a pass/fail basis with contract award to the lowest-priced responsible and responsive bidder. Global Equipment Company, Inc. received a fail rating due to providing non-hydrostatic inflatable personal flotation devices for the two highest-use items, failing to meet mandatory specifications. Patriot Solutions, LLC received a pass rating on all requirements and was recommended for award at the total price of $218,381.63, which includes F.O.B. Destination pricing for all deliverables. Pricing includes delivery to the State, with items 8 through 11 priced at $0.00 as the DNR no longer requires these items. The evaluation panel consisted of the Solicitation Manager, DNR Law Enforcement Division Support Services Supervisor, DNR Law Enforcement Division Assistant Chief, and the LED Uniform Committee Chair.
