About this file

This is an Award Letter and Synopsis from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Central Procurement Office recommending award of Request for Proposal 190000000873 for the procurement of balsa wood supplies for the MDOT Superior Region Office. The solicitation requested 2,000 bundles of balsa wood, with each bundle containing 50 pieces measuring 1/8" x 1/8" x 36". The RFP was posted on SIGMA VSS on January 24, 2019, for a 12-day period, with proposals due by February 4, 2019. Delivery of the materials was required to be completed on or before March 15, 2019. Two vendors submitted proposals by the published deadline.

The evaluation determined that award should be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price. Pitsco, Inc., of Pittsburg, Kansas, submitted the lowest bid at $28,580.00, compared to E2 Enterprises, LLC, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, which bid $31,525.31. E2 Enterprises was identified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) and would have qualified for a 10% preference, which would have adjusted their bid to $31,438.00; however, this adjustment still exceeded Pitsco's base bid. Award was recommended to Pitsco, Inc., pending State Administrative Board approval if applicable. Bidders not recommended for award were offered the opportunity to schedule debriefing sessions with the Solicitation Manager, Mark Morrison.
