About this file

This is a Bid Tabulation Template and Administrative Review document for a Request for Quote issued by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, State Parks Division, for the procurement of a Tow Tractor for Wormsloe State Park. The solicitation number is DNR0000710, with Carlethia Jones serving as the Issuing Officer. This is a one-time buy to establish a contract with a single qualified supplier meeting the specified requirements. The evaluation process follows a three-phase approach: administrative review to verify compliance with basic requirements such as timely submission and mandatory requirements, a second phase to verify business registration and product equivalency, and a final cost evaluation to identify the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The administrative review reveals that only one bid was received from 1821 Enterprises LLC, which failed the administrative review phase due to the bid model not meeting specifications as described in Mandatory Questions 1 and 10, and the absence of an eVerify reference number, resulting in an overall FAIL determination.

The document indicates that 1821 Enterprises LLC, despite passing the second phase evaluation and verification that the company is not suspended or debarred, was ultimately determined to be non-responsive and therefore ineligible for contract award. No cost evaluation was conducted as a result of the administrative failure. The bid tabulation template provided in this document serves as the formal recording of all bids received and the evaluation results, which must be published with the Notice of Intent to Award or Notice of Award to satisfy public inspection requirements. The template was issued on February 1, 2021, and allows for the potential use of price preferences such as the Georgia Enterprises for Products and Services (GEPS) eight percent preference and price match options for Georgia-based small businesses, though these were not applicable in this instance.

*Unless SPD grants a written exception, all state entities are required to conduct competitive sealed bidding through approved sourcing tools such as Team Georgia Marketplace™ and eSource/Jaggaer. These systems will not allow a supplier to submit a bid/proposal once the solicitation closing date/time has passed.

**By submitting a response via Team Georgia Marketplace™ or eSource/Jaggaer, suppliers automatically agree to the certificate of non-collusion and must also certify that they are not a scrutinized company. If conducting through another sourcing tool with SPD approval, the issuing officer may use form SPD-SP012 Certificate of Non-Collusion to obtain the certification and SPD-SP042 Supplier General Information Worksheet.

Only applicable if a non-
