SPECIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

I. SCOPE OF WORK

Gwinnett County is soliciting competitive sealed bids for Commercial Moving Services on an Annual Contract for scheduled and unscheduled elections that will occur during the contract period. These services are needed to move election equipment stored at the Gwinnett County Voter Registrations & Elections Division to and from polling sites throughout the county. The dates of the elections and the specific times and dates the services are needed will be provided annually to the successful bidder.

The successful contractor must be prepared to work closely with the staff of the Gwinnett County Voter Registration & Elections Division of the Department of Community Services. A cooperative collaboration will be critical to achieve successful scheduling and completion of the services during each election period.

II. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

During each election period, the successful contractor must be prepared for the following:

1. Currently, there is a total of 154 polling locations that will need to have equipment transferred from the Voter Registrations & Elections Warehouse located at 825 Progress Center Avenue, suite B, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. The list of each location and the estimated number of cages to be delivered/picked up is included in this Invitation to Bid. All equipment will be grouped by precinct prior to pick up. The number of cages may vary slightly and will be the responsibility of the awarded service provider upon notification from Gwinnett County Elections. The County reserves the right to change/add or delete polling locations at any time during the contract. The successful service provider will be notified of any changes in writing.

2. Currently, ten (10) of the locations will have equipment delivered twice; once for advance voting, which begins approximately three (3) weeks before the actual date of the election, and again on the dates that will be provided to the successful service provider.

3. Equipment delivered to Advance In-Person locations must be picked up on the Monday before the election when the Election Day equipment is being dropped off. All equipment (with the exception of the ICP scanners) shall be returned to the location the equipment was picked up from. The ICP scanners should be delivered to 455 Grayson Highway, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.

4. Equipment must be picked up on the day of delivery for security reasons. The awarded service provider may begin picking up equipment at Voter Registrations and Elections as early as 6:00 AM on the day of delivery. Equipment should be dropped off to Elections by 8:00 PM on the day the equipment is picked up from precincts. If the awarded service provider is unable to meet this deadline, they will need to coordinate approval with the Elections office prior to providing services.

Each day can have from nine (9) to twenty (20) routes consisting of two (2) to three (3) locations per route. The County reserves the right to change routes each election.

5. For each election period, equipment must be delivered approximately one week prior to the actual date of the election, according to the schedule that will be provided to the successful service provider.

BL117-23 Page 3

6. Advance In-Person items to be delivered will be secured in locked metal cages (pictured below0 when leaving the Elections warehouse. Locks will be provided by Gwinnett County. Cage weight varies depending on what is in the cage. However, each cage weighs approximately 300 lbs. The contents of the cages will vary from approximately 450 lbs. to 700 lbs. Each precinct will have at least one ballot scanner (pictured below). Each cage will include ballot marking devices and printers.

The cage will also include consumable items such as ballots, signs, posters, notices, laptops, and label printers.

7. Crowd control barrier posts come in sets of two (2). Advance Voting locations will have five (5) sets of these posts and regular voting locations will have at least two (2) sets. Crowd control posts will not be in the cages.

8. At least four (4) ballot scanners will need to be delivered to each advance voting location. Each regular voting location will have one (1) or two (2) ballot scanner(s). Ballot scanners will not be in the cages.

9. Some voting locations will need eight-foot (8’) tables delivered. Exact quantity will be addressed with the successful service provider. The tables will have folding legs. The locations can have up to twenty (20) tables, but this number may increase or decrease. The expected number of tables will be provided leading up to the election.

10. Universal Power Supplies (UPSs) will be provided to each location. These will not be on a cart but will be on a hand truck. Currently, the average is eight (8) per location, with a maximum of fifteen (15).

11. Each location is provided a metal or plastic A-frame.

12. Supply bags/bins will be provided to each location. These supplies are specific to each location and are clearly marked with that location’s information.

13. The successful service provider should have a project manager on-site while equipment is being delivered/returned. The project manager should be able to track where the current trucks are located in the delivery routes and provide updates to Election Staff as needed.

14. On Election Night, there will need to be three (3) 26’ trucks to load supplies as they are returned to the Voter Registrations and Elections Office located at 455 Grayson Highway, Suite 200, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 and take them to 825 Progress Center Avenue, Suite B, Lawrenceville, GA 30043 throughout the night. There must also be staff to load the trucks during this process.

17. Bid, Payment and Performance Bonds are not required for this solicitation. A Fidelity bond is required and should be submitted with your bid. The recommended service provider will be required to submit their fidelity bond and certificate of insurance upon request prior to award.

Failure to provide fidelity bond may result in bid being deemed non-responsive. Bidders are encouraged to speak with their sureties to line up bond and insurance so that it can be obtained quickly when requested. If there is a cost associated with the bond or insurance, bidders will need to take it into consideration in their pricing. The successful service provider will not be able to charge for these costs after the bid due date.

18. An estimated twenty-four (24) 26’ trucks shall be required for each voting period. The awarded service provider(s) may work with the department to substitute different size trucks to accomplish the requested services after award. However, any such substitution MUST be approved in writing by Voter Registrations & Elections staff.

20. The awarded service provider may load the equipment in their trucks with lift gates, ramps, etc.

as long as the equipment is not damaged in the process.

21. It is the intent of the department to award this solicitation to one (1) commercial moving company. However, award will be made in the best interests of Gwinnett County.
