Intent to Award.docx

The document is an Intent to Award notice from the State of Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Materiel Division State Purchasing Bureau for Solicitation Number 123447 OR, involving the procurement of a synthetic ice rink installation at E.T. Mahoney Park. The solicitation seeks 575 synthetic ice panels with specific technical requirements, including high-density polyethylene construction, 15-25mm thickness, and operational capabilities in temperatures ranging from -20F to 120F. Key procurement dates include a solicitation release on September 23, 2025, a bid submission deadline of October 27, 2025, and an intent to award the contract to Glice Inc. The initial contract term is one year, with potential renewals for four additional one-year periods, and electronic bid submissions were mandatory through a specified ShareFile link.

The procurement appears to be an open competition without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Pricing will be structured across a core list and catalog/non-core list, providing flexibility for future modifications to the synthetic ice rink infrastructure. The contract includes provisions for potential discounts on non-catalog products and allows the state to procure goods for up to 18 months from the intent to award date. Additional required deliverables include a leisure dasher board system, cleaning and caring products, an Olympic polisher, 30 pallet boxes, and three radius corners. The project is subject to funding availability, and the state reserves the right to add or remove items from the core procurement list.
