Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate):

Anita Montjoy, Deputy District Maintenance Administrator

Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

The majority of our new heavy equipment purchases have been Caterpillar (Cat) brand off the Department of Management Services (DMS) Term Contracts. This simulator is also the only Cat Brand licensed unit that is portable and not a large, more permanent installation. This specifically meets the Department's current needs and workspace to benefit more employees and add flexibility to scheduling training. This would allow for more periodic training with smaller groups as well as provide up-to-date training from Cat with the latest industry standards on demand. This will also provide thorough training records for each participant to be able to evaluate and schedule addition time without needing to contract trainers to return for those staff needing additional training after their initial sessions.

Intended Single Source:

Simformotion LLC

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$71,184.79

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Simformotion LLC dba Cat Simulators is the sole distributor of Cat Simulators. There are no other distributors of Cat Simulators. Simformotion has been licensed to produce Cat branded simulators. Under the licensing agreement, Caterpillar provides machine technical data, engineering specifications, audio recordings of machine sounds and subject-mater experts for realism and training content. Software is proprietary to Simformotion.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
