QDV Calculation DNR Disc Harrow.xlsx

This is a QDV (Qualified Disabled Veteran) preference calculation worksheet for the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) related to a Disc Harrow procurement. The document outlines the competitive bidding process for equipment procurement and establishes the official award based on Michigan's service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB) preference program. The project involves evaluating bids from both standard responsive bidders and qualified disabled veteran-owned businesses to determine the most advantageous award to the state.

The lowest responsive bidder is Card Bros. Equipment with a bid amount of $21,128.00. The state applies a 10% preference allowance to qualified disabled veteran-owned bidders under Michigan statutes MCL 18.1241 and MCL 18.1261. E2 Enterprises, identified as the lowest responsive SDVOB bidder, submitted a bid of $23,625.00, which when reduced by the $2,112.80 preference amount (10% of the lowest bid), results in an adjusted bid of $21,512.20. Despite the preference adjustment, Card Bros. Equipment remains the official low responsive bidder at $21,128.00. The worksheet provides a systematic calculation methodology for state procurement officers to evaluate bids from both standard and SDVOB vendors while applying the statutory veteran preference program.
