Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

Monaco Enterprises Inc. (MEI) is the original manufacturer and service provider for the Fire, Security and Life Safety Equipment and Services currently in use at the three locations stated above. The systems are primarily comprised of proprietary software developed by MEI. MEI retains exclusive ownership of the software and does not authorize third parties to alter or add to MEI software and equipment. The systems upgrade is required to be compatible with the existing MEI D-21 system and therefore no other products from other manufacturers would offer the required functionality.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research was performed in an effort to identify additional contractors that are authorized to sell/alter or add to Monaco equipment. However it was determined that the D-21 system is propriety and is required to be purchased/ licensed from Monaco and also requires a Monaco technician to complete the installation and configuration.
