Bid No. 234006 Wildland Goggles

The City of Salem, Oregon, in collaboration with Marion County, is seeking to procure approximately 30 pairs of Wildland Goggles through Bid No. 234006. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid process, with electronic submissions required through Equity Hub's Bid Locker by March 22, 2023, at 11:00 AM local time. The initial contract term is one year, spanning from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, with potential renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria focus on identifying the lowest responsive bidder based on total price, with specific requirements including detailed pricing information, warranty details, and delivery timeframes. Bidders must provide comprehensive product specifications and compliance documentation. The bid opening will be conducted via a Zoom meeting on the submission deadline, allowing vendors to participate remotely using provided meeting credentials. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive irregularities when it serves the best interests of the municipal entities.

Three vendors submitted bids for this contract: Brewer & Associates LLC, Dan Enterprises Team, and LN Curtis & Sons, with unit prices ranging from $37.91 to $49.00. The City has indicated its intent to award the contract to Brewer & Associates LLC on April 6, 2023. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed, the bid documents emphasize requirements for non-discrimination and recycled materials preference. Successful bidders must comply with local government contracting regulations, including Oregon tax law adherence and non-discrimination policies. The total contract value appears to be relatively modest, with the maximum bid amount not exceeding $1,470.00 for the entire quantity of goggles. No incumbent vendor information was provided, and no specific technology integration requirements were mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation suggests a straightforward goods procurement with standard municipal contracting protocols.
