Fasteners, sign hardware, annual estimated quantities

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) is seeking quotes for an annual blanket order of fasteners and sign hardware through Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 4186.1. The procurement seeks firm-fixed pricing for various sign hardware components, including steel shapes, aluminum alloy components, bolts, nuts, and other fasteners that must meet specific ASTM standards and MDOT specifications. Suppliers are required to provide manufacturer names and part numbers on their pricing sheets, with environmentally friendly product alternatives encouraged. The quote is due on September 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., with submitted quotes remaining firm for 30 business days. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest dollar amount and best delivery time, with unit price taking precedence. Deliveries will be conducted in a tailgate-style to the RCOC Warehouse in Waterford, Michigan, with acceptance Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., excluding RCOC observed holidays. The contract term runs through May 31, 2024, with RCOC reserving the right to add or delete items during this period.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement allows for potential award to one or multiple suppliers, providing flexibility in vendor selection. Manufacturers' warranties are required, with a default one-year warranty period if not otherwise specified. The contract is subject to fiscal funding availability and includes standard terms and conditions covering non-discrimination, regulatory compliance, and potential contract termination with 30 days' notice. While no specific budget range was provided, the annual estimated quantities suggest a significant procurement volume for sign hardware and fasteners. The solicitation indicates that RCOC will maintain flexibility in the procurement process, potentially allowing for multiple vendor awards to ensure comprehensive coverage of their hardware needs.
