Hammers, tape measures, and levels, annual estimated quantities

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) is seeking quotes for an annual blanket order of hammers, tape measures, and levels, with the contract period spanning from March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025. This procurement is a firm-fixed pricing Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 5025, with quotes due on February 9, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. through the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN) website. Vendors must provide detailed product information, including manufacturer name and part number, and are required to upload product detail sheets, with quotes deemed non-responsive if these are not included. The evaluation criteria will prioritize low dollar amount and best delivery time, with unit price being the primary consideration. All goods must be manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an approved equal, and will be tailgate delivered to RCOC's Warehouse in Waterford, Michigan, between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Suppliers must provide manufacturer warranties, with a default one-year warranty from the delivery date if not otherwise specified.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. RCOC reserves the right to award to one or multiple suppliers and may add or delete items during the contract term. The procurement is subject to annual budget appropriations, and RCOC can terminate the contract with 30 days' notice. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the RFQ encourages environmentally friendly product alternatives and appears to be a standard annual supply contract for tools and measurement equipment. The procurement process allows for flexibility, with RCOC maintaining the ability to adjust the contract as needed. The solicitation does not list any incumbent vendors or specify requirements for existing infrastructure or technology integration. Potential vendors should note the emphasis on comprehensive product documentation, competitive pricing, and the ability to meet delivery specifications as key factors in a successful bid.
