Hammers, tape measures, and levels, annual estimated quantities

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) is seeking quotes for an annual blanket order of hand tools, specifically hammers, tape measures, and levels, through Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 6412. The procurement is for tools to be delivered from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2026, with quotes due on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. through the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN) website. Vendors must provide manufacturer names, part numbers, and product detail sheets, with all items required to be manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an approved equal. The evaluation criteria will focus on the most advantageous offer, considering both low dollar amount and optimal delivery time, with quotes remaining firm for 30 business days from the submission date. Deliverables must be tailor-delivered to the RCOC Warehouse in Waterford, Michigan, between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with unit pricing prevailing in the contract assessment.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract allows RCOC to terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice and includes standard warranty provisions, defaulting to a one-year warranty period if not otherwise specified by the manufacturer. The agency has expressed interest in environmentally friendly products and may request samples during the evaluation process. Payment terms are set at approximately 30 days after receipt of goods and a correct invoice, with RCOC maintaining a tax-exempt status. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the procurement is structured as an annual blanket order, suggesting potential flexibility in order quantities and total contract value. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive product information, including detailed specifications and manufacturer documentation, to be considered for the contract award.
