MPA 335 Automated Teller Machine Services

The State of Rhode Island is soliciting proposals for MPA 335 Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Services through a comprehensive Request for Proposals (RFP) targeting vendors capable of furnishing, installing, and maintaining standalone ATMs throughout the state. The procurement seeks to establish a Master Price Agreement (MPA) with an initial five-year contract period beginning approximately February 1, 2025, with options to renew for up to three additional 12-month periods based on vendor performance and funding availability. Vendors must submit both technical and cost proposals electronically through the Ocean State Procures system by November 25, 2024 at 3:00 PM GMT, with a vendor Q&A period running from October 28, 2024 to November 11, 2024. Evaluation criteria will consider technical merit and cost, with the lowest cost proposal receiving the maximum available cost points. Key requirements include maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1M general liability, workers compensation, automobile liability, $500K crime coverage, $2M professional liability, and $5M cyber/privacy liability.

The RFP includes specific requirements for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation, mandating vendors submit an MBE Participation Acknowledgment Form with their proposals. Political subdivisions, including municipalities, higher education institutions, schools, and quasi-public agencies, will be eligible to participate in the resulting Master Price Agreement. A 1% contract administrative fee will be assessed on all purchase orders issued under the contract, with vendors required to submit quarterly reports detailing invoiced amounts. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates this is a renewal or replacement of an existing ATM services contract (MPA 335). Vendors must register in Ocean State Procures to submit proposals and be considered for award. Although a specific contract value is not provided, the statewide applicability and multi-year term suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified ATM service providers.
