About this opportunity
The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources issued Request for Quote 18000000815 for the removal and installation of Mercury boat motors through its SIGMA VSS procurement system. This solicitation sought a single contractor to provide removal services for existing motors and installation of new Mercury motors, representing a one-time purchase requirement. The specific deliverables included two 2018 Mercury Motor 225XL SeaPro motors (Part Numbers 12250039A and 12250041A) along with associated removal and installation labor services. A key qualification requirement was that bidders must be authorized Mercury dealers. The RFP was posted on August 2, 2018, with a proposal due date of August 15, 2018, allowing a 13-day response period. The evaluation panel, comprising Dorene Sandoval (Buyer), Brandon Kieft (Lieutenant), and Milly Williams (Procurement Technician), assessed proposals based on responsiveness, responsibility, and technical merit, with both submitted bidders successfully meeting the technical evaluation requirement of authorized dealer status.
Two bidders responded to this solicitation: Damark Marine Specialties Inc. of Gibraltar, Michigan, and T & RC Company Inc. DBA/Indian River Sports Center of Indian River, Michigan. The award recommendation was made to Damark Marine Specialties Inc. based on being the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest overall price. Damark's proposal totaled $29,742.66, consisting of $28,712.66 for the two Mercury motors and $1,030.00 for installation and removal services, significantly underbidding the competing proposal of $49,574.07 from T & RC Company Inc. The award was pending State Administrative Board approval at the time of the notice of intent to award, issued on August 27, 2018. Unsuccessful bidders were offered the opportunity to schedule a debriefing session with Solicitation Manager Dorene Sandoval via email at sandovald@michigan.gov or by telephone at (517) 284-5926 to understand the rationale for non-selection.
