X ray machine for Capitol Complex

The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) Procurement Office issued a Documented Quote for the procurement of a stationary X-ray machine to be installed at the State Services Building (1525 Sherman Street, Denver, CO) as part of the Capitol Complex security infrastructure. The Executive Security Unit requires the equipment for use at a security checkpoint to screen persons and belongings entering the building during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. The X-ray machine must meet specific technical specifications including minimum dimensions of 119 inches in length with a 22-inch viewing monitor, two roller tables (one 0.5 meters and one 1 meter in length), and TRI/MAT imaging capability to discriminate between organic, inorganic, and metallic objects. All deliverables must include the unit itself, setup and installation, operator training conducted by a skilled service technician, and a minimum one-year warranty covering parts and labor with onsite service capabilities. The vendor must ensure the unit passes all radiation tests required by the State of Colorado, and pricing must include shipping and handling costs as the Colorado State Patrol is tax-exempt. The quote submission deadline was Thursday, August 28, 2014 at 2:00 PM MDT, with submissions accepted via email or mail to Purchasing Agent Vera Kennedy at the CSP Procurement Office. The anticipated award period covers State Fiscal Year 2015 through June 30, 2015, with pricing remaining valid for the length of the award period.

Vendors must be registered on Colorado BIDS by the bid submission deadline to be eligible for award, and the successful bidder will be the responsible vendor whose quote is determined most advantageous to the Colorado State Patrol, with low tie bids awarded in accordance with state statute and reciprocity provisions applying to nonresident bidders. Local preference is given to vendors in the Denver Metro area for maintenance and service support. The procurement documentation does not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, nor are any incumbent vendors or current contractors listed. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the opportunity documentation, though the comprehensive nature of the requirements including equipment, installation, training, and warranty coverage suggests a substantial procurement. The contract will require integration with existing Capitol Complex security infrastructure at the State Services Building.
