1.3 SCOPEThe purpose of this IFB is to establish a “Convenience” contract for the day-to-day as needed purchase of goods relating to the repair and maintenance of refrigeration/cooling equipment. This contract replaces #05897 and the goal of this IFB is to solicit responses from qualified bidders offering the best overall value. It is the intent the Office of State Procurement to establish a contract for each region to service the State of Washington.

1.4 TERM OF CONTRACTUpon the date of award, the initial contract term shall be active for a period of 24 months.

1.5 CONTRACT EXTENSIONSThe state reserves the right to extend this contract for additional contract terms or portions thereof. Contract extensions shall be subject to mutual agreement. Total contract period (with extensions) shall not exceed six (6) years.

3 Bidder’s Company Name ______________________

1.6 ESTIMATED USAGE The state estimates that purchases over the initial two-year term of the contract will approximate $1,600,000.00. Estimates are based upon past usage. The State does not guarantee any minimum purchase.

1.7 PURCHASERSBased on historical purchasing data the primary purchasers will be higher education and political subdivisions who are members of the State of Washington Purchasing Cooperative (WSPC) and to a much lesser degree state agencies, and non-profit organizations. Contractor(s) shall not process contract orders from unauthorized purchasers. A list of WSPC members can be found on at: www.ga.wa.gov/pca/cooplist.htm

If bidder agrees to extend contract pricing to State of Oregon ORCCP members, the bidder will be allowed a percent increase to bid pricing to accommodate additional freight costs to Oregon locations (See section 3.2 Bidder Information). Bidders shall indicate any increase in the Bid Submittals. State of Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (DASCPP/ORCPP) has a list of Oregon members at http://tpps.das.state.or.us/purchasing/. Contractors shall not process state contract orders from unauthorized purchasers.

While use of the contract by members of the WSPC and DASCPP/ORCPP is optional, the state encourages them to use state contracts. Their use of the contracts may significantly increase the purchase volume. Their orders are subject to the same contract terms, conditions and pricing as state agencies. The state accepts no responsibility for payment by WSPC or DASCPP/ORCPP members.

1.8 PURCHASES BY NONPROFIT CORPORATIONSLegislation allows nonprofit corporations to participate in state contracts for purchases administered by OSP. By mutual agreement with OSP, the contractor may sell goods or services at contract pricing awarded under this contract to self certified nonprofit corporations. Those organizations purchasing under this contract shall do so only to the extent they retain eligibility and comply with other contract and statutory provisions. The contractor may make reasonable inquiry of credit worthiness prior to accepting orders or delivering goods or services on contract. The state accepts no responsibility for payments by nonprofit corporations. Contractor may not change contracted payment terms for nonprofit orders.

1.9 BIDDER COMPLIANCEThe State reserves the right to consider the actual level of bidder’s compliance with the requirements specified in this IFB, and to consider a bid responsive if it substantially complies with the state’s intent relative to overall bid requirements and specifications.

4 Bidder’s Company Name ______________________

3.5 CUSTOMER REFERENCESBidders are instructed to have a minimum of (3) commercial or government customer references complete the customer reference form and fax the forms to the Office of State Procurement (OSP) prior to the bid opening date. (The customer reference form can be found in Appendix B) It is the responsibility of the bidder to ensure and verify that the customer reference forms have been completed and submitted (by the customer reference) prior to the bid opening date. If any of the 5 questions in questionnaire receive a score of zero (0) then that customer reference will be disqualified yet the requirement for a minimum of (3) qualified references must still be met. Failure to provide 3 qualified references will result in disqualification and the bidder will not be eligible for award. If more than (3) qualified references are submitted, only the (3) references with highest point total will be used in evaluating the bidders response. In other words, only the bidder’s (3) most favorable references will be used to calculate reference-points. The formula for calculating price-points will be:

(Sum total of top 3 customer references) ÷ 3 = Customer Reference-points

3.6 CONTRACT PRICINGThe state will be establishing contract pricing based on a discount off the manufacturer’s published catalog price. Based on historical purchasing data, it is expected that the manufacturers identified in the Pricing Worksheet provides sufficient contract coverage relevant to the scope of this contract. Weighting is based on historical purchasing data and reflects the percentage of dollars spent per manufacturer.

For the purposes of this contract, the date identified on a purchase order as correlated to the most current edition of the i2 TRA-SER PRO Price Directory Data® will be used to establish manufacturer’s published catalog price. The i2 TRA-SER PRO Price Directory® aggregates and regularly updates pricing information for the manufacturer’s to be incorporated into this contract. Information regarding the i2 TRA-SER PRO can be found via the Internet at: http://www.i2tradeservice.com/sol_contractors/plumbing/products/pl_con_tra-ser_pro_pm.html Bidders may acquire a demo version of the i2 TRA-SER PRO software by contacting Ian Joslin at (800) 585-7521. Contract pricing will be calculated by multiplying the bidder’s proposed percent discount to the manufactures published catalog prices. For Example:

(Percent discount i.e. .456) x (i2 TRA-SER PRO Price i.e. $100) = (Contract Price $45.60) Bidders are to complete the Pricing Worksheet by bidding a percent discount multiplier (not to exceed 3 decimal places i.e. .456 = 45.6%) to be applied to the i2 TRA-SER PRO Price Directory for the manufacturers identified. This discount bid will be applied to all of the manufacturer’s wares relevant to the scope of this contract. Bid pricing will include FOB destination, freight prepaid for any destination within the region bid. If bidder agrees to extend contract pricing to State of Oregon ORCCP members, the fright charges as identified in Section 3.3 BID INFORMATION will be applied as indicated. The State acknowledges that manufactures periodically update catalog pricing (also reflected in the i2 TRA-SER PRO Price Directory) and consequently impacting contract pricing. Although fluctuations are likely the contractor(s) will not be allowed to change their discount percentages throughout contract period.

NOTE: All pricing shall include the costs of bid preparation, the i2 TRA-SER PRO monthly subscription fees, servicing of accounts, upon requested price verification, and all other contractual obligations.

The decision to add any of these complementary manufacturers will be at the discretion of procurement officer. Additionally, the successful bidder(s) may be required to provide sufficient documentation needed to support the claims that the proposed discount equates to a 5% markup based on average landed cost. All other contract terms will apply. Therefore, please list other relevant manufacturers (listed in the i2 TRA_SER PRO Price Directory) the bidder is willing to supply along with the appropriate discount multiplier.

4 BID EVALUATIONIn accordance with Competitive Procurement Standards the state intends to award the contract(s) by region to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per region. A point system will be used to establish the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) on a per region basis. Only those bid responses that conform to bid requirements and comply with the Bidder Requirements as outlined in section 3 of the IFB will be evaluated and scored. Bidders will accumulate points based on both cost and non-cost factors (References/Service Area). To aid in the evaluation process, the state may request a meeting with bidders to discuss the nature and scope of contractual requirements. In no manner shall such action be construed as negotiations or an indication of the state’s intention to award.

4.1 BID SCORINGThere is a total of 1,000 possible points and the bidder receiving the highest point total (per region bid) will be awarded contract for that region. The scoring criteria will be as follows:1) Customer References (10-points)

A total of 10-points have been assigned to the reference portion of the IFB. The bidder’s reference score will be determined by averaging the top (3) qualified customer references. In other words the formula for calculating price-points will be:

(Sum total of 3 most favorable references) ÷ 3 = Total Customer Reference-points

2) Service Area (6-points)Bidders will be awarded 2-points for each store location bid per region as identified in table found in section 3.4 SERVICE AREA but no more than 6-points will be awarded per region.

3) Pricing (980-points)A maximum total of 980-points are assigned to the pricing portion of the IFB. Weighting in the form of points has been assigned to each manufacturer to be bid. The bidder proposing the most favorable discount off list price will receive the maximum weighted-points for the manufacturer bid. All other responses receive points proportionate to the most favorable discount. If a bidder has offered a prompt payment discount PPD % net 30 (See section 3.2 Bidder Information) then that discount will be added to the bid pricing. The formula for calculating price-points as well as a sample calculation follows:

(Bidder discount + PPD) ÷ Most favorable discount x Weighting = Price points ( .345 + .01 = .355) ÷ ( .456 ) x (i.e. 60) = 46.71-Price points

4) Cost Savings Initiatives (4-points)Should the top contending responses per region (based on the combined point totals of the criteria list above) fall within a range of 4 points, then those bidders Cost Savings Initiatives (proposed in section 3.9) will be assessed and scored for the 4 available points. Points for Cost Savings Initiatives will be awarded based on the potential impact the savings initiatives will have on the contract. The state may request the bidder to provide relevant and supportive market research data in assessing the potential impact of the bidders’ cost savings initiatives.

4.2 AWARD DETERMINATIONThe regional winner will be determined by adding the bidders’ Regional point total to References, Pricing, and Cost Saving point totals. The bidder with the highest point total per region will then be awarded a contract.
