Reason for Recommendation
At the request of Sheriff's Office, the Procurement and Contracts division issued an Invitation to Bid for 911 Radio Consoles. The existing 911 radio consoles need to be replaced because they are 20 years old and parts are no longer available. The 911 radio consoles are needed to to keep the dispatch center up and running, and will allow for future growth.
Thirteen (13) bid notification letters were mailed, none to local vendors. Three qualified responses were received, none from local vendors. The evaluation is based upon the estimated quantities of 911 radio consoles needed for this fisacal year.
The low bidder, Neilsen's Equipment Maintenance of Mammoth Lakes, CA, bid $130,296 and has offered a $12,000 trade-in allowance for six (6) existing radio consoles, so the net amount will be $118,296 plus applicable sales tax and fees.
Clerk of the Board Follow Up Actions
Following Board approval, the Procurement and Contracts division will issue a purchase order in the net amount of $118,296 plus applicable sales tax and fees to Nielsen's Equipment Maintenance of Mammoth Lakes, CA.
