D210091 - Step Mirrors

A researcher with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Colorado State University intends to purchase 5 new custom fabricated step mirrors as a 2-step process.  The first step will fund the fabrication of a sample mirror from one or more selected respondents for performance testing.  Due to budgetary and time constraints, CSU at its sole discretion will determine the number of sample mirrors to test.  The second step will award the fabrication of the remaining 4 mirrors to the respondent who provided a sample mirror that performed successfully and offered the best value to CSU.  The step mirrors must meet or exceed all specifications which are provided within.  Only new or newly manufactured materials will be considered, no refurbished or demo materials.  Colorado State University invites competitive responses for this two-step purchase as defined below. 
 
Colorado State University will be the sole judge of best fit/performance of mirrors for the intended application.  Interested parties must be manufacturers or authorized distributors of the step mirrors per the attached requirements prior to responding to this Two-Step Documented Quotation.
 
Due to budgetary and time constraints, a response to this solicitation does not guarantee an opportunity to participate but will be by invitation only from CSU.  Respondents who are awarded Step 1 and provide a sample mirror for evaluation are not guaranteed to be awarded Step 2.
 
Responses to both steps must be submitted via email to gregory.smith@colostate.edu, no later than 4:30 P.M. MT on Monday November 21, 2016.
