Summary of Specifications:
The Putnam Township Fire Department, Brighton Area Fire Department, and Hartland Area Fire Department are soliciting proposals for the following equipment in order to support operations of the Livingston County Dive Team. All equipment being supplied under this proposal will be utilized for public safety use and should be supplied as such. Pricing for the equipment shall be as indicated on the attached form including any quantity discounts for multiple units being purchased, as well as shipping and handling. All equipment shall be required to be delivered within 30 days of notification of proposal acceptance.
Any items that require a longer lead time and may not be delivered within the 30 day performance period shall be identified on the space indicated on the attached form and shall include a stated performance period. Failure to meet the performance period may result in a penalty of up to 5% per 14 day period that the equipment goes undelivered. This will not be pro-rated and the penalty will be deducted from the first day delivery is not made. The failure to meet the specified performance period may also result in that line item being secured from a different vendor at no penalty to the Livingston County Dive Team or any organization part of the Livingston County Dive Team.
All equipment shall be new and supplied with applicable factory warranties. When a line item includes a manufacturer’s specific series or part number a substitution shall not be included on the bid form. If a vendor would like to propose a cost effective alternative item or an item from a different manufacturer, they should be listed separately in the “other” section of the form. Prices included in the body of the form shall be for the items as specified. If a vendor cannot supply a specific item then a zero shall be entered onto the form for that line item.
Equipment shall be listed as individual line items and the department reserves the right to separate or partial order from different vendors to the benefit of the department. If there are any incentives or discounts offered for obtaining the entire list from a single vendor then that should be listed in the “other” section of the bid form and these discounts should not be included in the line item pricing. The department does not anticipate splitting up line items; if a quantity of 3 is specified then price these items with quantity pricing. If additional funding is available due to the results of this RFP process then additional equipment may be added to the original order at line item pricing.
