_____________________________________________________________________________
(A) SPEED ADVISORY TRAILER ? RFP NO. 08-0012
It is requested that Council authorize the purchase of two (2) speed advisory
trailers from MPH Industries (Owensboro, KY).
The recommended vendor will provide speed trailers to be used by the Traffic
Engineering Division as traffic-calming devices and to collect speed data for
streets. Speed advisory trailers are another effective tool to use in
residential subdivisions to cause an immediate reduction in speed. This RFP
provides for the Traffic Engineering and Police Departments to purchase
additional units (2 to 4), during FY09, should additional funds became
available during the Mid-Year budget adjustment. The recommended vendor has
agreed, in writing, to hold the prices through June 30, 2009.
Requests for proposal invitations were mailed to thirty-three vendors. This
RFP has been advertised and posted on the City?s web page. Proposals were
received on December 14, 2007 from six offerors:
MPH Industries (Owensboro, KY)
Traffic Products (North Palm Beach, FL)
Transafe Company (Lawrenceville, GA)
Monitor Systems (Dallas, TX)
Information Display Company (Beaverton, OR)
K&K Systems (Tupelo, MS)
Proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee, which consisted of voting
representatives from the Engineering Department and Police Department. A
Representative from the Traffic Engineering Division, of the Engineering
Department, served in an advisory capacity.
The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals
for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs
the RFP Process. During the process of an RFP there is no formal opening, due
to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event
Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any
negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract.
If Council does not approve the recommended offeror, negotiations will begin
with the next responsive offeror. Evaluation results and cost information has
been submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo, for informational
purposes.
Funds are pending FY08 carryover: General Fund ? Engineering ? Traffic
Engineering ? Capital Expenditures Over $5,000; 0101-250-2100-TRAF-7761.
