_____________________________________________________________________________



(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.
