BID - Art Supplies 2009

The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the Cobb County School District (CCSD) in Marietta, Georgia. The RFP outlines the minimum requirements and performance specifications for vendors who wish to provide art supplies to the CCSD. The document specifies that the vendor must have the capability to accept orders electronically via secure internet access or other electronic methods. The vendor must also be able to process orders received via phone, fax, or internet and accept procurement cards or purchase orders as payment methods. The vendor must provide inside delivery to all CCSD facilities and consider the school year calendar when scheduling deliveries. The document also mentions the need for a local customer service representative and the requirement for the vendor to have demonstrated experience in providing art supply contracts to similar-sized customers for at least three years. The performance specifications include the need for a single point of contact for the CCSD account, a comprehensive illustrated catalog, and the exclusion of office furniture, equipment, and computer hardware from the proposal. The document also includes requirements for ordering, substitutions, delivery, return process, and ongoing updates to an electronic requisition form. The CCSD intends to award the RFP to one vendor, but may negotiate with other vendors for any unbidded items. The successful vendor will be responsible for providing usage reports and statistical data to the CCSD. The document also outlines the proposal requirements for vendors, emphasizing the importance of following the specified format and adequately addressing each area to avoid being deemed non-responsive.
