  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Baltimore County Purchasing Division. The document outlines the requirements and evaluation criteria for potential offerors to submit proposals for a contract. The document states that offerors must acknowledge receipt of all addenda in their proposals. It also emphasizes that all official correspondence should be directed to the Purchasing Division and that the County assumes no responsibility for oral explanations or interpretations of the solicitation documents. The deadline for written questions regarding the solicitation is specified as seven working days prior to the proposal due date. The evaluation of proposals will be based on several criteria, including experience with similar products/structures, financial stability, PJM/local market experience, minority enterprise business utilization, and cost. The committee will recommend awarding the contract to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the County. The document mentions that the evaluation and award process will be based on both technical and price responses, and negotiations may be conducted with offerors to obtain best and final offers. However, offerors are advised not to assume that negotiations will take place and are encouraged to respond fully and honestly in their initial proposals. Oral presentations may be required from offerors to clarify their proposals to the evaluation committee. Contractor qualifications include providing evidence of financial responsibility and the necessary equipment, manpower, and storage facility. Offerors must also provide references of similar contracts serviced in the past ten years, and the County reserves the right to inspect the facilities of responsive offerors. The submission process requires one original and nine copies of the complete proposal. The proposals must be securely sealed and addressed to the Baltimore County Purchasing Division. Technical and price proposals should be mailed together in one package but bound separately. Late proposals will not be considered. The document provides guidelines for preparing proposals, including using recycled paper, consecutively numbering pages, and including an executed procurement affidavit. If funds are not appropriated for contract continuation in any fiscal year, either party has the right to terminate the contract without penalty. The County reserves the right to extend the terms of the contract to other public bodies, subdivisions, schools, and universities. However, the County assumes no authority, liability, or obligation on behalf of these entities, and purchases and payment transactions will be made directly between the contractor and the requesting entity. The document includes a sample form contract, and offerors are required to accept the terms and conditions stated in the form contract unless exceptions are submitted in writing with the proposal. The County reserves the right to deem an offeror non-responsive if their exceptions alter the County's risk, liability, exposure, or the intent of the procurement.
