IFB - Water Heaters, 2017
- YEAR CREATED: 2017
The document is an invitation for sealed bids for water heaters, with the solicitation number Q1727. The due date for bids is June 2, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. eastern standard time, and they should be delivered to Knoxville's Community Development Corporation (KCDC) in Knoxville, TN. Electronic copies of the bid should be submitted using the MS Word version of the document, and paper copies must also be provided if indicated in the solicitation narrative. There is no solicitation meeting for this bid. Questions about the solicitation should be submitted to purchasinginfo@kcdc.org. The award results will be posted on KCDC's website.
The document provides background information about KCDC, which is the public housing and redevelopment agency for the City of Knoxville and Knox County in Tennessee. KCDC manages public housing properties, vouchers, and moderate rehabilitation units. This solicitation is being issued on behalf of the Tennessee Association Housing & Redevelopment Authorities (TAHRA), and it is open for any housing agency or governmental entity in the state to participate. The purpose of the solicitation is to purchase water heaters for use by public housing authorities across the state. Once the award is made, the successful supplier will be expected to honor orders from any TAHRA member agency or other participating entity. However, participation is not required, and separate procurements can be conducted.
The document also mentions that the successful suppliers will need to market the program to TAHRA members, and they are encouraged to consider active participation in TAHRA. Changes to the service needs or requirements specified in the document may be made after the award, and KCDC reserves the right to accept proposed service changes from the supplier if they lower the cost or provide improved service. The evaluation of bids will consider both responsiveness and responsibility, and KCDC may request additional information during the evaluation process.
General instructions for vendors are provided on KCDC's website, and vendors are responsible for downloading, reading, and abiding by the terms and conditions. Invoicing and ordering instructions are specific to KCDC, and suppliers must submit invoices within 90 days after the delivery of goods or services. KCDC is exempt from taxes and pays by electronic transfer only. The initial award is for 12 months with the option for four one-year renewals. The successful supplier may request a price increase at the end of each award year, with proof of increased costs required. KCDC may accept the proposed price increase at its discretion.
