A <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PURCHASING DIVISION <br />DATE: March 27, 2017 <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THROUGH: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />Mike Smykowski, Director, Office of Management and Budget <br />FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Award for Bid 2017024 — Annual Bid for Utility Operations Warehouse <br />Stock <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On October 18, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners rejected responses received for Bid <br />2017005, Annual Bid for Utility Operations Warehouse Stock and authorized release of a new bid, <br />due to a significant number of items omitted from the released invitation to bid. The Board also <br />authorized an extension to the award of the previous bid (2014010) until a new bid is awarded. <br />BID RESULTS: <br />Bid Opening Date: <br />Advertising Date: <br />Demandstar Broadcast to: <br />Specifications/Plans Downloaded by: <br />Replies: <br />January 2, 2017 <br />December 11, 2016 <br />516 Subscribers <br />33 Vendors <br />2 Vendors <br />The bid requested pricing for 1,144 individual items which may or not be required during the <br />period of award. Bidders were not required to bid on every item. The summary below reflects the <br />sum of the pricing for all items quoted per vendor. The extreme variance in totals between the <br />two vendors can be attributed to 84 items on Ferguson's bid priced more than 50 percent higher <br />than HD Supply, with 53 of those at least 100 percent higher. <br />Ferguson's prices on some items are comparable or lower than HD Supply's, and therefore the <br />Department requests award be made to both vendors, in the event one vendor cannot supply the <br />required material. At the time of order, when exact items and quantity are known, the lowest cost <br />and availability will be used to determine vendor. <br />Bidder Location Total Annual Bid Amount <br />HD Supply Waterworks Fort Pierce $648,811.65 <br />Ferguson Enterprises Fort Pierce $1,720,050.66 <br />P141 <br />
