From: Prew.Petonick(aaFerouson.com <br />To: Jennifer Hvde <br />Subject: Protest of Award: Bid# 2019048 <br />Date: Tuesday, May 07, 2019 11:23:29 PM <br />Importance: High <br />Dear Jennifer, <br />First, I would like to acknowledge that I submitted the flash drive with the information in the <br />incorrect format. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you or your team. <br />However, this error was made in good faith and does not constitute our entire bid being rejected. In <br />fact, to remedy this error, would take mere minutes to correct. <br />Furthermore, by throwing Ferguson's bid out along with the third bidder, you will essentially be <br />awarding the entire Annual Bid to one unopposed bidder. <br />We were already sent the overall bid tab where we were low overall bidder. I understand when you <br />have multiple bidders, the County will pick and choose which items to award to whom. Clearly, <br />Ferguson was low on a significant amount of these items and would stand to be awarded a good <br />amount of items if our bid is not thrown out. <br />In summary, we feel that the reasoning for throwing Ferguson's bid out is a minor technicality and <br />an error made in good faith. To award the entire bid to one unopposed party is unjust and a <br />reckless use of tax payers money. The County is essentially choosing to pay more for a great deal of <br />items on the Annual Bid to the detriment of the taxpayers. <br />We formally request that: <br />1. Our bid be reinstated for consideration <br />or <br />2. All bids arerejected due to a lack of competition and the County calls for a rebid <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Drew Petonick <br />Outside Sales <br />Ferguson Waterworks <br />1950 NW 18th St Pompano Beach, FI 33069 <br />(954)973-8100 1 fx.
