TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JULY 10, 2014
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Report on rejection of proposals for 14-RFP-21, Master Agreement for Professional Development Courses for a Three-Year Period, Account 101-25000-601170
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 9, 2014, the request for proposal, Master Agreement for Professional Development Courses for a Three-Year Period, was advertised and proposals were received on May 9, 2014. This is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract that is used on an "as needed" basis, so there is no cost estimate.
Two hundred and fifty-nine (259) firms were notified of this request for proposal (RFP) and thirty-five (35) firms requested proposal documents. The tabulation of proposers is as follows:
BRILJENT, LLC
DRAKE RESOURCE GROUP, INC.
LAKE FOREST GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
After a review of the proposals received, it was determined that a variety of training courses required for the non-engineering programs were not offered, as required in the RFP, by all proposers. Therefore, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management has notified Briljent, LLC, Drake Resource Group, Inc. and Lake Forest Graduate School of Management that their proposals are considered non-responsive and rejected in the public's best interest.
The RFP will be revised prior to re-advertisement.
Respectfully Submitted, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
