Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Report on rejection of bids for Contract 17-689-11, Test and Repair Underground Storage Tanks at Various Locations, estimated cost $121,100.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On February 17, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids, Contract 17-689-11, Test and Repair Underground Storage Tanks at Various Locations.
In response to a public advertisement of March 22, 2017, a bid opening was held on April 18, 2017. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
DJK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. D/B/A
ACCURATE TANK TECHNOLOGIES $158,995.00
Two hundred fifty-eight (258) companies were notified of this contract being advertised and fourteen (14) companies requested specifications.
A review of the sole bid submitted by DJK Technologies, Inc., d/b/a Accurate Tank Technologies revealed that they requested a waiver for the MBE and/or WBE and SBE participation on this contract. A review by the Diversity Administrator indicates that DJK Technologies, Inc., d/b/a Accurate Tank Technologies failed to make a good faith effort to meet the MBE and/or WBE and SBE goal on this contract. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management concurs with the Diversity Administrator and the bid was considered non-responsive and rejected in accordance with Section 12(e) of the Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, where the Director determines that a bidder has not made Good Faith Efforts, the Director shall declare the bid submission non-responsive and will reject the bid. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed DJK Technologies, Inc., d/b/a Accurate Tank Technologies of this action.
The contract will be re-advertised as soon as possible.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
