Award Details

Company Name:
Watson Funiture  
Contract Cost:
355,800.00 
Contract Term:
5 Years  
Contract Number:
 
Award Date:
4/6/2007 
Applicable Explanations:
The Evaluation Panel concluded that Watson Furniture Group was the best value to the E911 Communication Center and the Emergency Communications Board over the life of the proposed contract. They had the best overall proposal as well as the lowest cost and could deliver the products in the necessary timeframe requested in the RFP.
Rather than having their proposal be classified as non-responsive and in order to adequately compare the cost proposal for both vendors, the Evaluation Panel added the cost of this service to the BellSouth proposal using the cost from Motorola’s proposal.
The Plant CML Managed Services component included, among other items, training for E911 employees to service the hardware and software after year 1 of the RFP.
After reviewing both vendor’s proposals the Evaluation Panel concluded that Motorola was the best value to the E911 Communication Center and the Emergency Communications Board over the three year life of the proposed contract.
Metro’s Purchasing Agent and Assistant Purchasing Agent reviewed this award on October 3, 2006 and agreed with the panel’s decision. The ECD board met on October 19, 2006 and approved this purchase.
