BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
This MRO Contract includes industrial equipment and supplies such as compressors, pumps, valves, gaskets, lubricants, repair tools and cleaning supplies which will help ensure DWSD’s operations run efficiently and meet the needs of DWSD customers. This cooperative contract will ensure that DWSD will continue the timely replenishment of MRO supplies within DWSD’s warehouses, by avoiding emergency spot buy purchases and reducing downtime.
PROCUREMENT METHOD
This contract was originally initiated through requisition #507599 which was approved by Budget on 6/7/23. The DWSD Procurement Policy allows for participation in cooperative purchasing agreements from other public purchasing consortiums of competitively solicited contracts. However, prior to utilizing a cooperative contract, the DWSD Procurement Policy requires Detroit Certified Businesses be provided an exclusive opportunity to submit a bid that is equal to or less than the price of the cooperative purchase agreement, provided the vendor will meet or exceed all terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement. To ensure compliance, DWSD Procurement published ITR #507599 on 11/8/23, with a closing date of 11/20/23 through the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network. The ITR was solicited to over 343 suppliers and 52 suppliers viewed the ITR. One bid was received from ACE Restoration Services, a certified Detroit Based Business (DBB). Board approval obtained 12/21/23 and Mayoral approval obtained 12/5/23.
Proposed Amendment No. 1 was initiated through requisition #540545 and approved by Budget on 10/3/25. The additional funds are needed to ensure DWSD warehouses can maintain viable stock levels and process invoices throughout the duration of the contract term (12/31/26).
Ace Restoration Services clearances expire 10/21/26. A formal amended contract document is not required.
