PROCUREMENT METHOD

Procurement issued a Solicitation for Quote (SFQ) that was published on the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) website June 4, 2018, for the purchase of a fully assembled TV Truck (complete with specified accessories and all standard equipment).  This solicitation reached out to seventeen vendors and received three vendor responses.  The SFQ closed on June 11, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.  The award was determined by evaluation criteria that rated the cost, qualification and experience, warranty coverage for equipment and references for equipment types.  Based on the evaluation ratings provided by the Fleet Department, it was determined that Jorgenson’s submission in conjunction with NBC Truck Equipment and Visual Imaging, rated the highest out of the three vendors that submitted responses.
