G. “OPENING” Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 2 I. ABOUT SOURCEWELL PARTICIPATING ENTITIES A. SOURCEWELL Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government agency and service cooperative created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21) that facilitates a competitive public solicitation and contract award process for the benefit of its 50,000+ participating entities across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell’s solicitation process complies with State of Minnesota law and policies, conforms to Canadian trade agreements, and results in cooperative contracting solutions from which Sourcewell’s Participating Entities procure equipment, products, and services. Cooperative contracting provides participating entities and vendors increased administrative efficiencies and the power of combined purchasing volume that result in overall cost savings. At times, Sourcewell also partners with other purchasing cooperatives to combine the purchasing volume of their membership into a single solicitation and contract expanding the reach of contracted vendors’ potential pool of end users. Sourcewell uses a website-based platform, the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, through which all proposals to this RFP must be submitted. B. USE OF RESULTING CONTRACTS In the United States, Sourcewell’s contracts are available for use by: • Federal and state government entities; • Cities, towns, and counties/parishes; • Education service cooperatives; • K-12 and higher education entities; • Tribal government entities; • Some nonprofit entities; and • Other public entities. In Canada, Sourcewell’s contracts are available for use by: • Provincial and territorial government departments, ministries, agencies, boards, councils, committees, commissions, and similar agencies; • Regional, local, district, and other forms of municipal government, municipal organizations, school boards, and publicly-funded academic, health, and social service entities referred to as MASH sector (this should be construed to include but not be limited to the Cities of Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, and Winnipeg), as well as any corporation or entity owned or controlled by one or more of the preceding entities; Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 3 • Crown corporations, government enterprises, and other entities that are owned or controlled by these entities through ownership interest; • Members of the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) and their represented Associations, Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM), Local Authority Services (LAS), Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador (MNL), Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities (NSFM), and Federation of Prince Edward Island Municipalities (FPEIM). For a listing of current United States and Canadian Participating Entities visit Sourcewell’s website (note: there is a tab for each country’s listing): https://www.sourcewell- mn.gov/sourcewell-for-vendors/agency-locator. Access to contracted equipment, products, or services by Participating Entities is typically through a purchase order issued directly to the applicable vendor. A Participating Entity may request additional terms or conditions related to a purchase. Use of Sourcewell contracts is voluntary and Participating Entities retain the right to obtain similar equipment, products, or services from other sources. To meet Participating Entities’ needs, public notice of this RFP has been broadly published, including notification in the United States to each state-level procurement department for possible re-posting. Proof of publication will be available at the conclusion of the solicitation process. II. EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES A. SOLUTIONS-BASED SOLICITATION This RFP and contract award process is a solutions-based solicitation; meaning that Sourcewell is seeking equipment, products, or services that meet the general requirements of the scope of this RFP and that are commonly desired or are required by law or industry standards. B. REQUESTED EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES It is expected that Proposers will offer a wide array of equipment, products, or services at lower prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to a single government entity, a school district, or a regional cooperative. 1. Sourcewell is seeking proposals for Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services, including, but not to be limited to: Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 4 a. Concrete, asphalt, metal, wood, synthetic, composite, or organic materials, equipment, and accessories, intended or designed for bike or skate park or track applications including, but not limited to: i. Pre-cast, poured, cast-in-place, and hybrid solutions; and, ii. Prefabricated, modular, and custom equipment. b. Services related to the solutions described in subsections 1.a. above, including design-build services, site assessment, site preparation, installation, maintenance or repair, and warranty programs. However, this solicitation should NOT be construed to include “service-only” solutions. Proposers may include related services to the extent that these solutions are complementary to the offering of the equipment and products being proposed. A Proposer may elect to offer a materials-only solution, a turn-key solution, or an alternative solution. Generally, a turn-key solution is most desirable to Sourcewell and its Participating Entities, however, it is not mandatory or required. This solicitation does not include those equipment, products, or services covered under categories included in contracts currently maintained by Sourcewell: 1. Athletic Surfacing with Related Materials, Supplies, Installation, and Services (RFP #060518) 2. Athletic and Physical Education Equipment and Supplies with Related Accessories (RFP #071819) Generally, the solutions for Participating Entities are turn-key solutions, providing a combination of equipment, products and services, delivery, and installation to a properly operating status. However, equipment or products only solutions may be appropriate for situations where Participating Entities possess the ability, either in-house or through local third- party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being proposed. Sourcewell prefers vendors that provide a sole source of responsibility for the products and services provided under a resulting contract. If Proposer requires the use of dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the products or services, the Proposal should address how the products or services will be provided to Participating Entities and describe the network of dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract. Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 5 Sourcewell desires the broadest possible selection of equipment, products, and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross-section of Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities. C. REQUIREMENTS It is expected that Proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. 1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or regulatory standards or codes. 2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services. 3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new, current model; however, Proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal. 4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the Proposal, equipment and products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational. 5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a warranty that is the industry standard or better. D. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TERM Sourcewell anticipates that the term of any resulting contract(s) will be four (4) years. Up to two one-year extensions may be offered based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities. E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $15 Million; therefore, proposers are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract are not guaranteed. F. MARKETING PLAN Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities. The Proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate Proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as Proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is expected that Proposer will promote and market any contract award. Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 6 G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS 1. Contracts will be awarded to Proposers able to best meet the need of Participating Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP. 2. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the Proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify Proposer’s information and may request clarification from a Proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products. 3. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory. 4. A Proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal. III. PRICING A. REQUIREMENTS All proposed pricing must be: 1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these: a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the Vendor’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any Contract resulting from this RFP. 2. The Proposer’s ceiling price (Ceiling price means that the proposed pricing will be considered as the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity). However, it is permissible for vendors to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price; 3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable); and 4. Clearly understood, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location). Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 7 Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. Additionally, Proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the Proposal. B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES Proposers are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative. IV. CONTRACT Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the Proposer indicates in its proposal will be available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the Proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation. To request a modification to the Contract terms, conditions, or specifications, a Proposer must complete and submit the Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table, with all requested modifications, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at the time of submitting the Proposer’s Proposal. Exceptions must: 1. Clearly identify the affected article and section, and 2. Clearly note what language is requested to be modified. Unclear requests will be automatically denied. Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract document provided to the awarded vendor for signature. If a Proposer receives a contract award resulting from this solicitation it will have up to 30 days to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract award may be revoked. V. RFP PROCESS A. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #112420 Skatepark, Bike Park, and Pump Track Solutions with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services Page 8 Sourcewell will hold an optional, non-mandatory pre-proposal conference via webcast on the date and time noted on page one of this RFP and on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The purpose of this conference is to allow potential Proposers to ask questions regarding this RFP and Sourcewell’s competitive contracting process. Information about the webcast will be sent to all entities that have registered for this solicitation opportunity through their Sourcewell Procurement Portal Vendor Account. Pre-proposal conference attendance is optional. B. QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RFP AND ORAL COMMUNICATION Questions regarding this RFP must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The deadline for submission of questions is found in the Solicitation Schedule and on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Answers to questions will be issued through an addendum to this RFP. Repetitive questions will be summarized into a single answer and identifying information will be removed from the submitted questions. All questions, whether specific to a Proposer or generally related to the RFP, must be submitted using this process. Do not contact individual Sourcewell staff to ask questions or request information as this may disqualify the Proposer from responding to this RFP. Sourcewell will not respond to questions submitted after the deadline. C. ADDENDA Sourcewell may modify this RFP at any time prior to the proposal due date by issuing an addendum. Addenda issued by Sourcewell become a part of the RFP and will be delivered to potential Proposers through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Sourcewell accepts no liability in connection with the delivery of any addenda. Before a proposal will be accepted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, all addenda, if any, must be acknowledged by the Proposer by checking the box for each addendum. It is the responsibility of the Proposer to check for any addenda that may have been issued up to the solicitation due date and time. If an addendum is issued after a Proposer submitted its proposal, the Sourcewell Procurement Portal will WITHDRAW the submission and change the Proposer’s proposal status to INCOMPLETE. The Proposer can view this status change in the “MY BIDS” section of the Sourcewell Procurement Portal Vendor Account. The Proposer is solely responsible to check the “MY BIDS” section of the Sourcewell Procurement Portal Vendor Account periodically after submitting its Proposal (and up to the Proposal due date). If the Proposer’s Proposal status has changed to INCOMPLETE, the Proposer is solely responsible to: i) make any required adjustments to its proposal; ii) acknowledge the addenda; and iii) ensure the re-submitted proposal is received through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal no later than the Proposal Due Date and time shown in the Solicitation Schedule above.
