SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH CLARK EQUIPMENT COMPANY DBA BOBCAT
COMPANY TO PURCHASE EXCAVATOR AND TRAILER
DATE: February 27, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council by motion adopt the attached Resolution approving an agreement with Clark Equipment Company DBA Bobcat Company for the purchase of an excavator and trailer, for a total cost of $39,877.38.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
During the annual budget review and preparation process, the Public Works Department requested funding for the replacement of existing equipment that is worn/inoperable and for new materials and supplies. The Department identified the below listed equipment as a needed new purchase in FY 2022-23. • Purchase of a new Excavator. This is a new unit to be used by Public Works staff during landscaping, irrigation, and other maintenance projects involving trenching, digging, and augering activities. The trailer will be used to transport the excavator and other equipment from the yard to each work site.
Cooperative Purchasing through Sourcewell
Under Section 3.04.100(E) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code, the City's purchasing policy allows for an exception to the purchasing policy when the supplier offers the same or better price, terms and conditions as a supplier offered as the lowest responsible bidder under a competitive procurement conducted by another city or public agency. Bell Gardens is a member of Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance NJ PA) and membership entitles the City to access competitively bid national contracts resulting in lower priced vehicles due to economies of scale.
Sourcewell was created by state law as a service cooperative to provide programs and services to education and government. As a service cooperative, Sourcewell is a local government unit, public corporation, and public agency created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21) that offers cooperative procurement solutions to its members. Participation is open to all levels of governmental entity, higher education, K- 12 education, nonprofit, tribal government, and other public entities located in the United States and Canada.
Sourcewell is authorized to establish competitively awarded cooperative purchasing contracts on behalf of itself and its participating agencies. Sourcewell follows the competitive contracting law process to solicit, evaluate, and award cooperative purchasing contracts for goods and services.
On February 14, 2019, Sourcewell (hereinafter, "Sourcewell") issued a Request for Proposals ("Sourcewell RFP") 481
for Medium Duty and Compact Construction Equipment with Related Attachments, Accessories, and Supplies (RFP #040319). On March 29, 2019, Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company submitted a proposal and on May 28, 2019, Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company was awarded a Solicitation Contract #040319-CEC which was later extended on January 23, 2023.
Staff obtained a quote from Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company for the excavator and trailer for a cost of $39,877.38. The equipment pricing is based on Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company's cooperative purchasing contract with Sourcewell.
CONCLUSION:
With Council approval of the proposed agreement with Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company, the City as a public agency will be able to utilize Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company's cooperative agreement with Sourcewell to purchase the equipment directly from them.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are funds available in the amount of $45,000 in the FY 2022/23 Public Works budget for this purchase.

INTRODL1c [IOC'
A. ABOUT SOURCEWELL
3.1 Sourcewell, formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance" (NJPA) is a public agency serving as a national municipal contracting agency established under the Service Cooperative statute by Minnesota Legislative Statute §123A.21 with the authority to develop and offer, among other services, cooperative procurement services to its membership. Eligible membership and participation includes states, cities, counties, all government agencies, both public and non-public educational agencies, colleges, universities and non-profit organizations.
3.2 Under the authority of Minnesota state laws and enabling legislation, Sourcewell facilitates a competitive solicitation and contracting process on behalf of the needs of itself and the needs of current and potential member agencies nationally. This process results in national procurement contracts with various Vendors of products/equipment and services which Sourcewell Member agencies desire to procure. These procurement contracts are created in compliance with applicable Minnesota Municipal Contracting Laws.
A complete listing of Sourcewell cooperative procurement contracts can be found at www.sourccwell- mn.gov.
3.3 Sourcewell is a public agency governed by publicly elected officials that serve as the Sourcewell. Board of Directors. Sourcewell's Board of Directors oversees and authorizes the calls for all new proposals and holds those resulting Contracts for the benefit of its own and its Members use.
3.4 Sourcewell currently serves over 50,000 member agencies nationally. Both membership and utilization of Sourcewell contracts continue to expand, due in part to the increasing acceptance of Cooperative Purchasing throughout the government and education communities nationally.
B. JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS LAWS
3.5 Sourcewell cooperatively shares those contracts with its Members nationwide through various Joint Exercise of Powers Laws or Cooperative Purchasing Statutes established in Minnesota, other states and Canadian provinces. The Minnesota Joint Exercise of Powers Law is Minnesota Statute §471.59 which states "Two or more governmental units...may jointly or cooperatively exercise any power common to the contracting parties..." This Minnesota Statute allows Sourcewell to serve Member agencies located in all other states. Municipal agencies nationally can participate in cooperative purchasing activities under their own state law. These laws can be found on our website at www.sourcewell-mn.gov/compliance-legal .
3.5.1 For Members within the Commonwealth of Virginia, this RFP is intended to be a "joint procurement agreement" as described in Vir. Code § 2.2-4304(A), and those Virginia Members identified in Appendix C may agree to be a Joint Purchaser under this RFP.
3.5.2 For Members within Canada, this RFP is intended to include municipalities and publicly - funded academic institutions, schools boards, health authorities, and social services (MASH Exhibit 2 505 4
sectors). In addition this RFP is intended to include current and potential Members of the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA), and their represented Associations (SARM, SUMA and AMM).
C. WHY RESPOND TO A NATIONAL COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT CONTRACT
3.6 National Cooperative Procurement Contracts create value for Municipal and Public Agencies, as well. as for Vendors of products/equipment and services in a variety of ways:
3.6.1 National cooperative contracts potentially save time and effort for municipal and public agencies, who otherwise would have to solicit vendor responses to individual RFPs, resulting in individual contracts, to meet the procurement needs of their respective agencies. Considerable time and effort is also potentially saved by the Vendors who would have had to otherwise respond to each of those individual RFPs. A single, nationally advertised RFP, resulting in a single, national cooperative contract can potentially replace thousands of individual RFPs for the same equipment/products/services that might have been otherwise advertised by individual Sourcewell member agencies.
3.6.2 Sourcewell contracts offer our Members nationally leveraged volume purchasing discounts.
Our contract terms and conditions offer the opportunity for Vendors to recognize individual member procurement volume commitment through additional volume based contract discounts.
3.7 State laws that permit or encourage cooperative purchasing contracts do so with the belief that cooperative efficiencies will result in lower prices, better overall value, and considerable time savings.
3.8 The collective purchasing power of thousands of Sourcewell Member agencies nationwide offers the opportunity for volume pricing discounts. Although no sales or sales volume is guaranteed by a Sourcewell Contract resulting from this RFP, substantial volume is anticipated and volume pricing is requested and justified.
3.9 Sourcewell and its Members desire the best value for their procurement dollar as well as a competitive price. Vendors have the opportunity to display and highlight value-added attributes of their company, equipment/products and services without constraints of a typical individual proposal process.
U. T INTENT OF THIS RFP
3.10. National contract awarded by Sourcewell: Sourcewell seeks the most responsive and responsible Vendor relationship(s) to reflect the best interests of Sourcewell and its Member agencies. Through a competitive proposal and evaluation process, the Sourcewell Proposal Evaluation Committee recommends vendors for a national contract awarded by the action of the Sourcewell Chief Procurement Officer. Sourcewell's primary intent is to establish and provide a national cooperative procurement contract that offer opportunities for Sourcewell and our current and potential Member agencies throughout the United States and Canada to procure quality product/equipment and services as desired and needed. The contracts will be marketed nationally through a cooperative effort between the awarded vendor(s) and Sourcewell. Contracts are expected to offer price levels reflective of the potential and collective volume of Sourcewell and the nationally established Sourcewell membership base.
3.11 Beyond our primary intent, Sourcewell further desires to:
3.11.1 Award a four-year contract with a fifth -year contract option resulting from this RFP. Any fifth -year extension is exercised at Sourcewell's discretion and results from. Sourcewell's contracting needs or from Member requests; this extension is not intended merely to accommodate an awarded Vendor's request. If Sourcewell grants a fifth -year extension, it may also terminate the contract (or cause it to expire) within the fifth year if the extended Exhibit 2 506 5
contract is replaced by a resolicited or newly solicited contract. In exigent circumstances, Sourcewell may petition Sourcewell's Board of Directors to extend the contract term beyond five years. This rarely used procedure should be employed only to avoid a gap in contract coverage while a replacement contract is being solicited;
3.11.2 Offer and apply any applicable technological advances throughout the term of a contract resulting from this RFP;
3.11.3 Deliver "Value Added" aspects of the company, equipment/products and services as defined in the "Proposer's Response";
3.11.4 Deliver a wide spectrum of solutions to meet the needs and requirements of Sourcewell and Sourcewell Member agencies; and
3.11.5 Award an exclusive contract to the most responsive and responsible vendor when it is deemed to be in the best interest of Sourcewell and the Sourcewell Member agencies.
3.12 Exclusive or Multiple Awards: Based on the scope of this RFP and on the responses received, Sourcewell may award either an exclusive contract or multiple contracts. In some circumstances, a single national supplier may best meet the needs of Sourcewell Members; in other situations, multiple vendors may be in the best interests of Sourcewell and the Sourcewell Members and preferred by Sourcewell to provide the widest array of solutions to meet the member agency's needs. Sourcewell retains sole discretion to determine which approach is in the best interests of Sourcewell Member agencies.
3.13 Non -Manufacturer Awards: Sourcewell reserves the right to make an award under this RFP to a non -manufacturer or dealer/distributor if such action is in the best interests of Sourcewell and its Members.
3.14 Manufacturer as a Proposer: If the Proposer is a manufacturer or wholesale distributor, the response received will be evaluated on the basis of a response made in conjunction with that manufacturer's authorized dealer network. Unless stated otherwise, a manufacturer or wholesale distributor Proposer is assumed to have a documented relationship with their dealer network where that dealer network is informed of, and authorized to accept, purchase orders pursuant to any Contract resulting from this RFP on behalf of the manufacturer or wholesale distributor Proposer. Any such dealer will be considered a sub -contractor of the Proposer/Vendor. The relationship between the manufacturer and wholesale distributor Proposer and its dealer network may be proposed at the time of the submission if that fact is properly identified.
3.15 Dealer/Reseller as a Proposer: If the Proposer is a dealer or reseller of the products and/or services being proposed, the response will be evaluated based on the Proposer's authorization to provide those products and services from their manufacturer. When requested by Sourcewell, Proposers must document their authority to offer those products and/or services.
E. SCOPE OF THIS RFP
3.16 Scope: The scope of this RFP is to award a contract to a qualifying vendor defined as a manufacturer, provider, or dealer/distributor, established as a Proposer, and deemed responsive and responsible through our open and competitive proposal process.

3.18 Overlap of Scope: When considering equipment/products/services, or groups of equipment/ products/services submitted as a part of your response, and whether inclusion of such will fall within a "Scope of Proposal," please consider the validity of an inverse statement.

3.18.2 In contrast, computers (PCs and peripherals) can generally be considered office supplies; however, the scope of office supplies does not generally include computer servers and infrastructure.
3.18.3 In conclusion: With this in mind, individual products and services must be examined individually by Sourcewell, from time to time and in its sole discretion, to determine their compliance and fall within the original "Scope" as intended by Sourcewell.
3.19 Best and Most Responsive — Responsible Proposer: It is the intent of Sourcewell to award a Contract to the best and most responsible and responsive Proposer(s) offering the best overall quality and selection.
Exhibit 2 508 7
of equipment/products and services meeting the commonly requested specifications of Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members, provided the Proposer's Response has been submitted in accordance with the requirements of this RFP. Qualifying Proposers who are able to anticipate the current and future needs and requirements of Sourcewell and Sourcewell member agencies; demonstrate the knowledge of any and all applicable industry standards, laws and regulations; and possess the willingness and ability to distribute, market to and service Sourcewell Members in all 50 states are preferred. Sourcewell requests proposers submit their entire line of products and services as it applies and relates to the scope of this RFP.
3.20 Sealed Proposals: Sourcewell will receive sealed proposal responses to this RFP in accordance with accepted standards set forth in the Minnesota Procurement Code and Uniform Municipal Contracting Law.
Awards may be made to responsible and responsive Proposers whose proposals are detennined in writing to be the most advantageous to Sourcewell and its current or qualifying future Sourcewell Member agencies.
3.21 Use of Contract: Any Contract resulting from this solicitation shall be awarded with the understanding that it is for the sole convenience of Sourcewell and its Members. Sourcewell and/or its members reserve the right to obtain like equipment/products and services solely from this contract or from another contract source of their choice or from a contract resulting from their own procurement process.
3.22 Awarded Vendor's interest in a contract resulting from this RFP: Awarded Vendors will be able to offer to Sourcewell, and current and potential Sourcewell Members, only those products/equipment and services specifically awarded on their Sourcewell Awarded Contract(s). Awarded Vendors may not offer as "contract compliant," products/equipment and services which are not specifically identified and priced in their Sourcewell Awarded Contract.
3.23 Sole Source of Responsibility- Sourcewell desires a "Sole Source of Responsibility" Vendor. This means that the Vendor will take sole responsibility for the performance of delivered equipment/products/ services. Sourcewell also desires sole responsibility with regard to:
3.23.1 Scope of Equipment/Products/Services: Sourcewell desires a provider for the broadest possible scope of products/equipment and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross-section of Sourcewell current and potential Members.
3.23.2 Vendor use of sub -contractors in sourcing or delivering equipment/product/services:
Sourcewell desires a single source of responsibility for equipment/products and services proposed.
Proposers are assumed to have sub -contractor relationships with all organizations and individuals whom are external to the Proposer and are involved in providing or delivering the equipment/products/services being proposed. Vendor assumes all responsibility for the equipment/products/services and actions of any such Sub -Contractor. Suggested Solutions Options include:
3.23.3 Multiple solutions to the needs of Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members are possible.
Examples could include:
3.23.3.1 Equipment/Products Only Solution: Equipment/Products Only Solution may be appropriate for situations where Sourcewell or Sourcewell Members possess the ability, either in-house or through local third party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation those equipment/products being proposed.
3.23.3.2 Turn -Key Solutions: A Turn -Key Solution is a combination of equipment/products and services that provides a single price for equipment/products, delivery, and installation to a properly operating status. Generally this is the most desirable solution because Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members may not possess, or desire to Exhibit 2 509 8
engage, personnel with the necessary expertise to complete these tasks internally or through other independent contractors.
3.23.3.3 Good, Better, Best: Where appropriate and properly identified, Proposers may offer the choice "of good, better, best" multiple -grade solutions to meet Sourcewell Members' needs.
3.23.3.4 Proven — Accepted — Leading -Edge Technology: Where appropriate and properly identified, Proposers may provide a spectrum of technology solutions to complement or enhance the proposed solutions to meet Sourcewell Members' needs.
3.23.4 If applicable, Contracts will be awarded to Proposer(s) able to deliver a proposal meeting the entire needs of Sourcewell and its Members within the scope of this RFP. Sourcewell prefers Proposers submit their complete product line of products and services described in the scope of this RFP. Sourcewell reserves the right to reject individual, or groupings of specific equipment/products and services proposals as a part of the award.
3.24 Geographic Area to be Proposed: This RFP invites proposals to provide MEDIUM DUTY AND
COMPACT CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT WITH RELATED ATTACHMENTS, ACCESSORIES, AND SUPPLIES to Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members throughout the entire United States and possibly internationally. Proposers will be expected to express willingness to explore service to Sourcewell Members located abroad; however the lack of ability to serve Members outside of the United States will not be cause for non -award. The ability and willingness to serve Canada, for instance, will be viewed as a value-added attribute.
3.25 Contract Term: At Sourcewell's option, a Contract resulting from this RFP will become effective either on the date awarded by the Sourcewell Executive Director and Chief Procurement Officer or on the day following the expiration date of an existing Sourcewell procurement contract for the same or similar product/equipment and services.
3.25.1 Sourcewell is seeking a Contract base term of four years as allowed by Minnesota Contracting Law. Full term is expected. However, one additional one-year renewal/extension may be offered by Sourcewell to Vendor beyond the original four year term if Sourcewell deems such action to be in the best interests of Sourcewell and its Members. Sourcewell reserves the right to conduct periodic business reviews throughout the term of the contract.
3.26 Minimum Contract Value: Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity resulting from this RFP and subsequent award; however, no commitment of any kind is made concerning actual quantities to be acquired. Sourcewell does not guarantee usage. Usage will depend on the actual needs of the Sourcewell Members and the value of the awarded contract.
3.27 [This section is intentionally blank.]
3.28 Contract Availability: This Contract must be available to all current and potential Sourcewell Members who choose to utilize this Sourcewell Contract to include all governmental and public agencies, public and private primary and secondary education agencies, and all non-profit organizations nationally.

3.30.1 Deviations from industry standards must be identified by the Proposer and explained how, in their opinion, the equipment/products and services they propose will render equivalent functionality, coverage, performance, and/or related services. Failure to detail all such. deviations may comprise sufficient grounds for rejection of the entire proposal.
3.30.2 Technical Descriptions/Specifications. Excessive technical descriptions and specifications that unduly enlarge the proposal response may cause Sourcewell to reduce the evaluation points awarded on Form G. Proposers must supply sufficient information to:
3.30.2.1 demonstrate the Proposer's knowledge of industry standards and Member agency needs and expectations;
3.30.2.2 Identify the equipment/products and services being proposed as applicable to the needs and expectations of Sourcewell Member agencies; and
3.30.2.3 differentiate equipment/products and services from other industry manufacturers and providers.
3.31 New Current Model Equipment/Products: Proposals submitted shall be for new, current model equipment/products and services with the exception of certain close-out products allowed to be offered on the Proposer's "Hot List" described herein.
3.32 Compliance with laws and standards: All items supplied on this Contract shall comply with any current applicable safety or regulatory standards or codes.
3.33 Delivered and operational: Products/equipment offered herein are to be proposed based upon being delivered and operational at the Sourcewell Member's site. Exceptions to "delivered and operational" must be clearly disclosed in the "Total Cost of Acquisition" section of the proposal.
3.34 Warranty: The Proposer warrants that all products, equipment, supplies, and services delivered under this Contract shall be covered by the industry standard or better warranty. All products and equipment should carry a minimum industry standard manufacturer's warranty that includes materials and labor. The Proposer has the primary responsibility to submit product specific warranty as required and accepted by industry standards. Dealer/Distributors agree to assist the purchaser in reaching a solution in a dispute over warranty's terms with the manufacturer. Any manufacturer's warranty that is effective past the expiration of the warranty will be passed on to the Sourcewell member. Failure to submit a minimum warranty may result in non -award.
3.35 Additional Warrants: The Proposer warrants that all products/equipment and related services furnished hereunder will be free from liens and encumbrances; defects in design, materials, and Exhibit 2 511 10
workmanship; and will conform in all respects to the terms of this RFP including any specifications or standards. In addition, Proposer/Vendor warrants the products/equipment and related services are suitable for and will perform in accordance with the ordinary use for which they are intended.
G. SOLUTIONS -BASED SOLICITATION
3.36 The Sourcewell solicitation and contract award process is not based on detailed specifications. Instead, this RFP is a "Solutions -Based Solicitation." Sourcewell expects respondents to understand and anticipate the current and future needs of Sourcewell and its members within the scope of this RFP and to propose solutions that are commonly desired or required by law or industry standards. Proposal will be evaluated in part on your demonstrated ability to meet or exceed the needs and requirements of Sourcewell and our member agencies within the defined scope of this RFP.
3.37 While Sourcewell does not typically provide product and service specifications, the RFP may contain scope refinements and industry -specific questions. Where specific items are specified, those items should be considered the minimum required, which the proposal can exceed in order to meet Members' needs.

OClNG
5_1 Sourcewell requests that potential Proposers respond to this RFP only if they are able to offer a wide array of products and services at lower prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to a single government agency, a school district, or a regional cooperative.
5.2 This RFP requests pricing for an indefinite quantity of products or related services with potential national sales distribution and service. While most RFP categories represent significant sales opportunities, Sourcewell makes no guarantees about the quantity of products or services that members will purchase.
The estimated annual value of this contract is $50 Million.
Vendors are expected to anticipate additional volume through potential government, educational, and not - for -profit agencies that would find value in a national contract awarded by Sourcewell.
5.3 Regardless of the payment method selected by Sourcewell or an Sourcewell member, the total cost associated with any purchase option of the products and services must always be disclosed in the proposal and at the time of purchase.
5.4 All proposers must submit "Primary Pricing" in the form of either "Line -Item Pricing," or "Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing," or a combination of these pricing strategies. Proposers are also encouraged to offer optional pricing strategies such as "Hot List," "Sourced Products," and "Volume Discounts," as well as financing options such as leasing. All pricing documents should include a clear effective date.
A. LINE -ITEM PRICING
Exhibit 2
51514
5.5 Line -item pricing is a pricing format in which individual products or services are offered at specific Contract prices. Products or services are individually priced and described by characteristics such as manufacture naive, stock or part number, size, or functionality. This method of pricing may offer the least amount of confusion, but Proposers with a large number of items may find this method cumbersome. In these situations, a percentage discount from catalog or category pricing model may make more sense and may increase the clarity of the contract pricing format.
5.6 All line -item pricing items must be numbered, organized, sectioned (including SKUs, when applicable), and prepared to be easily understood by the Evaluation Committee and members.
5.7 Submit Line -Item Pricing items in an Excel spreadsheet format and include all appropriate identification information necessary to discern the line item from other line items in each Responder's proposal.
5.8 Line -item pricing must be submitted to Sourcewell in a searchable spreadsheet format (e.g., Microsoft® Excel®) in order to facilitate quickly finding any particular item of interest. For that reason, Proposers are responsible for providing the appropriate product and service identification information along with the pricing information that is typically found on an invoice or price quote for such product or services.
5.9 All products or services typically appearing on an invoice or price quote must be individually priced and identified on the line -item price sheet, including any and all ancillary costs.
5.10 Proposers should provide both a published "List Price" as well as a "Proposed Contract Price" in their pricing matrix. Published List Price will be the standard "quantity of one" price currently available to government and educational customers, excluding cooperative and volume discounts.
B. PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT FROM CATALOG OR CATEGORY
5.11 This pricing model involves a specific percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services being proposed.
5.12 Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings.
5.13 A percentage discount from MSRP may be applied to all elements identified in MSRP, including all manufacturer options applicable to the products or services.
5.14 When a Proposer elects to use "Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category," Proposer 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.
C, COST PLUS A PERCENTAGE OF COST
5.15 "Cost plus a percentage of cost" as a primary pricing mechanism is not desirable. It is, however, acceptable for pricing sourced goods or services.
D. HOT LIST PRICING
5.16 Where applicable, a Vendor may opt to offer a specific selection of products or services, defined as "Hot List" pricing, at greater discounts than those listed in the standard Contract pricing. All product and service pricing, including the Hot List Pricing, must be submitted electronically in a format that is acceptable to Sourcewell. Hot List pricing must be submitted in a line -item format. Products and services may be added or removed from the Hot List at any time through an Sourcewell Price and Product Change Form.
Exhibit 2 51615
5.17 Hot List program and pricing may also be used to discount and liquidate close-out and discontinued products and services as long as those close-out and discontinued items are clearly labeled as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. This option must be published and made available to all Sourcewell Members.
E. CEILING PRICE
5.18 Proposal pricing is to be established as a ceiling price. At no time may the proposed products or services be offered under this Contract at prices above this ceiling price without a specific request and approval by Sourcewell. Contract prices may be reduced at any time, for example, to reflect volume discounts or to meet the needs of an Sourcewell Member.
5.19 [This section is intentionally blank.]
F. VOLUME PRICE DISCOUNTS / ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES
5.20 through 5.23 [These sections are intentionally blank.] G. TOTAL COST OF ACQUISITION
5.24 The Total Cost of Acquisition for the equipment/products and related services being proposed, including those payable by Sourcewell Members to either the Proposer or a third party, is the cost of the proposed equipment/products product/equipment and related services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the end -user's location. For example, if you are proposing equipment/products FOB Proposer's dock, your proposal should reflect that the contract pricing does not provide for delivery beyond Proposer's dock, nor any set-up activities or costs associated with those delivery or set-up activities. Any additional costs for delivery and set-up should be clearly disclosed. In contrast, a proposal could state that there are no additional costs of acquisition if the product is delivered to and operational at the end -user's location.
H. SOURCED GOOD or OPEN MARKET ITEM
5.25 A Sourced Good or an Open Market Item is a product that a member wants to buy under contract that is not currently available under the Vendor's Sourcewell contract. This method of procurement can be satisfied through a contract sourcing process. Sourcing options serve to provide a more complete contract solution to meet our members' needs. Sourced items are generally deemed incidental to the total transaction or purchase of contract items.
5.26 Sourcewell or Sourcewell Members may request products, equipment, and related services that are within the related scope of this RFP, even if they are not included in an awarded Vendor's line -item price list or catalog. These items are known as Sourced Goods or Open Market Items.
5.27 An awarded Vendor may source such items to the extent that the items are identified as "Sourced Products/Equipment" or "Open Market Items" on any quotation issued in reference to an Sourcewell awarded contract, and that this information is provided to either Sourcewell or an Sourcewell Member.
Sourcewell is not responsible for determining whether a Sourced Good is an incidental portion of the overall purchase or whether a Member is able to consider a Sourced Good a purchase under a Sourcewell contract.
5.28 "Cost plus a percentage" pricing is an acceptable option in pricing of Sourced Goods.
I. PRODUCT & PRICE CHANGES
5.29 Awarded Vendors may request product or service changes, additions, or deletions at any time throughout the contract teini. All requests must be made in written format by completing the Sourcewell Price and Product Change Request Form (located at the end of this RFP and on the Sourcewell website), Exhibit 2 51716
signed by an authorized Vendor representative. A11 changes are subject to review and approval by Sourcewell. Submit your requests through email to your assigned Contract Manager and to [email protected].
5.30 Sourcewell will determine whether the request is both within the scope of the original RFP and in the best interests of Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members. Approved Price and Product Change Request Forms will be returned to the Vendor contact through email.
5.31 The Vendor must 1) complete this change request form and individually list or attach all items subject to change, 2) provide a sufficiently detailed explanation and documentation for the change, and 3) include a compete restatement of pricing document in appropriate format (preferably Excel). The pricing document must identify all products and services being offered and must conform to the following Sourcewell product and price change naming convention: (Vendor Name) (Sourcewell Contract #) (effective pricing date); for example, "COMPANY 012411-CPY effective 02-12-2016."
5.32 The new pricing restatement must include all products and services offered, even for those items whose pricing remains unchanged, and must include a new effective date on the pricing documents. This requirement reduces confusion by providing a single, current pricing sheet for each vendor and creates a historical record of pricing.
5.33 ADDITIONS. New products and related services may be added to a Contract resulting from this RFP at any time during that Contract term to the extent that those products and related services are within the scope of this RFP. Allowable new products and related services generally include updated models of products and enhanced services that reflect new technology and improved functionality.
5.34 DELETIONS. New products and related services may be deleted from a contract if an item is no longer available.
5.35 PRICE CHANGES. A Vendor may request pricing changes by providing reasonable justification for the change. For example, a request for a 3% increase in a product line that relies heavily on petroleum products may be reasonable if the raw cost of required petroleum products has increased substantially.
Conversely, a request for a 3% increase in prices based only on a 3% increase in a cost -of -living index may be considered unreasonable. Although Sourcewell is sensitive to the possibility of fluctuations in raw material costs, prospective Vendors should make every reasonable attempt to account for normal cost changes by proposing pricing that will be effective throughout the duration of the four-year Contract.
5.35.1 Price decreases: Sourcewell expects Vendors to propose their very best prices and anticipates price reductions that are due to advancement in technology and marketplace efficiencies.
5.35.2 Price increases: A Vendor must include reasonable documentation for price -increase requests, along with both current and proposed pricing. Appropriate documentation should be attached to the Price and Product Change Request Form, including letters from suppliers announcing price increases. Price increases must not exceed the industry standard.
5.36 through 5.37 [These sections are intentionally blank.]
5.38 Proposers representing multiple manufacturers, or carrying multiple related product lines may also request the addition of new manufacturers or product lines to their Contract to the extent they remain within the scope of this RFP.
5.39 through 5.43 [These sections are intentionally blank.] K. SALES TAX
Exhibit 2 51817
5.44 Sales and other taxes should not be included in the prices quoted. The Vendor will charge state and local sales and other applicable taxes on items for which a valid tax -exemption certification has not been provided. Each Sourcewell Member is responsible for providing verification of tax-exempt status to the Vendor. When ordering, Sourcewell Members must indicate that they are tax-exempt entities. Except as set forth herein, no party is responsible for taxes imposed on another party as a result of or arising from the transactions under a Contract resulting from this RFP.
L. SHIPPING
5.45 Shipping costs can constitute a significant portion of the overall cost of procurement. Consequently, significant weight will be given to the quality of a prospective Vendor's shipping program. Shipping charges should reasonably reflect the actual cost of shipping. Sourcewell understands that Vendors may use other shipping cost methods for simplicity or for transparency. But to the extent that shipping costs are determined to disproportionately increase a Vendor's profit, Sourcewell may reduce the points awarded in the "Pricing" criteria.
5.46 through 5.47 [These sections are intentionally blank.]
5.48 All shipping and restocking fees must be identified in the price program. Certain industries providing made-to-order products may not allow returns. Proposals will be evaluated not only on the actual costs of shipping, but on the relative flexibility extended to Sourcewell Members relating to restocking fees, shipping errors, customized shipping requirements, the process for rejecting damaged or delayed shipments, and similar subjects.
5.49 through 5.50 [These sections are intentionally blank.]
5.51 Delivered products must be properly packaged. Damaged products may be rejected. If the damage is not readily apparent at the time of delivery, the Vendor must permit the products to be returned within a reasonable time at no cost to Sourcewell or Sourcewell Members. Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members reserve the right to inspect the products at a reasonable time subsequent to delivery where circumstances or conditions prevent effective inspection of the products at the time of delivery.
5.52 The Vendor must deliver Contract -conforming products in each shipment and may not substitute products without the express approval from Sourcewell or the Sourcewell Member.
5.53 Sourcewell reserves the right to declare a breach of Contract if the Vendor intentionally delivers substandard or inferior products that are not under Contract and described in its paper or electronic price lists or sourced upon request of any Member under this Contract. In the event of the delivery of nonconforming products, the Sourcewell Member will notify the Vendor as soon as possible and the Vendor will replace nonconforming products with conforming products that are acceptable to the Sourcewell member.
534 Throughout the term of the Contract, Proposer agrees to pay for return shipment on products that arrive in a defective or inoperable condition. Proposer must arrange for the return shipment of the damaged products.
EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS
A. PROPOSAL EVALUATION PROCESS
6.1 The Sourcewell proposal evaluation committee will evaluate proposals received based on a 1,000 point evaluation system. The committee establishes both the evaluation criteria and designates the relative weight of each criterion by assigning possible scores for each category on Form G of this RFP. The committee Exhibit 2
51918
may adjust the relative weight of the criteria for each RFP. (For example, if the "Warranty" criterion does not apply to a particular RFP, the points normally awarded under "Warranty" may be used to increase the number of potential points in another evaluation category or categories.) The "Pricing" criterion will contain at least a plurality of points for every RFP.
6.2 Sourcewell uses a scoring system that gives primary importance to "Pricing." But pricing includes more than just the absolute lowest initial cost of purchasing, for example, a particular product. Other considerations include the total cost of the acquisition and whether the Proposer's offering represents the best value. The evaluation committee may consider such factors as life -cycle costs, total cost of ownership, quality, and the suitability of an offering in meeting Sourcewell Members' needs. Pricing points may be awarded based on pricing clarity and ease of use. Sourcewell may also award points based on whether a response contains exceptions, exclusions, or limitations of liabilities. 6_3 The Sourcewell Executive Director and Chief Procurement Officer will consider making awards to the selected Proposer(s) based on the recommendations of the proposal evaluation committee. To qualify for the final evaluation, a Proposer must have been deemed responsive as a result of the criteria set forth under "Proposer Responsiveness," found just below.
B. PROPOSER RESPONSIVENESS
6.4 A11 responses are evaluated for Level -One and Level -Two Responsiveness. If a response does not substantially conform to substantially all of the terms and conditions in the solicitation, or if it requires unreasonable exceptions, it may be considered nonresponsive.
6.5 All proposals must contain suitable responses to the questions in the proposal forms. The following requirements must be satisfied in order to meet Level -One Responsiveness, which is typically ascertained on the proposal opening date. If these standards are not met, your response may be disqualified as nonresponsive.
6.6 Level -One Responsiveness means that the response
6.6.1 is received before the deadline for submission or it will be returned unopened;
6.6.2 is properly addressed and identified as a sealed proposal with a specific RFP number and an opening date and time;
6.6.3 contains a pricing document (with apparent discounts) and all other forms fully completed, even if "not applicable" is the answer;
6.6.4 includes the original (hard copy) completed, dated, and signed RFP forms C, D, and F. In addition, the response must include the hard -copy signed signature page only from RFP Forms A and P and, if applicable, all signed addenda that have been issued in relation to this RFP;
6.6.5 contains an electronic (CD, flash drive, or other suitable) copy of the entire response; and
6.7 Level -Two Responsiveness (including whether the response is within the RFP's scope) is determined while evaluating the remaining items listed under Proposal Evaluation Criteria below. These items are not arranged in order of importance. Each item draws from multiple questions, and a Proposer's responses may affect scoring in multiple evaluation criteria. For example, the answers to Industry -Specific Questions may help deteiniine scoring relative to a Proposer's marketplace success, ability to sell and service nationwide, and financial strength. Any questions not answered without an explanation will likely result in a loss of points and may lead to a nonaward if the proposal evaluation committee cannot effectively review your response.

D. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
6.10 In evaluating RFP responses, Sourcewell has no obligation to consider information that is not provided in the Proposer's response. Sourcewell may, however, consider additional information outside the Proposer's response. This research may include such sources as the Proposer's website, industry publications, listed references, and user interviews.
6.11 Sourcewell may organize RFP responses into separate classes or subcategories, depending on the range of responses. For example, Sourcewell might receive numerous submissions for "Widgets and Related Products and Services." Sourcewell may organize these responses into subcategories, such as manufacturers of fully operational Widgets, manufacturers of component parts for Widgets, and providers of parts and service for Widgets. Sourcewell reserves the right to award Proposers in some or all of such subcategories without regard to the evaluation score given to Proposers in another subcategory. This specifically allows Sourcewell to award Vendors that might not have, for instance, the breadth of products of Proposers in another subcategory, but that nonetheless meet a substantial and articulated need of Sourcewell Members.
6.12 [This section is intentionally blank.]
6.13 Sourcewell reserves the right to request and test equipment/products and related services and to seek clarification from Proposers. Before the Contract award, the Proposer must furnish the requested information within three (3) days (or within another agreed -to time frame) or provide an explanation for the delay along with a requested time frame for providing the requested information. Proposers must make reasonable efforts to supply test products promptly. All Proposer products remain the property of the Proposer, and Sourcewell will return such products after the evaluation process. Sourcewell may make provisional contract awards, subject to a Proposer's proper response to a request for information or products.
6.14 A Proposer's past performance under previously awarded contracts to schools, governmental agencies, and not -for-profit entities is relevant in evaluating a Proposer's current response. Past performance includes the Proposer's record of conforming to published specifications and to standards of good workmanship, as well as the Proposer's history for reasonable and cooperative behavior and for commitment to Member Exhibit 2 52120
satisfaction. Incumbency as an awarded Vendor does not, by itself, merit positive consideration for a future Contract award.
6.15 Sourcewell reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.
E. COST COMPARISON
6.16 Sourcewell may use a variety of evaluation methods, including cost comparisons of specific products.
Sourcewell reserves the right to use this process when the proposal evaluation committee determines that this will help to make a final determination.
6.17 This direct cost comparison process will award points for being low to high Proposer for each cost evaluation item selected. A "Market Basket" of identical (or substantially similar) equipment/products and related services may be selected by the proposal evaluation committee, and the unit cost will be used as a basis for determining the point value. Sourcewell will select the "Market Basket" from all appropriate product categories as determined by Sourcewell.
MARKETING PLAN
6.18 A Proposer's marketing plan is a critical component of the RFP response. An awarded Vendor's sales force will likely be the primary source of communication with Sourcewell Members and will directly affect the contract's success. Marketing success depends on communicating the contract's value, knowing the contract thoroughly, and communicating the proper use of contracted products and services to the end user. Much of the success and sales reward is a direct result of the commitment to the contract by the awarded Vendor's sales teams. Sourcewell reserves the right to deem a Proposer Level -Two nonresponsive or not to award a contract based on an unacceptable or incomplete marketing plan.
6.19 Sourcewell marketing expectations include the following components.
6.19.1 An awarded Vendor must demonstrate the ability to deploy a national sales force or dealer network. The best RFP responses demonstrate the ability to sell, deliver, and service products through acceptable distribution channels to Sourcewell members in all 50 states. Proposers' responses should fully demonstrate their sales and service capabilities, should outline their national sales force network (both numerically geographically), and should describe their method of distribution of the offered products and related services. Service may be independent of the product sales pricing, but Sourcewell encourages related services to be a part of Proposers' response.
Despite its preference for awarding contracts to Vendors that demonstrate nationwide sales and service, Sourcewell reserves the right to award contracts that meet specific Member needs locally or regionally.
6.19.2 Proposers are invited to demonstrate their ability to successfully market, promote, and communicate the benefits of an Sourcewell contract to current and potential Members nationwide.
Sourcewell desires a marketing plan that communicates the value of the contract to as many Members as possible.
6.19.3 Proposers are expected to be receptive to Sourcewell trainings. Awarded Vendors must provide an appropriate training venue for both management and the sales force. Sourcewell commits to providing training on all aspects of communicating the value of the awarded contract, including the authority of Sourcewell to offer the contract to its Members, the value and utility the contract delivers to Sourcewell Members, the scope of Sourcewell Membership, the authority of Members to use Sourcewell procurement contracts, the preferred marketing and sales methods, and the successful use of specific business sector strategies.
6.19.4 Awarded Vendors are expected to demonstrate a commitment to fully embrace the Sourcewell contract. Proposers should identify both the appropriate levels of sales management Exhibit 2 52221
and sales force that will need to understand the value of the Sourcewell contract, as well as the internal procedures needed to deliver the appropriate messaging to Sourcewell Members.
Sourcewell will provide a general schedule and a variety of methods describing when and how those individuals should be trained.
6.193 Proposers should outline their proposed involvement in promoting a Sourcewell contract through applicable industry trade show exhibits and related customer meetings. Proposers are encouraged to consider participation with. Sourcewell at Sourcewell-endorsed national trade shows.
6.19.6 Proposers must exhibit the willingness and ability to actively market and develop contract - specific marketing materials including the following items.
6.19.6.1 Complete Marketing Plan. Proposers must submit a marketing plan outlining how they will launch the Sourcewell contract to current and potential Sourcewell Members.
Sourcewell requires awarded Vendors to embrace and actively promote the contract in cooperation with Sourcewell.
6.19.6.2 Printed Marketing Materials. Awarded Vendors will produce and maintain full. color print advertisements in camera-ready electronic format, including company logos and contact information to be used in the Sourcewell directory and other approved marketing publications.
6.19.6.3 Contract announcements and advertisements. Proposers should outline in the marketing plan their anticipated contract announcements, advertisements in industry periodicals, and other direct or indirect marketing activities promoting the awarded Sourcewell contract.
6.19.6.4 Proposer's Website. Proposers should identify how an awarded Contract will be displayed and linked on the Proposer's website. An online shopping experience for Sourcewell Members is desired whenever possible.
6.19.7 A Sourcewell Vendor contract launch will be scheduled during a reasonable time frame after the award and held at the Sourcewell office in Staples, MN unless the Vendor and Sourcewell agree to a different location.
6.20 Proposer shall identify their commitment to develop a sales/communication process to facilitate Sourcewell membership and establish status of current and potential agencies/members. Proposer should further express their commitment to capturing sufficient member information as is deemed necessary by Sourcewell.
G. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
6.21 Proposers must provide evidence of liability insurance coverage identified below in the form of a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or an ACORD binder form with their proposal. Upon an award issued under this RFP and before the execution of any commerce relating to such award, the awarded Vendor must provide verification, in the form of a Certificate of Insurance, identifying the coverage required below and identifying Sourcewell as a "Certificate Holder." The Vendor must maintain such insurance coverage at its own expense throughout the term of any contract resulting from this solicitation.
6.22 Any exceptions or assumptions to the insurance requirements must be identified on Form C of this RFP. Exceptions and assumptions will be considered as part of the evaluation process. Any exceptions or assumptions that Proposers submit must be specific. If a Proposer does not include specific exceptions or assumptions when submitting the proposal, Sourcewell will typically not consider any additional exceptions or assumptions during the evaluation process. Upon contract award, the awarded Vendor must provide the Certificate of Insurance identifying the coverage as specified.
Exhibit 2
52322
6.23 Insurance Liability Limits. The awarded Vendor must maintain, for the duration of its contract, $1.5 million in general liability insurance coverage or general liability insurance in conjunction with an umbrella for a total combined coverage of $1.5 million. Work on the Contract will not begin until after the awarded Vendor has submitted acceptable evidence of the required insurance coverage. Failure to maintain any required insurance coverage or an acceptable alternative method of insurance will be deemed a breach of contract.
6.23.1 Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. An awarded Vendor must provide coverage with limits of liability not less than those stated below. An excess liability policy or umbrella liability policy may be used to meet the minimum liability requirements provided that the coverage is written on a "following form" basis.
6.23.1.1 Commercial General Liability —Occurrence Form
Policy shall include bodily injury, property damage and broad form contractual liability and XCU coverage.
6.23.1.2 Each Occurrence $1,500,000
6.24 Insurance Requirements: The limits listed in this RFP are minimum requirements for this Contract and in no way limit any indemnity covenants contained in this Contract. Sourcewell does not warrant that the minimum limits contained herein are sufficient to protect the Vendor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the work under this Contract by the Vendor, its agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors, and the Vendor is free to purchase additional insurance as may be determined necessary.
6.25 Acceptability of Insurers: Insurance is to be placed with insurers duly licensed or authorized to do business in the State of Minnesota and with an "A.M. Best" rating of not less than A- VII. Sourcewell does not warrant that the above required minimum insurer rating is sufficient to protect the Vendor from potential insurer solvency.
6.26 Subcontractors: Vendors' certificate(s) must include all subcontractors as additional insureds under its policies, or the Vendor must furnish to Sourcewell separate certificates for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors are be subject to the minimum requirements identified above.
ORDER PROCESS AND/OR FUNDS FLOW
6.27 Sourcewell Members typically issue a purchase order directly to a Vendor under a Contract resulting from this RFP. Alternatively, a separate contract may be created to facilitate acquiring products or services offered in response to this RFP. Nothing in this Contract restricts the Member and Vendor from agreeing to add terms or conditions to a purchase order or a separate contract provided that such terms or conditions must not be less favorable to Sourcewell's Members.
6.28 [This section is intentionally blank.]
I. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
6.29 Vendors will pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating this Contract with its current and potential Members. Sourcewell may grant a conditional contract award to a Proposer if the proposed administrative fee is unclear, inadequate, or unduly burdensome for Sourcewell to administer. Sales under this Contract should not be processed until the parties resolve the administrative fee issue.
Exhibit 2 52423
6.29.1 The administrative fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the dollar volume of all products and services by Sourcewell Members under this Contract, including anything represented to Sourcewell Members as falling under this Contract.
6.29.2 The administrative fee is included in, and not added to, the pricing included in Proposer's response to the RFP. Awarded Vendors must not charge Sourcewell Members more that permitted in the then current price list in order to offset the administrative fee.
6.29.3 The administrative fee is designed to cover the costs of Sourcewell's involvement in contract management, facilitating marketing efforts, Vendor training, and any order processing tasks relating to the Contract. Administrative fees may also be used for other purposes as allowed by Minnesota law.
6.29.4 The typical administrative fee under this Contract is two percent (2%). While Sourcewell does not dictate the particular fee percentage, we require that the Proposer articulate a specific fee in its response. For example, merely stating that "we agree to pay an administrative fee" is considered nonresponsive. Sourcewell acknowledges that the administrative fee percentage may differ between vendors, industries, and responses.
6.29.5 Sourcewell awarded Vendors are responsible for paying the administrative fee at least quarterly and for generating all related reporting. Vendors agree to cooperate with Sourcewell in auditing these reports to ensure that the administrative fee is paid on all items purchased under the Contract.
6.29.6 [This section is intentionally blank.]
6.30 through 6.32 [This section is intentionally blank.] J. VALUE-ADDED ATTRIBUTES
6.33 Desirability of Value -Added Attributes: Value-added attributes in an RFP response will be given positive consideration in Sourcewell's evaluation process. Such attributes may increase the benefit of a product or service by improving functionality, performance, maintenance, manufacturing, delivery, energy efficiency, ordering, or other items while remaining within the scope of this RFP.
6.34 Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE), Small Business, and Other Favored Businesses: Some Sourcewell Members give formal preference to certain types of vendors or contractors.
Proposers should document WMBE (or other) status for both their organization and for any affiliates (e.g., supplier networks) involved in fulfilling the terms of this RFP. The ability of a Proposer to provide preferred business entity "credits" to Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members under a Contract will be evaluated positively by Sourcewell and reflected in the "value added" area of the evaluation.
6.35 Environmentally Preferred Purchasing Opportunities: Many Sourcewell Members consider the environmental impact of the products and services they purchase. "Green" characteristics demonstrated by Proposers will be evaluated positively by Sourcewell and reflected in the "value added" area of the evaluation. Please identify any green characteristics of any offering in your proposal and identify the sanctioning body determining that characteristic. Where appropriate, please indicate which products have been certified as green and by which certifying agency.
6.36 Online Requisitioning Systems: When applicable, online requisitioning systems will be viewed as a value-added characteristic. Proposers should demonstrate how their system makes online ordering easier for Sourcewell Members, including how Members could integrate their current e -Procurement or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems into the Proposer's ordering process.
Exhibit 2
52524
6.37 Financing: The ability of the Proposer to provide financing solutions to Members for the products and services being proposed will be viewed as a value-added attribute.
6.38 Technology: Technological advances that appreciably improve the proposed products or services will be considered value-added attributes.
K. WAIVER OF FORMALITIES
6.39 Sourcewell reserves the right to waive minor formalities (or to accept minor irregularities) in any proposal, when it determines that considering the proposal may be in the best interest of its Members.
PSF-AWARD OPERA HNC ISSUES
A. SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS
7.1 Purchase Order. Purchase orders for products and services may be executed between Sourcewell Members and the awarded Vendor (or Vendor's sub -contractors) under this Contract. Sourcewell Members and Vendors must indicate on the face of such purchase orders that "This purchase order is issued under Sourcewell contract #XXXXXX" (insert the relevant contract number). Purchase order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and an awarded Vendor after an award is made.
7.2 Governing Law. Purchase orders must be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of a competent jurisdiction with respect to the Member. (See also Section 8.5 of this RFP.) All provisions required by law to be included in the purchase order should be read and enforced as if they were included.
If through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not included, then upon application of either party the Contract shall be physically amended to make such inclusion or correction. The venue for any litigation arising out of disputes related to purchase order will be a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the Member.
7.3 Additional Terms and Conditions. Additional terms and conditions to a purchase order may be proposed by Sourcewell, Sourcewell Members, or Vendors. Acceptance of these additional terms and conditions is optional to all parties to the purchase order. One purpose of these additional terms and conditions is to address job- or industry -specific requirements of law such as prevailing wage legislation.
Additional terms and conditions may also include specific local policy requirements and standard business practices of the issuing Member or the Vendor. Such additional terms and conditions are not considered valid to the extent that they interfere with the general purpose, intent, or currently established terms and conditions contain in this RFP document. For example, a Vendor and Member may agree to add a "net 30" payment requirement to the purchase order instead of applying a "net 10" requirement. But the added terms and conditions must not be less favorable to the Member unless Sourcewell, the Member, and the Vendor agree to a Contract amendment or similar modification.
7.4 Specialized Service Requirements. In the event that the Sourcewell Member desires service requirements or specialized performance requirements (such as e -commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and requirements) not addressed in the Contract resulting from this RFP, the Sourcewell Member and the Vendor may enter into a separate, standalone agreement, apart from a Contract resulting from this RFP. Any proposed service requirements or specialized performance requirements require pre -approval by the Vendor. Any separate agreement developed to address these specialized service or performance requirements is exclusively between the Sourcewell Member and Vendor. Sourcewell, its agents, and employees shall not be made a party to any claim for breach of such agreement. Product sourcing is not considered a service. Sourcewell Members will need to conduct procurements for any specialized services not identified as a part of or within the scope of the awarded Contract.
7_5 Performance Bond. At the request of the Member, a Vendor will provide all performance bonds typically and customarily required in their industry. These bonds will be issued pursuant to the Exhibit 2 52625
requirements of purchase orders for products and services. If a purchase order is cancelled for lack of a required performance bond by the member agency, Sourcewell recommends that the current pending purchase order be canceled. Each Member has the final decision on purchase order continuation. Any performance bonding required by the Member, the Member's state laws, or by local policy is to be mutually agreed upon and secured between the Vendor and the Member.
7.6 Asset Management Contracts: Asset Management -type Contracts can be initiated under a Contract resulting from this RFP at any time during the term of this Contract. Such a contract could involve, for example, picking up, storing, repairing, inventorying, salvaging, and delivery products falling within the scope of this Contract. The intention in using Asset Management Contracts is to promote the long-term efficiency of Sourcewell's contracts by (among other things) extending the use and re -use of products.
Asset Management Contracts cannot be created under this Contract unless they are executed within the authorized term of a Contract resulting from this RFP. The actual term of the Asset Management Contract may, however, extend beyond the expiration date of this Contract.
B. SOURCEWELL MEMBER SIGN-UP PROCEDURE
7.7 Awarded Vendors are responsible for familiarizing their sales and service forces with the various forms of Sourcewell membership documentation and will encourage and assist potential Members in establishing membership with Sourcewell. Sourcewell membership is available at no cost, obligation, or liability to the Member or the Vendor.
C. REPORTING OF SALES ACTIVITY
7.8 Awarded Vendors must report at least quarterly the total gross dollar volume of all products and services purchased by Sourcewell Members as it applies to this RFP and Contract. This report must include the name and address of the purchasing agency, Member number, amount of purchase, and a description of the items purchased.
7.8.1 Zero sales reports: Awarded Vendors must provide a quarterly Contract sales report regardless of the amount of sales.
D. AUDITS
7.9 Sourcewell relies substantially on the reasonable auditing efforts of both Members and awarded Vendors to ensure that Members are obtaining the products, services, pricing, and other benefits under all Sourcewell contracts. Nonetheless, the Vendor must retain and snake available to Sourcewell all order and invoicing documentation related to purchases that Members make from the Vendor under the awarded Contract. Sourcewell must not request such information more than once per calendar year, and Sourcewell must make such requests in writing with at least fourteen (14) days' notice. Sourcewell may employ an independent auditor at its own expense or conduct an audit on its own. In either event, the Vendor agrees to cooperate fully with Sourcewell or its agents in order to ensure compliance with this Contract.
E. HUB PARTNER
7.10 Hub Partner: Sourcewell Members may request special services through a "Hub Partner" for the purpose of complying with a law, regulation, or rule that an Sourcewell Member deems to apply in its jurisdiction. Hub Partners may bring value to the proposed transactions through consultancy, through qualifying for disadvantaged business entity credits, or through other means.
7.11 Hub Partner Fees: Sourcewell Members are responsible for any transaction fees, costs, or expenses that arise under this Contract for special service provided by the Hub Partner. The fees, costs, or expenses levied by the Hub Vendor must be clearly itemized in the transaction documentation. To the extent that the Vendor stands in the chain of title during a transaction resulting from this RFP, the documentation must clearly indicate that the transaction is "Executed for the Benefit of [Sourcewell Member name]." Exhibit 2 52726
F. TRADE-INS
7.12 The value in US Dollars for Trade-ins will be negotiated between Sourcewell or an Sourcewell Member, and an Awarded Vendor. That identified "Trade -In" value shall be viewed as a down payment and credited in full against the Sourcewell purchase price identified in a purchase order issued pursuant to any Awarded Sourcewell procurement contract. The full value of the trade-in will be consideration.
G. OUT OF STOCK NOTIFICATION
7.13 The Vendor must immediately notify Sourcewell Members when they order an out -of -stock item. The Vendor must also tell the Member when the item will be available and whether there are equivalent substitutes. The Member must have the option of accepting the suggested substitute or canceling the item from the order. Under no circumstance may the Vendor make unauthorized substitutions. Unfilled or substituted items must be indicated on the packing list.
H. CONTRACT TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND WITHOUT CAUSE
7.14 Sourcewell reserves the right to cancel all or any part of this Contract if the Vendor fails to fulfill any material obligation, term, or condition as described in the following procedure. Before any such teiniination for cause, Sourcewell will provide written notice to the Vendor, an opportunity to respond, and a reasonable opportunity to cure the breach. The following are some examples of material breaches.
7.14.1 The Vendor provides products or services that do not meet reasonable quality standards and that are not remedied under the warranty;
7.14.2 The Vendor fails to ship the products or to provide the services within a reasonable amount of time;
7.14.3 Sourcewell reasonably believes that the Vendor will not or cannot perform to the requirements or expectations of the Contract, Sourcewell issues a request for assurance, and the Vendor fails to respond;
7.14.4 The Vendor fails to fulfill any of the material terms and conditions of the Contract;
7.14.5 The Vendor fails to follow the established procedure for purchase orders, invoices, or receipt of funds as established by Sourcewell and the Vendor;
7.14.6 The Vendor fails to properly report quarterly sales;
7.14.7 The Vendor fails to actively market this Contract within the guidelines provided in this RFP and defined in the Sourcewell contract launch.
7.15 Upon receipt of the written notice of breach, the Vendor will have ten (10) business days to provide a satisfactory response to Sourcewell. If the Vendor fails to reasonably address all issues in the written notice, Sourcewell may terminate the Contract immediately. If Sourcewell allows the Vendor more time to remedy the breach, such forbearance does not limit Sourcewell's authority to immediately terminate the Contract for continued breaches for which notice was given to the Vendor. Termination of the Contract for cause does not relieve either party of the financial, product, or service obligations incurred before the termination.
7.16 Sourcewell may terminate the Contract if the Vendor files for bankruptcy protection or is acquired by an independent third party. The Vendor must disclose to Sourcewell any litigation, bankruptcy, or suspensions/disbarments that occur during the Contract period. Failure to disclose such infoiniation authorizes Sourcewell to immediately terminate the Contract.
Exhibit 2 52827
7.17 Sourcewell may terminate the Contract without cause by giving the Vendor sixty (60) days' written notice of termination. Termination of the Contract without cause does not relieve either party of the financial, product, or service obligations incurred before the termination.
7.18 Sourcewell may immediately terminate any Contract without further obligation if any Sourcewell employee significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating the Contract on behalf of Sourcewell has colluded with any Proposer for personal gain. Sourcewell may also immediately cancel a Contract if it finds that gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or given by the Vendor or any agent or representative of the Vendor, to any employee of Sourcewell. Such terminations are effective upon written notice from Sourcewell or at a later date designated in the notice.
Termination of the Contract does not relieve either party of the financial, product, or service obligations incurred before the termination.

The Proposer, or any person representing the Proposer, has not directly or indirectly entered into any agreement or arrangement with any other vendor or supplier, any official or employee of Sourcewell, or any person, firm, or corporation under contract with Sourcewell, in an effort to influence the pricing, terms, or conditions relating to this RFP in any way that adversely affects the free and open competition for a Contract award under this RFP.
3. The Proposer has examined and understands the terms, conditions, scope, contract opportunity, specifications request, and other documents in this solicitation and affirms that any and all exceptions have been noted in writing and have been included with the Proposer's RFP response.

7. The Proposer understands that Sourcewell will reject RFP proposals that are marked "confidential" (or "nonpublic," etc.), either substantially or in their entirety.

SOURCEWELL I. VENDOR PRICE AND PRODUCT CHANGE REQUEST
Section 1. Instructions for Vendor
Requests for product or service changes, additions, or deletions will be considered at any time throughout the awarded contract term. All requests must be made in writing by completing sections 2, 3, and 4 of this Sourcewell Price and Product Change Request Form and signed by an authorized Vendor representative in section 5. All changes are subject to review by the Sourcewell Procurement Manager and to approval by Sourcewell's Chief Procurement Officer. Submit request through email to your assigned Sourcewell Contract Administrator.
Sourcewell will determine whether the request is 1) within the scope of the original RFP, and 2) in the best interests of Sourcewell and Sourcewell Members. Approved Price and Product Change Request Forms will be signed and emailed to the Vendor contact.
The Vendor must complete this change request fonn and individually list or attach all items or services subject to change, must provide sufficiently detailed explanation and documentation for the change, and must include a complete restatement of pricing documentation in an appropriate format (preferably Microsoft® Excel®). The pricing document must identify all products and services being offered and must conform to the following Sourcewell product/price change naming convention: (Vendor Name) (Sourcewell. Contract #) (effective pricing date); for example, "Acme Widget Company #012416-AWC eff. 01-01-2017." NOTE: New pricing restatements must include all products and services offered regardless of whether their prices have changed and must include a new "effective date" on the pricing documents. This requirement reduces confusion by providing a single, current pricing sheet for each Vendor and creates a historical record of pricing.
ADDITIONS. New products and related services may be added to a contract if such additions are within the scope of the original RFP.
DELETIONS. New products and related services may be deleted from a contract if, for example, they are no longer available or have been modified to a point where they are outside the scope of the RFP.
PRICE CHANGES: Vendors may request price changes if they provide sufficient rationale for the change. For example, a Vendor that manufactures products that require substantial petroleum -related material might request a 3% price increase because of a 20% increase in petroleum costs.
Price decreases: Sourcewell expects Vendors to propose their very best prices and anticipates that price reductions might occur because of improved technologies or marketplace efficiencies.
Price increases: Acceptable price increases typically result from s Decific Vendor cost increases. The Vendor must include reasonable justification for the price increase and must not, or example, offer merely generalized statements about an increase in a cost -of -living index. Appropriate documentation should be attached to this form, including such items as letters from suppliers announcing price increases.
Refer to the RFP for complete "Pricing" details.

Exhibit 2 550
Section 3. Detailed Explanation of Need for Changes
List the products and/or services that are changing or being added or deleted from the previous contract price list, along with the percentage change for each item or category. (Attach a separate, detailed document if changing more than 10 items.)
Provide a general statement and documentation explaining the reasons for these price and/or product changes.
EXAMPLES.: 1) "All pricing for paper products and services are increased 5% because of increased raw material and transportation costs (see attached documentation of fuel and raw materials increase)." 2) "The 6400 series floor polisher is being added to the product list as a new model, replacing the 5400 series. The 6400 series 3% increase reflects technological changes that improve the polisher's efficiency and useful life. The 5400 series is now included in the "Hot List" at a 20% discount from the previous pricing until the remaining inventory is liquidated." If adding
products, state how these are within the scope of the original RFP.
If changing prices or adding products or services, state how the pricing is consistent with existing Sourcewell contract pricing.
