Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment with Related Equipment Cleaning

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 Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment with Related Equipment Cleaning, such as:
a. Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all types of fire and rescue service; including, but not limited to:
i. Protective Clothing;

2. This solicitation does not include those equipment, products, or services covered under categories included in pending or planned Sourcewell solicitations, or in contracts currently maintained by Sourcewell, identified below:
a. Body Armor with Related Accessories, Equipment, and Services (RFP #011221); Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #010424

Uniforms with Related Products and Services (RFP #TBD); 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-only or products-only solutions may be appropriate for situations where Participating Entities possess the ability, either in-house or through local thirdparty contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being proposed.

Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment, products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.

Sourcewell encourages suppliers to offer 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.

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #010424
Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment with Related Equipment Cleaning

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. PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT TERM
The term of any resulting contract(s) awarded by Sourcewell under this solicitation will be four years. Sourcewell and supplier may agree to up to three additional one-year extensions based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities. Sourcewell retains the right to consider additional extensions beyond seven years as required under exceptional circumstances.

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 $50 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.

G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #010424
Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment with Related Equipment Cleaning

the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.

5. 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.

6. 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 proposer’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.

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 not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.

4. Clearly understandable, 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).

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 awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #010424
Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment with Related Equipment Cleaning

calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entitiesfor 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 template Contract, a proposer must submit the Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table with its proposal. Only those exceptions noted at the time of the proposal submission will be considered.

Exceptions must:

1. Clearly identify the affected article and section.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Electric Vehicle Charge Facilities at Multiple Air Force Bases
Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF) announces the preparation and availability of a Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Charge Facilities (EVCF) Program at multiple Air Force bases (AFBs).

The PEA evaluates the following alternatives:

1. Taking no action, where DAF would not implement the EVCF Program.

2. Installation of EV Charging Stations at select sites within the following AFBs: Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington D.C., Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Maryland, Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst (JBMDL) in New Jersey, Los Angeles AFB (LAAFB) in California, Tyndall AFB (TAFB) in Florida, and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado.

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide AFBs with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to enable on-base EV usage and charging for government-owned vehicles. The Proposed Action is needed to increase the number of EV charging stations on AFBs for creating the necessary infrastructure to expand EV usage, which would minimize carbon emissions in the long-run and help DAF meet White House goals for EV usage under Executive Order (EO) 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, and EO 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.

The PEA assesses the potential impacts associated within EVCF Program implementation and provides the DAF meaningful points in agency planning and decision making on the relevant environmental information of the EVCF Program. Once a decision is made to implement at a particular installation, the DAF would conduct follow-on site-specific environmental analysis tiering from the PEA document using the Checklist in Appendix A of the PEA.

This Notice of Availability (NOA) starts a 45-day public comment period. A copy of the Draft PEA is available online through the Air Force Civil Engineer Center’s National Environmental Policy Act Center website: https://www. afcec.af.mil/Home/Environment/National-Environmental-Policy-ActCenter/. An electronic copy may also be requested by emailing Mr. Nicolas Post ([email protected]). Any substantive comments received will be addressed in the Final PEA. Comments must be received by December 23, 2023 and sent to the following mailing address or email address:

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Everywhere
you looked, every place you turned, everything you heard, and all you could imagine Tuesday, was all about Shohei
Ohtani.

Ohtani was nowhere in sight. His
agent, Nez Balelo, wasn’t available. And
his former Los Angeles Angels boss,
Perry Minasian, was talking only in generalities.

Makes no difference.

The Ohtani free agent sweepstakes is
the epicenter of the MLB general manager meetings at the Omni Resort where an entire industry anxiously awaits the
outcome.
“We all involve ourselves and our
profession around this game,” said Erik
Neander, Tampa Bay Rays president of
baseball operations, “because we love
it. We love talent. We love stories. And
certainly, he’s as fascinating a talent as
we’ve all seen in our generation.
“Across the game, this is as anticipated a decision as we’ve had in our sport.

This is certainly as captivating one to
many, even for people that aren’t baseball fans. I think it’s great for our game.” Ohtani, who will be honored next
week with his second American League
MVP award in three years, is the sport’s
greatest two-way athlete in history,
even eclipsing Babe Ruth. He had his
second elbow surgery in five years on
Sept. 19 and won’t be able to pitch again
until at least 2025, if not later – but no
matter. There’s not a team in baseball
that doesn’t covet him. Even with a price
tag that will exceed $400 million, he’s
expected to receive the most seven-figure contract offers in baseball history.

Traditionally when a marquee free
agent hits the open market, he’ll get two,
perhaps three legitimate offers. Aaron
Judge got offers from only the New York
Yankees, San Francisco Giants and San
Diego Padres last winter. Bryce Harper’s
market consisted of the Philadelphia
Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants. Manny Machado had offers from the Padres and Chicago White Sox.
“I’ve had a few big-name players, and
many times it’s just team bidding
against themselves,” one veteran agent
said. “You just don’t have many teams
willing to make that kind of commitment.”
This time is different.

Ohtani could have as many as 10
teams making legitimate offers and perhaps as many as 20 that will tell their fan base they were in on him, too.

Simply put, he’s the holy grail of free
agency in the sports world.
“Just as an industry and fan perspective,” Cleveland Guardians GM Mike Chernoff said, “he’s the most interesting
story in baseball right now. He’s just
such a unique talent. I’m trying to think
of what guys have had this sort of
unique attributes over the years, and I
can’t think of any.
“He just brings a whole different dynamic just because he’s a two-way player thing. I can’t even imagine how that will be valued on the market. I have no
idea how it will play out.”
There will be big markets and midsized markets involved. Teams from San Diego to Toronto to Texas to New
York to Chicago will be in the bidding.

The only thing guaranteed, GMs say, is
that there will be a mystery team, a finalist in the sweepstakes that no one saw coming.

It could be as shocking as the 2000
winter meetings when the Rangers
signed Alex Rodriguez to a record 10-
year, $252 million contract, the richest
in sports, easily beating out the Seattle
Mariners and Atlanta.
“No one knows where he’s going to
end up,” Houston Astros GM Dana
Brown said, “and I think that’s exciting
for the game. You just don’t know what’s
going to happen. I think there may be a
wild-card team out there that’s going to
surface. These teams can just come out
of nowhere.
“It’s so unpredictable. I mean, like
honestly, I didn’t even consider the Cubs
for (Craig) Counsell. I wasn’t even thinking about that. I’m thinking maybe the Mets or he goes back to Milwaukee, and
then all of a sudden it’s the Chicago
Cubs.
“Where these things land is really difficult to predict. In free agency, it’s got to be the perfect city, the perfect match
and a revenue city that can actually afford him. Only the good Lord knows where he ends up.”
Minasian wishes he could wave a
magic wand and bring him back. The
Angels never reached the postseason
during his six years with the team, but
he has been the most electrifying player
in the game, hitting a league-leading 44
homers with 95 RBI, 20 stolen bases and
a career-high 1.066 OPS in 2023 despite
missing most of September. On the
mound, he went 25-14 with a 2.69 ERA,
striking out 386 batters in 298 innings
the past two years.

Where else can you find a legitimate
ace and one of the game’s premier power hitters in one package? “I don’t think the world quite appreciates how hard or challenging this is relative to any other athlete in sports,” said Derek Falvey, Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations. “It’s like there’s no quarterback in the NFL also
playing free safety at a high level. It’s
just very unique. So, I appreciate it just
as a fan of baseball.”
Said Brown: “He’s actually getting
the American kids to start thinking
about, hey, I can pitch and hit. Remember when guys were drafted they had to choose? Now guys will get an opportunity to say I want to do both.” The Angels may be flawed, but they
know they’re a whole lot better with Ohtani than without him and truly believe they have a genuine chance to keep him.

If they wanted to trade him last summer, they could have received at least three top-10 prospects from any contender. Several teams were willing to offer their best and more.

Angels owner Arte Moreno also knew
that if he traded Ohtani, he wasn’t getting him back. Once Ohtani walked out the door, he was gone forever.

So now they’ll take their chances and
compete with the big boys. The Dodgers
remain the heavy favorites. The Cubs
and Rangers are serious contenders,
with several GMs saying the Cubs may
be the most aggressive team for his services. And it would be foolish to count out the Red Sox, the Mets or even the Giants.
“Great player, I think there’s going to
be a lot of attention on it,” Minasian
said. “And I understand why. We’ll see
how the offseason develops. We’ve got
our plan, and we’re going to try and execute that plan and we’ll see where everything goes.” The Angels aren’t promising a playoff
berth with Ohtani, just like the Rangers
didn’t when they recruited Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Jacob deGrom, either.

Yet in a baseball world where this
year’s World Series teams lost 110 and
102 games just two years ago, anything
can happen.
“I think this is a very desirable place
to play,” Minasian said. “It’s in a great
part of the country. We have an outstanding fan base. The players that have played here since I’ve been here have
been really, really positive with their experiences. So, with anybody on the market, I think we have a chance.” For all those who don’t believe Ohtani
has any interest in returning, Minasian
doesn’t blink. The Angels signed Mike
Trout to a 10-year, $360 million contract
when folks thought he preferred to one
day to play in Philadelphia or New York.

They outbid the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds for Albert Pujols in 2011.

They persuaded Anthony Rendon to
come their way in 2019.

Many of those decisions may have
backfired, but it proved that Moreno
loves his stars, and he has not backed
away from shelling out money, even if it
means flying past the $237 million luxury tax threshold in 2024. “I wouldn’t put anything past,” Minasian said. “I think it’s something that for the right opportunities, ownership is all
about winning. … We’ll do what we can
to make the team as good as we can.”
So, buckle up, lock the doors, and
brace yourself for a seismic impact once
Ohtani makes the decision heard ’round
the baseball world.
“It’s probably the most focused on
free agent moment that I can remember,” Falvey said. “We’ll see how it shakes out.
“Just stay out of the (AL) Central.

That’s all I care about.”
GMs brace for Ohtani’s momentous decision
In six seasons with the Angels, Shohei Ohtani hit 171 homers, with 437 RBI and a .274 batting average, and was 38-19 as a pitcher. D. ROSS CAMERON/USA TODAY SPORTS Bob Nightengale
