Cooperative purchasing provides participating entities and suppliers increased administrative efficiencies and the power of combined purchasing volume that result in overall cost savings. At times, Sourcewell also partners with other purchasing cooperatives to combine the purchasing volume of their membership into a single solicitation and contract expanding the reach of contracted suppliers’ potential pool of end users.

II. SOLICITATION DETAILS
A. SOLUTIONS-BASED SOLICITATION
This RFP and contract award process is a solutions-based solicitation; meaning that Sourcewell is seeking equipment, products, or services that meet the general requirements of the scope of this RFP and that are commonly desired or are required by law or industry standards.

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #090122
Law Enforcement Equipment

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 Law Enforcement Equipment, construed to consist of equipment, gear, tools, and instruments (including related services), designed or used for law enforcement activity, criminal investigation, tactical response, and traffic enforcement, of the following types:
a. Law enforcement duty gear;
b. Traffic safety enforcement equipment, devices, and instruments; c. Crime scene management and evidence collection equipment and supplies; d. Tactical and EOD equipment (with the exception of those items excluded in subsections

2. or 3. below); and,
e. Services related to the offering of the solutions in subsections 1. a. – d. above, such as training, installation, testing, maintenance, warranty programs, and technical support.

2. The focus of this solicitation is on Law Enforcement Equipment. This solicitation should NOT be construed to include: 1) firearms and ammunition; 2) conducted energy weapons; or 3) critical care, resuscitation, or EMS equipment.

3. This solicitation does not include those equipment, products, or services covered under categories included in contracts currently maintained by Sourcewell:
a. Laboratory and Science Equipment and Supplies with Related Accessories and Services (RFP #042419);
b. Public Safety Video Surveillance Solutions with Related Equipment, Software and Accessories (RFP #010720);
c. Uniforms with Related Products and Services (RFP #040920); d. Body Armor with Related Accessories, Equipment, and Services (RFP #011221); e. Public Safety Communications Technology and Hardware Solutions (RFP #042021); f. Lab Services and Testing with Related Products and Supplies (RFP #011222); and, g. Public Safety Training and Simulation Equipment and Technology (RFP #011822).

Proposers may include related equipment, accessories, and services to the extent that these solutions are complementary to the equipment, products, or service(s) being proposed.

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 third- Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #090122
Law Enforcement Equipment

party 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.

3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new, current model; however, proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.

4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the proposal, equipment and products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.

5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a warranty that is the industry standard or better.

D. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TERM
Sourcewell anticipates that the term of any resulting contract(s) will be four years, with an optional one-year extension that may be offered based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities.

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #090122
Law Enforcement Equipment

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 $20 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

1. Contracts will be awarded to proposers able to best meet the need of Participating Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.

2. A proposer may submit only one proposal. If related, affiliated, or subsidiary entities elect to submit separate proposals, rather than a single parent-entity proposal, each such proposal must be prepared independently and without cooperation, collaboration, or collusion.

3. If a proposer works with a consultant on its proposal, the consultant (an individual or company) may not assist any other entity with a proposal for this solicitation.

4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.

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:

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #090122
Law Enforcement Equipment

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. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any contract resulting from this RFP.

2. The proposer’s 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.

3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).

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 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.

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #090122
Law Enforcement Equipment

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.

2. Clearly note the requested modification; and as applicable, provide requested alternative language.

Unclear requests will be automatically denied.

Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract document provided to the awarded supplier for signature.

AUCTIONS
INDIANAPOLIS – The NBA board
of governors voted Tuesday to pay
$24.5 million to former American Basketball Association players, many of whom are struggling to pay rent, medical bills and buy the basic necessities.

The agreement reached by the NBA
and its players association ends a yearslong battle launched by the Indianapolis-based Dropping Dimes Foundation.

Dropping Dimes, a nonprofit founded
in 2014 to help struggling former ABA
players and their families, has been
pleading with the NBA to give players of
the now-defunct ABA the money it says
they deserve.

About 115 players are eligible for the
payout, which the NBA is calling “recognition payments,” not pensions. Those players either spent three or more years
in the ABA or played at least three combined years in the ABA and NBA and never received a vested pension from
the NBA.

The agreement pays players an average $3,828 annually for each year they were in the league. For example, a player
with the minimum three seasons will
receive $11,484 a year. A player with the
most years of service, such as Freddie
Lewis who has nine, will get $35,452 a
year.
“It’s an incredible day for former ABA
players,” said Scott Tarter, CEO and
founder of Dropping Dimes, “one that
we and the players have been hoping for
and working so hard toward for many
years.”
The money to fund the ABA payments is a 50-50 split between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association.
“Our players have a genuine sense of
appreciation for those who paved the
way and helped us achieve the success
we enjoy today,” said Tamika Tremaglio,
NBPA executive director. “We have always considered the ABA players a part of our brotherhood and we are proud to
finally recognize them with this benefit.”
After the vote, NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver said the players and team
governors “felt a need to act on behalf of
these former ABA players who are aging
and, in many cases, facing difficult economic circumstances. “These pioneers made meaningful
contributions to help grow the game of
professional basketball and we all believe it’s appropriate to provide financial recognition to this group for their impact.”
‘This means so much to them’
Tarter was in a warehouse alone surrounded by ABA memorabilia when he got the call from the NBA last week. A
call he had been waiting for.
“I was literally shaking,” Tarter said.
“Is this really happening?”
While the NBA did not give ABA players everything Dropping Dimes had asked for – covering all 140 living former
ABA players and paying $400 a month
for each year of play – Tarter said he is
still celebrating.
“In some ways, we feel these aging
ABA players, who broke so many barriers in the 1960s and ’70s, deserve even more recognition,” he said. “But I can’t
overstate how much it means to them to
have the NBA and NBPA recognize their
tremendous contributions to today’s
NBA game.”
What the NBA approved gives threeyear players about $957 a month, rather than the $1,200 Dropping Dimes had
asked for. For some, that’s still not
enough, said Tarter, who expects many
players will still be turning to Dropping
Dimes for help.

In other situations, the money will be
life changing for these players, he said.

Tarter points to Bird Averitt, who won
an ABA championship with the Kentucky Colonels in 1975. When he died in 2020, he was using kerosene to heat his
home because he couldn’t afford to pay
the electric bill.

There are many former players in
similar situations or even worse off than
Averitt, Tarter said.

When the ABA merged with the NBA
in 1976, just four ABA teams were absorbed, leaving many players suddenly without paychecks, health insurance
and pensions.

Beyond the financial help the NBA
deal provides, it gives honor to the pioneers of the professional game, Tarter said.
“This means so much to them personally,” he said, “from the standpoint of their own legacy in basketball.”
‘Not asking for a handout’
The Indianapolis Star, part of the
USA TODAY Network, published a story
last year revealing that 80% of former
ABA players struggling financially are
Black. Those are the players coming to
Dropping Dimes for help.

Those players blazed the trail for
what the NBA game is today, fast-paced
with 3-pointers and slam-dunk contests, and they deserved something for that, Tarter said.

He and his organization have been on
a mission to get the NBA “to do the right
thing,” Tarter said.

The former ABA players are now in
their late 60s, 70s and 80s. Some are
homeless, living under bridges. Some
die alone with no money for a gravestone. Others can’t afford dentures or a new suit to go to church.

More than 10 players on Dropping
Dimes’ pension list, now 140, have died
in the past three years. Time was a factor in pushing the NBA to act, Tarter said.
“As far as this pension thing, the NBA
is waiting for us to die off,” Frank Card,
who played for the ABA’s Denver Rockets, told IndyStar in February 2021.

At the time, Card was a retired public
bus driver, living in a rented apartment.
“I’m not asking for some kind of
handout or something I didn’t work for
or deserve,” Card said. “I don’t know
why these guys don’t step up and say,
‘Why shouldn’t we take care of them like
they took care of us?’ ”
After the article published, the NBA
spoke publicly on the issue for the first
time.
“We are in discussions with the
Dropping Dimes Foundation on this issue,” Tim Frank, senior vice president, league operations communications,
told IndyStar in 2021.

The discussions weren’t soon enough
for Card, who died two months later at

76. In lieu of flowers, his obituary asked
that donations be made to Dropping
Dimes.
‘Forgotten about’
Former ABA player Sam Smith died
while waiting for a pension from the
NBA and left a chilling photo behind.

George Carter died penniless with no
family. Many other players who had
sought help from Dropping Dimes died
as they waited for a decision from the
NBA.

When the ABA disbanded in 1976,
merging with the NBA, four of its 11
teams were absorbed by the NBA – the
Pacers, Nuggets, New York Nets and San
Antonio Spurs. Many players were left
with no pension, salaries shut off and
health insurance gone.
“They’ve just been forgotten about,”
Tarter said in 2021.

Maurice McHartley, who played four
years in the ABA, talked to IndyStar last
year. He is retired from a job as a newspaper truck driver and lives in subsidized housing in Atlanta. He said he has been forced to ask for financial help
many times in recent years.
“A pension, there’s a lot of things it
would go toward,” said McHartley, who
during his career played for the ABA’s
Miami Floridians, Nets and Dallas
Chaparrals. “Car insurance, upkeep on
your car, food intake, rent. So, it’s a lot of
things that would help out with your
overall living.”
Dropping Dimes heard from McHartley and so many other former players. Through its eight years, the foundation has helped with little things – gas money, a new suit for church, a rehab
session.

And it has helped with big things –
funeral expenses, major medical bills
and rent.

And now, Dropping Dimes has
helped get these players what they
needed most.
“This, these pensions, has been our
big mission from Day 1,” Tarter said.
“This, what is happening now, getting
these guys what they deserve.”
‘I felt like I was talking to Mel’
Dropping Dimes has an advisory
board backed by big names in sports,
media and basketball. Among them are
Bob Costas, Reggie Miller, George
McGinnis, Julius Erving, Myles Turner,
Peter Vecsey and Bob Netolicky.

But one name on the board (now in
memoriam) is Mel Daniels, and he was
the fiercest fighter that Dropping Dimes
had, Tarter said.

As Tarter sat in that ABA warehouse
downtown last week on the call with the
NBA, he said he looked up to the ceiling
and thought of Daniels.
“I literally looked up as I was listening
to this and I felt like I was talking to Mel,”
he said. “Too bad Mel is not here to see
this in person. This was his idea all
along, saying, ‘We’ve got to do something for these guys.’ ” As Daniels helped former player
Charlie Jordan pick out a new suit in
2015, he talked to IndyStar about how
sad it was to see his league and teammates suffer. “There are some ABA players living under bridges,” he said. “They don’t have anything. People don’t know
how bad off they are.”
That includes former ABA players,
like Randy Denton, who had no idea the
men he played with were struggling.
“I didn’t stay in touch with anybody
and then this thing bubbles up some
years ago and my first thought is, ‘I’m so
sorry,’ ” said Denton, who played five
seasons in the ABA and a year in the
NBA. “It was emotional seeing those
guys suffer.”
Denton started following the plights
of the players and felt helpless.
“I’m not as bad off as some of these
guys. I read these stories and I just cried.

I wished I had a million dollars to give
them,” he said. “I knew these guys. I
played with these guys.”
While Denton knows the money will
help other players more than him, he
also said money is not the only reason
this NBA deal matters.
“It would mean a lot to me from a basketball standpoint. It would mean a lot because we were as good as the NBA
players, we played just as hard,” he said.
“And we are getting peanuts, getting
nothing, no recognition.”
Until now.
“The financial benefit will be life
changing to many of these former players, who were paid so much less when they played,” Tarter said. “That said, not
every former ABA player qualifies for
the recognition benefit and there will
still be players in need.”
Even as Dropping Dimes and former
players celebrated Tuesday night, Tarter said he knew his work isn’t done. “Dropping Dimes is rededicating itself to continue to assist as best we can, with the respect and dignity these players deserve for what they’ve done for their sport,” he said. “We’re a small operation, but we’re a determined group.” ‘THIS WILL BE LIFE CHANGING’
