I. ABOUT SOURCEWELL PARTICIPATING ENTITIES

A. SOURCEWELL

Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government agency and service cooperative created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21) that facilitates a competitive public solicitation and contract award process for the benefit of its 50,000+ participating entities across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell’s solicitation process complies with State of Minnesota law and policies, conforms to Canadian trade agreements, and results in cooperative contracting solutions from which Sourcewell’s Participating Entities procure equipment, products, and services.

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

Sourcewell uses a website-based platform, the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, through which all proposals to this RFP must be submitted.

B. USE OF RESULTING CONTRACTS

In the United States, Sourcewell’s contracts are available for use by:
• Federal and state government entities;
• Cities, towns, and counties/parishes;
• Education service cooperatives;

• Tribal government entities;
• Some nonprofit entities; and
• Other public entities.

In Canada, Sourcewell’s contracts are available for use by:
• Provincial and territorial government departments, ministries, agencies, boards, councils, committees, commissions, and similar agencies; • Regional, local, district, and other forms of municipal government, municipal organizations, school boards, and publicly-funded academic, health, and social service entities referred to as MASH sector (this should be construed to include but not be limited to the Cities of Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, and Winnipeg), as well as any corporation or entity owned or controlled by one or more of the preceding entities;

Access to contracted equipment, products, or services by Participating Entities is typically through a purchase order issued directly to the applicable vendor. A Participating Entity may request additional terms or conditions related to a purchase. Use of Sourcewell contracts is voluntary and Participating Entities retain the right to obtain similar equipment, products, or services from other sources.

To meet Participating Entities’ needs, public notice of this RFP has been broadly published, including notification in the United States to each state-level procurement department for possible re-posting.

Proof of publication will be available at the conclusion of the solicitation process.

II. EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES

A. SOLUTIONS-BASED SOLICITATION

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

B. REQUESTED EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES

It is expected that Proposers will offer a wide array of equipment, products, or services at lower prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to a single government entity, a school district, or a regional cooperative.

1. Sourcewell is seeking proposals for Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions, including, but not to be limited to:

a. Fleet management information systems;
b. Fleet technology related hardware solutions;

Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #020221
Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions

c. Fleet related software solutions;
d. Telematics, fleet monitoring, asset tracking, and geofencing solutions; e. Motor pool and fleet sharing solutions; and,
f. Integrated video solutions.

2. This solicitation does not include those equipment, products, or services covered under categories included in contracts currently maintained by Sourcewell:

a. RFP #062916 Automotive and Truck Replacement Parts and Tires with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
b. RFP #060618 Fleet Management Services
c. RFP #013020 Vehicle Lifts, with Garage and Fleet Maintenance Equipment d. RFP #080620 Fleet Payment Solutions with Related Services e. RFP #092920 Aboveground Fuel and Fluid Storage with Related Hardware, Software, and Services
f. RFP #101520 OEM Automotive Parts and Supplies
g. RFP #110520 Fleet and Facility Related Vendor Managed Inventory and Logistics Management Solutions

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 or products only solutions may be appropriate for situations where Participating Entities possess the ability, either in-house or through local third- party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being proposed.

Sourcewell prefers vendors that provide a sole source of responsibility for the products and services provided under a resulting contract. If Proposer requires the use of dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the products or services, the Proposal should address how the products or services will be provided to Participating Entities and describe the network of dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.

Sourcewell desires the broadest possible selection of equipment, products, and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross-section of Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities.

Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #020221
Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions

C. REQUIREMENTS

It is expected that Proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities.

1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or regulatory standards or codes.

2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services.

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

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

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

D. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TERM

Sourcewell anticipates that the term of any resulting contract(s) will be four (4) years. Up to two one-year extensions may be offered based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities.

E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE

Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $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.

Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #020221
Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions

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

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

3. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory.

4. A Proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal.

III. PRICING

A. REQUIREMENTS

All proposed pricing must be:

1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the Vendor’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any Contract resulting from this RFP.

2. The Proposer’s ceiling price (C eiling price means that the proposed pricing will be considered as the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity ). However, it is permissible for vendors to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price;

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

4. Clearly understood, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).

Rev. 2/2020 Sourcewell RFP #020221
Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions

Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. Additionally, Proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the Proposal.

B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

Proposers are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.

IV. CONTRACT

Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the Proposer indicates in its proposal will be available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the Proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation.

To request a modification to the Contract terms, conditions, or specifications, a Proposer must complete and submit the Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table, with all requested modifications, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at the time of submitting the Proposer’s Proposal. Exceptions must:

1. Clearly identify the affected article and section, and

2. Clearly note what language is requested to be modified.

Unclear requests will be automatically denied.

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

If a Proposer receives a contract award resulting from this solicitation it will have up to 30 days to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract award may be revoked.

It is left to the discretion of each proposer to determine and propose an administrative fee that is consistent with its business and industry. Sourcewell will review the vendor’s proposed administrative fee at the time of circulating award and non-award determinations, and will communicate either an acceptance of, or a counter-proposal to, the proposed administrative fee at that time. Proposals are evaluated based on the scoring criteria as stated in the RFP.

Question 2:

Can additional descriptions of the types of requested equipment, products, or services be provided that would be applicable for each of the categories as described in RFP Section II. B. 1.? The information would help with formulating a pricing proposal.

Answer 2:

Refer to Addendum 1, Question and Answer 1 posted on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal on December 11, 2020. It is left to the discretion of each proposer to articulate

and propose the pricing approach that aligns with their product offerings, business methods, and satisfies the requirements of RFP Section III - Pricing.

Question 3:

Will Sourcewell allow shipping/freight costs to be added to the invoice at the time of sale as itemized charges?
Answer 3:

It is left to the discretion of each proposer to articulate and propose the pricing approach that aligns with their business methods and satisfies the requirements of RFP Section III - Pricing. Proposals are evaluated based on the criteria stated in the RFP.

Question 4:

Are we allowed to offer a participating entity a higher discount than the discount submitted with our proposal on a "case-by-case" basis?
Answer 4:

Refer to RFP Section III. A. 2. – which requires that all proposed pricing must be: “The Proposer’s ceiling price (Ceiling price means that the proposed pricing will be considered as the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity). However, it is permissible for vendors to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.”
Question 5:

What is the average turn-around time for the approval of Product and Pricing Change Requests as described in Section 4 of the Sourcewell contract template? If a participating entity is purchasing a solution that may include a new product, one which has not yet been approved or added to the contract; are we allowed to include this item on either a quote or an order under this contract as long as we clearly list the item as an "OPEN MARKET" item?
Answer 5:

The Product and Pricing Change Request processing time will vary significantly depending on the extent of the requested change and the thoroughness of the request submitted to Sourcewell. Refer to Section 6. C. – Specialized Service Requirements of the Sourcewell contract template regarding non-contract items.

Question 6:

Should a customer want to utilize this contract, do they only need to meet the eligibility requirements to be a participating entity (e.g., a school, mass transit, police department, city department, etc.) or do they need to go through a separate membership process? If so, is more information available on the membership process? Answer 6:

In order to utilize a Sourcewell awarded contract, a qualifying entity must complete Sourcewell’s online registration process and receive an account number in advance of the transaction. Participation with Sourcewell is at no cost and no obligation to the participating entity. More information on the registration process is available at:
https://www.sourcewell-mn.gov/register
Question 7:

Does a proposer need to offer solutions for all the categories listed in the Requested Equipment, Products, or Services or be able to provide coverage to every geographic region to be considered for award?
Answer 7:

A proposer is not required to offer all possible items or services within the Requested Equipment, Products, or Services of the solicitation, or cover every geographic region, to be considered for award. However, the RFP is a competitive process and proposals will be evaluated based on the criteria as stated in the RFP.

Question 1:

Will Sourcewell consider an extension to the proposal due date? Answer 1:

An extension to the proposal due date is not anticipated at this time.

Question 2:

In reference to Table 4: References/Testimonials, Line Item 21. – This question asks for "three customers who are eligible to be Sourcewell participating entities" what is required of the “participating entities” as opposed to the Top 5 listed customers requested in Table 5: Top Five Government or Education Customers? Answer 2:

It is left to the discretion of each proposer to determine the content and format of the data and documentation that best represents their proposal. Sourcewell will consider the relevant information submitted in each proposal and apply the evaluation criteria as set forth in the RFP.

Question 3:

Is there a way for vendors to address potential fee or cost increases because of future market variables?

Answer 3:

Refer to Sourcewell contract template Section 4 - Product and Pricing Change Requests, for guidance on requesting pricing modifications during the term of an awarded contract.

Question 4:

Will any separate lease terms be superseded by the language in the contract between Sourcewell and the vendor, specifically Section 22 of the Sourcewell contract template - Cancellation? Would a separate lease addendum or other terms between the entity and the finance company be cancellable under Section 22 or does the language only apply to the contact between Sourcewell and the vendor?

If the Sourcewell/Vendor contract supersedes the separate lease contract as discussed above, can we request review of this in Table 16, Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications Form?
Answer 4:

Refer to Sourcewell contract template Section 6. A. – Orders and Payment. “All Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to expiration of this Contract; however, Vendor performance, Participating Entity payment, and any applicable warranty periods or other Vendor or Participating Entity obligations may extend beyond the term of this Contract.”

A request for modification to the Sourcewell contract template may only be submitted with a proposal. To request a modification to the contract template terms, conditions, or specifications, a proposer must complete and submit the Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table, which is found as the final Table of Step 1 in the proposal submission process.

Addendum No. 10
Solicitation Number: RFP 020221
Solicitation Name: Fleet Management Technologies with Related Software Solutions

Consider the following Questions and Answers to be part of the above-titled solicitation documents. The remainder of the documents remain unchanged.

Question 1:

Explain the terms of the administrative fee. With other purchasing agreements, it is charged based on the contract value of the first order for the first contract year. Is this how Sourcewell charges for the administrative fee?
Answer 1:

Refer to RFP Section III. B. – Administrative Fees and Sourcewell contract template Section 8 – Report on Contract Sales Activity and Administrative Fee Payment. It is left to the discretion of each proposer to determine and propose an administrative fee that is consistent with its business and industry.

Question 2:

If a contract holder has a marketplace for third party providers to directly market their products and services to contract holder's customers, can the contract holder use the Sourcewell contract to allow Sourcewell customers to purchase products and services from that marketplace? If so, are those transactions directly between the marketplace partner and the Sourcewell customer? Must the marketplace partner comply with the Sourcewell terms, and does the Sourcewell contract holder take responsibility for the marketplace partner's products and services?
Answer 2:

Refer to RFP Section II. B. – Requested Equipment, Products, or Services, “Sourcewell prefers vendors that provide a sole source of responsibility for the products and services provided under a resulting contract. If Proposer requires the use of dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the products or services, the Proposal should address how the products or services will be provided to Participating Entities and describe the

network of dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.”
Question 3:

For end-user agreements with Sourcewell Participating Entities outside of the State of Minnesota, is it a requirement that the Minnesota Data Practices Act apply or can the vendor's standard commercial terms for data-related issues be used (i.e. data use, data protection)?
Answer 3:

Sourcewell is a government entity based in Minnesota and therefore must follow the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. Awarded vendors are also subject to the Act, where applicable, as more fully set forth in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13. For additional clarification, Proposers should seek guidance from their own legal counsel.
