Funds are available in the FY'99-00 Budget of the Graphics Reproductions Division, Account Code No. 505000.420501.6.840. BACKGROUND: The Department of General Services Administration has analyzed the bids received pursuant to Bid No. 99-00-235. Five (5) Invitations for Bids were mailed and four (4) responses were received. AB Dick Co., a Non-Local/Non-Minority vendor, was determined to be non-responsive because the model bid "Townsend T-51" did not meet the specifications: i.e., Plate Positioning on the Fly — vertical and horizontal micro plate adjustments while the press is printing and trail edge twist (skew) plat adjustment without stopping the press; all of which were mandatory requirements. Larry & Associates, Inc., submitted the lowest bid price of $16,700 and has been deemed to be . the lowest responsible and responsive bidder meeting all requirements of the bid. Therefore, it is respectfully recommended that Bid No. 99-00-235 be awarded to Larry & Associates, Inc. The Graphics Reproductions.Division receives frequent requests for two color printing of flyers, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, business cards, newsletters, etc. We currently outsource most of these requests due to the excessive setup time and waste involved in registering the second color. This acquisition of the T -Head, in conjunction with our Multi offset duplicators, will allow the Graphics Reproduction Division to produce accurate cost effective two color printing in a timely manner. �k CAG/FKR/ 1 00- 811 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO Judy Carter, Director DATE : August3 1, 2000 FILE Purchasing Department SUBJECT: Bid Recommendation < Townsend T-51 AE Bid No. 99-00-235 FROM: ilton Mizell, Superintendent REFERENCES G.S.A./Graphic Reproductions Division ENCLOSURES: The Department of General Services Administration/Graphic Reproductions Division has evaluated the four (4) bids received for (2) two Townsend T-51 AE printing heads. AB Dick a non-local/non-minority vendor was determined to be non-responsive because the model bid "Townsend T-51" did not meet the specifications: i.e., Plate Positioning on the Fly — vertical and horizontal micro plate adjustments while the press is printing and trail edge twist (skew) plate adjustment without stopping the press; all of which were mandatory requirements. I spoke to Bill Reighard the marketing manager for Townsend and he confirmed that the Townsend T-51 does not have these features, which are standard on the Townsend T-51 AE. Larry & Associates, Inc., a local, non -minority firm located at 7741 N.W. 56th Street, Miami, Florida 33166, submitted the lowest bid price of $16,700.00 and has been determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder meeting all requirements of the bid. I contacted three (3) references listed on their bid -sheet; Tiger Business Forms, Gold Star Printers, Lightning Printing and confirmed that Larry & Associates, Inc. has a proven track record in Installing and maintaining printing equipment. It is therefore respectfully recommended that Bid No. 99-00-235 be awarded to Larry & Associates, Inc. as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder meeting all requirements. The total cost for these Townsend T-51AE printing heads including installation, shipping and training is $16,700.00. Funds for this purchase are available in the FY`99-00 Budget of the Graphic Reproductions Division account code 420501-840. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 575-5154.
