Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service price agreement will provide for the purchase, maintenance, and repair of automated and manual defibrillators (AED) and chest compression devices for citywide use. These AEDs are utilized by participating City departments and will provide for monthly inspections, trainings on proper use, replacements, and repairs. This program is designed to help safeguard the health and safety of City employees and the public through the availability of and access to AEDs in City buildings. When used correctly, AEDs are used to help those experiencing certain types of sudden cardiac arrest.
A five-member committee from the following departments reviewed and evaluated the qualifications:
• Dallas Fire-Rescue Department (1)
• Department of Information and Technology Services (1)
• Office of Emergency Management and Crisis Response (1)
• Park & Recreation Department (1)
• Office of Procurement Services (1)*
*The Office of Procurement Services evaluated cost and local preference, if applicable.
The committee selected the successful respondents on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications under the following criteria:
• Cost 30 points
• Approach 25 points
• Experience 25 points
• Supply Chain Sustainability 15 points
• Local Preference 5 points
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. The calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $22.05; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
