STAFF REPORT
TO: Members of Dublin city council
FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, city Manager (
SUBJECT: Mobile stage Bid Process
DATE: April 13, 1994
-
INITIATED BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing ~
-- SUMMARY & ACTION RECOMMENDED
After pursuing formal advertising and competitive bidding proce-
dures for a new mobile stage unit, bids were received and opened at
3:00 P.M. on Wednesday, April 6, 1994. Attached for your consider-
ation is the bid tabulation and Ordinance No. 38-94 accepting the
lowest and best bid for said equipment. staff recommends that the
bid submitted by Century Industries, Inc. for a Century Showmaster
MSM 2800 unit, in the amount of $54,995.00, be accepted.
As Council will recall, funding for the procurement of the above
referenced equipment was authorized by the 1994 Budget. This
equipment will be used for a variety of performances in conjunction
with City-sponsored special events and will eliminate the expense
associated with renting such equipment in the future.
You will note that the attached Ordinance accepting the lowest &
best bid has been drafted as emergency legislation. staff has firm
plans for utilizing this stage unit for the July 4, 1994 celebra-
tion and, in order to ensure delivery by that date, immediate
notice of bid acceptance to the successful bidder is required.
.....
EVALUATION OF BIDS
As reflected in the attached bid tabulation, the City received bids
-- from the following vendors:
*Wenqer corporation
*Century Industries, Inc.
When conducting its research into the development of the specifica-
tions, staff determined that there were only two recognized, estab-
lished manufacturers of this type of unit in the industry. How-
ever, to help validate staff's research in this respect, staff cir-
culated the bid invitation and documents through Bid Net Inc., a
service provided to the city at no cost that circulates bid notices
to prospective bidders within their nation-wide data base. As
demonstrated by the results of the bid process, the two vendors
from which Staff expected to receive bids, indeed submitted bids.

. .
You will note that the lowest bid submitted is from Wenger Corpor-
ation in the amount of $53,704; however, Wenger's bid is deficient
in that it does not contain the required bid bond. Although
Wenger's bid does not contain the required bid bond, no deviations
from the equipment specifications have been noted. In discussing
the above noted deficiency in Wenger's bid with the Law Director's
office, Staff has been advised that such a deficiency is considered
to be a major deficiency and should the City accept Wenger's bid,
such action would not be defensible. In light of the Law Direc-
- tor's advice, therefore, Staff recommends that Wenger's bid be
rejected.
-- The lowest and most responsive bid submitted is from Century Indus-
tries, Inc. in the amount of $54,995.00. Century's bid contains no
deficiencies and no deviations from the equipment specifications.
In addition, Staff believes that the materials used in the con-
struction of the deck and the walls provide for a sturdier, more
substantial unit when compared to the Wenger unit. As noted in the
attached bid tabulation, Century's bid contains several alternates,
the most significant of which is an upgrade from the model MSM 2800
to the model MSM 3200 at no extra cost. The model MSM 3200 offers
a 32 foot stage as opposed to a 28 foot stage on the model MSM
2800. Although the MSM 3200 offers a larger stage, Staff has some
definite operational concerns regarding this model and, therefore,
does not recommend acceptance of this model. Staff instead recom-
mends acceptance of the model MSM 2800. The only alternate listed
of which Staff recommends acceptance is the upgrade of the stairs
from steel to aluminum, which is offered at no extra cost.
CONCLUSION
In light of the noted deficiency in the bid submitted by Wenger,
the subsequent advice from the Law Director regarding this defici-
_~ ency, and the fact that the Century unit is a sturdier, more sub-
stantial unit, Staff recommends that the bid submitted by Century
for the model MSM 2800, in the amount of $54,995.00, be accepted.
In addition, for the reasons previously noted, Staff further
~ recommends that Ordinance No. 38-94 formally accepting said bid be
adopted as emergency legislation.
