BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On September 18, 1996, the City Council approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for the equipment noted above. Bid forms were mailed to Moore Business Equipment of Modesto, TAB Products of Sacramento, and UARCO. UARCO was the sole respondent, submitting a proposal in the amount of $13,845.92. Following opening of the bid on October 16, staff contacted Moore Business Equipment and TAB regarding their failures to respond. Moore's representative indicated that he had been absent from the office, leaving responsibility for submitting the bid with an associate who failed to follow through. TAB indicated that they had not received the bid package. A fourth potential supplier, NCR Corporation, did not return phone calls placed earlier to determine level of interest. Because UARCO was responsive, and because their proposal has been made public, it is staff's recommendation to award the bid to UARCO. This equipment will replace a Moore unit that is estimated to be over 20 years old. Reliability is declining, and repair costs are exceeding reasonable levels. Replacement at this time is the City's most reasonable option. FUNDING: Prepared by Joel Harris, Purchasing Officer 10.0-050.03-501 (1995/96 Carryover): $15,000 .
