Overview
The City of Rochester Hills (hereinafter referred to as the “City”) is accepting proposals from qualified firms to provide, graphic services (when needed), screen-printing, embroidery and clothing/uniform apparel including union T-shirts & sweatshirts to City personnel. The clothing will be purchased on an as needed basis. The City is interested in entering into a contract for one (1) year, with two (2) one-year options to renew. Renewal will be contingent upon successful proposer holding to original contract terms and conditions.
This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP). As such, the lowest price proposed will not guarantee an award recommendation. Competitive sealed proposals will be evaluated based upon criteria formulated around product quality and variety, experience, support and services. Price may not be the determinative factor in the issuance of a contract or award. The proposal evaluation criteria should be viewed as standards that measure how well a vendor’s approach meets the desired requirements and needs of the City. The criteria that will be used and considered in evaluation for award are set forth in this document.
The City will thoroughly review all proposals received. A purchase order/contract will be awarded to a qualified vendor submitting the best proposal. The City of Rochester Hills reserves the right to select, and subsequently recommend for award, the proposed products/ services which best meets its required needs, quality levels and budget constraints.
Proposers should note that a RFP is considered to be under evaluation from the due date until contract award. The contracting officer is restricted from giving any information relative to the “progress” of the evaluation during this time, except as described in other areas of this RFP and as required to administer the evaluation process. Final proposal results will be posted on the MITN website after award.
