1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPEThe State of Washington intends to establish a long term service contract for environmental and recycling services for waste streams from governmental operations.

This contract is for Product End of Life Management of government assets and waste materials. The contract service is for the collection, recycling and proper disposal of spent lighting, all types of computer equipment including CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors, batteries, ballasts, televisions, and sundry other electronic equipment. Services may include without limitation the separation and segregation of equipment and/or materials for recycling and disposal. Contractor may provide all or some of the services identified herein.

The contract objective is to protect a Purchaser from potential environmental liabilities associated with the management of electronic and lighting materials and waste. The contract will provide the Purchaser with resources to help the Purchaser act as a responsible governmental entity and environmental leader. The contract’s intent is to prevent products outside of Purchaser’s control from ending up in environmentally irresponsible disposal operations or locations.

Contractor shall have facilities, equipment and personnel located to satisfactory manage the anticipated quantities in a timely manner for all Purchasers. Contractor shall fulfill these requirements using either in-house capabilities or a subcontractor(s) accepted by the state. Contractor shall provide to all Purchasers ready access to the services bid as described in this contract.

No representation is made by Purchaser as to the condition of any equipment and/or materials collected under this contract. The condition of such equipment and/or materials may vary from useable scrap to junk, functional or non-functional, repairable or non-repairable, or any combination of unknown conditions.

Volumes stated in this proposal are not a guaranteed commitment by the state. The volumes should be used only for planning and bidding purposes. The state does not make any commitment with the Contractor in relations with the material or commodities percentages resultant from the recycling process during the term of this contract.

1.2 BACKGROUNDThe Office of State Procurement (OSP) develops purchasing contracts for use by state agencies, Universities, Colleges and approximately 700 purchasing cooperative members which include many cities, counties, school districts and non-profit organizations throughout Washington and Oregon.The state has had electronic and spent lighting recycling service for the past 4 to 6 years on state contract number 11601, utilizing only one Contractor for the service needs. Typically, state agencies use State Surplus for disposing of their electronic waste and individually work with the current Contractor for the recycling of spent lighting. Most non-state customer groups coordinate directly with the current Contractor for the disposition of their electronic and lighting waste materials. State Surplus has served non-state customer groups by taking their electronic waste, e.g. schools, cities and counties for disposition. Currently, State Surplus sorts electronic waste for resell value, those items deemed of limited or no value are sent to the recycling Contractor. The State of Washington enacted the Electronic Products Recycling Program, Chapter 173-900 WAC in 2007 with a start date of January 1, 2009. The program is managed by the Washington State Department of Ecology. This state contract is for those electronic waste materials not recycled under that program.

The percentages related to each respective state are provided in the Reciprocity List located at http://www.ga.wa.gov/pca/recip.htm and apply only to Bids received from those states listed.The appropriate percentage will be added to each Bid bearing the address from a state with in-state preferences rather than subtracting a like amount from Washington State Bidders.This action will be used only for analysis and award purposes.

http://www.ga.wa.gov/


request an appointment to review the procurement file or submit a public disclosure request to obtain specific documents.No rejection notice will be sent to an unsuccessful Bidder(s) whose net pricing (or scoring) after evaluation is higher than the awarded Bidder(s). Bidder(s) whose bid is determined to be non-responsive will be rejected and may be notified of the reasons for such rejection.

5.7 CONTRACT AWARD CONFERENCE The awarded Contractor may be required to attend a contract award conference scheduled by the Procurement Coordinator to discuss contract performance requirements. The time and place of this conference will be scheduled following contract award.

5.8 NOTIFICATION OF APPARENTLY SUCCESSFUL BIDDERAll Bidders responding to this solicitation will be notified when the Purchasing Activity has determined the Apparent Successful Bidder(s). The date of announcement of the Successful Bidder will be the date of the notification from the Purchasing Activity.

5.9 BID RESPONSIVENESS EVALUATIONBid Responses will be reviewed by the Procurement Coordinator to determine on a pass/fail basis its compliance with solicitation requirements, and whether Bidder has submitted a complete bid response, those bids not meeting complete bid submittal requirements may be considered non-responsive and rejected. Responses passing the initial determination of responsiveness will then be further reviewed on a pass/fail basis to determine if the individual Bid Response meets mandatory requirements identified herein (i.e. signature pages, specifications, certifications, price sheet, cost evaluation worksheets, informational forms, etc.). Responses not meeting mandatory bid requirements may be considered non-responsive and rejected.The Purchasing Activity reserves the right to consider the actual level of Bidder’s compliance with the requirements specified in this solicitation and to waive informalities in a Bid Response. An “informality” is an immaterial variation from the exact requirements of the competitive solicitation, having no effect or merely a minor or negligible effect on quality, quantity, or delivery of the supplies or performance of the services being procured, and the correction or waiver of which would not affect the relative standing of, or be otherwise prejudicial to Bidders.The Purchasing Activity reserves the right to determine at its sole discretion whether Bidder’s Response to a solicitation requirement is sufficient to pass. If, however, all responding Bidders fail to meet any single mandatory item, the Purchasing Activity may cancel the solicitation and reject all bids.

5.10 RESPONSIBILITY EVALUATIONPursuant to RCW 43.19,1911 (9), in determining Bidder responsibility, the following elements shall be given consideration:(a) The ability, capacity, and skill of the Bidder to perform the contract or provide the service required;(b) The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the Bidder;(c) Whether the Bidder can perform the contract within the time specified;(d) The quality of performance of previous contracts or services;(e) The previous and existing compliance by the Bidder with laws relating to the contract or services;

and,(f) Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on the decision to award the contract:

16



During solicitation evaluation, the Purchasing Activity reserves the right to make reasonable inquiry to determine the responsibility of any Bidder. Requests may include, but are not limited to, financial statements, credit ratings, references, record of past performance, clarification of Bidder’s offer, and on-site inspection of Bidder's or Bidder's subcontractor's facilities. Failure to respond to said request(s) may result in Response being rejected as non-responsive.

5.11 REFERENCES EVALUATIONThe state reserves the right to use references to confirm satisfactory customer service, performance, satisfaction with service/product, knowledge of product/service/industry and timeliness; any negative or unsatisfactory response may be an adequate reason for rejecting a Bidder as not responsible for the state’s needs. Bidder deemed non-responsible will be rejected. References in which contact is established will be asked to rate Bidder’s past performance. The Purchasing Activity will only attempt maximum of three (3) times to make contact with a Bidder’s reference. If contact cannot be established with a reference or if the reference refuses to provide a statement, then that reference will be deemed non-responsive and no further attempts will be made to contact that particular reference.The state reserves the right to seek and substitute other references to determine the sufficiency of the Bidder’s level of responsibility.

5.12 NON-COST FACTORS EVALUATIONBidder’s responses to Bidder Ability to Perform section will be evaluated on a scored basis as non-cost factors. Bidder is to refer to the IFB, Specifications and Contract document sections for complete contractual requirements when responding to this requirement. Bidder is to provide sufficient information that supports your company’s abilities to perform under this contract so as to aid in the evaluation process. Bidder that fails the Bidder Ability to Perform evaluation may be deem non-responsive and rejected. Bidder not providing enough information, an unclear response or lacking sufficient details to fully evaluate may be deem non-responsive and rejected.

5.13 COST EVALUATIONThe Purchasing Activity will use the results of the Cost Evaluation Worksheets to determine the lowest cost Bidder(s) (see Appendixes for Worksheets). The items identified in the Cost Evaluation Worksheets are projected to be majority of the contract spend. To determine a Bidder’s evaluation cost the state will take the Bidder’s bid prices, and then follow the Cost Evaluation Worksheets to determine the Bidder’s Total Evaluation Price. If a Bidder does not provide pricing for an item used in the Cost Evaluation Worksheets, then it shall be adequate reason to disqualify a Bidder as being non-responsive to this IFB and may result in bid rejection.

5.14 FACILITY INFORMATION SHEETS EVALUATIONThe state will evaluate Bidder’s proposed facilities on a pass/fail basis, with a failure based on current or past environmental or safety regulatory violations history demonstrating a potential pollution liability to the state. The state will evaluate each facility as it determines appropriate for the contract activity at the facility. Bidder may submit multiple facilities for the same service (e.g. recycling aluminum) if the Bidder determines it would be in the best interest of state. If a proposed facility is not acceptable to the state, then Bidder will be required to provide another facility for consideration. Because of the nature of the services provided under this contract it is important to the state to limit its potential pollution liabilities associated with facilities. The state will

17


only require the Apparent Successful Bidder(s) to meet this requirement. There shall be no provision for pricing increases based on changes to Bidder’s proposed facilities.

5.15 SCORING SUBMITTALS FOR AWARDTo determine the awarding of this contract, the state will use both non-cost and cost factors in the bid evaluation. Contract will be awarded based on the following:1 Points: Scoring of bids will be made on a point allocation basis; with 600 evaluation points for

Cost Factor and 400 evaluation points for Non-Cost Factors, with total available points of 1000. 2 Non-Cost Factors Evaluation: Evaluation of non-cost factors will be based on the Bidder’s

responses to Bidder’s Ability to Perform as defined in the Bidder Profile section of this IFB. Evaluation of non-cost factors and the assignment of points shall be done by evaluation committee members familiar with contract requirements. The evaluation committee will evaluate bid responses and documentation provided by Bidder. It shall be recognized that the assessment of technical factors and the assignment of a rating is of a technical nature and that such assessments and ratings shall be based upon the committee’s and its member’s best professional reasoned judgment.

3 Cost Factor Evaluation: To determine the lowest evaluation cost the State will use the Cost Evaluation Worksheet. The state will first determine those Bidders that bid a particular service group, and then those bids will be compared to determine the lowest cost Bidder for that service by using the Cost Evaluation Worksheet.

4 Awarding of Points: Bidder with the lowest total evaluation cost will receive maximum (600) points for a service group. Those bids with a higher evaluation cost shall receive a proportionately fewer number of evaluation points based upon the lowest bid. (Example: Lowest bidder bids $1,000 and receives 600 points. The next lowest bids $ 1100 or 10.00%* more, will receive 90.00% of the 600 points (90.00% x 600 pt. = 540 points) (Rule: *only carried to two decimal points, there are no negative points, and maximum points in a category are not less than zero.) For the non-cost factors, Bidders will receive the summation of the evaluation points earned through the evaluation process.

5 Award: To determine a winning Bidder(s), the state will add earned evaluation points from both the cost and non-cost factors to determine the Bidder with the highest number of points for each service, subject to other responsive and responsibility issues as describe herein.

6 Apparently Successful Bidder: The Bidder with the highest evaluation score will be declared the Apparent Successful Bidder. The Procurement Coordinator may enter into contract negotiations with the Apparent Successful Bidder to improve bid. Should contract negotiations fail to be completed within thirty (30) calendar days after initiation, the Procurement Coordinator may immediately cease contract negotiations and declare the Bidder with the second highest score as the new Successful Bidder and enter into contract negotiations with that Bidder. This process will continue until a Contract is signed or no qualified Bidders remain.Designation as an Apparent Successful Bidder does not imply that the State will issue an award to your firm. It merely suggests that at this moment in time the State believes your bid to be responsive. This designation allows the State to perform a responsibility analysis and ask for additional documentation. The State is also at liberty to re-review and determine whether the bid is truly responsive as initially believed. The Bidder must not construe this as a notification of award, impending award, an attempt to negotiate, etc. If you act or fail to act in reliance of this notification, you do so at your own risk and expense.
