We have years of specification writing, apparatus design and manufacturing experience.
We begin by applying 29 years of practical fire, ems and hazmat experience to the process of writing specifications that meet your individualized needs.
We can prepare a detailed set of specifications that will allow you to solicit competitive quotes or bids from companies with a proven track record for quality and value.
Competitive solicitation will help ensure you are getting the best value available. We begin by preparing a quality performance based specification to utilize during the procurement process. We then recommend that you solicit responses from multiple sources.
This process will allow you to choose the bid or proposal from the most responsive and responsible bidder.
What does responsive and responsible mean?
For a bidder to be responsive they must meet all the terms, conditions and specifications contained in the request or advertisement. The submitted document must comply with the performance criteria and content requirements of the advertised documents. A few examples of a non-responsive bid include: A responsible bidder has the ability to perform and or deliver the product as described in the contract. A responsible bidder has the facility, resources, employees and references to ensure it conforms to the contract and performs as agreed upon. A few examples of how bidders may no be considered responsible:
Whether pricing was requested in a certain way, a mandatory pre-bid conference was attended or specific bond was requested.
These are just a few examples of what to look for and how to avoid problems during your procurement process.
