Brief History
On May 16, 2008, the Procurement Division of Finance formally advertised, issued and distributed the Debris Management Service Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2008.05.05 to forty one (41) potential proposers. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on May 22, 2008.
On June 12, 2008, ten (10) responses were received; Bergeron Emergency Services, Ceres Environmental Services, Inc, AshBritt, Inc, Phillips & Jordan, Inc, JB Coxwell Disaster Recovery Services, ATL Disaster Recovery, Storm Reconstruction Services (SRS), Inc, DRC Emergency Services, LLC, Crowder Disaster Recovery and D&J Enterprises, Inc. submitted responsive proposals. ATL Disaster Recovery was considered non responsive because it did not provide a 5% Bid Bond as requested on the RFP.
On June 18, 2008 the Selection Committee completed their evaluation based on Qualifications/Experience, Operational Plan for the City, Resources/Availability, Past Performance and Pricing. The following summarizes their ranking and recommendation:
Rank by Committee Proposer Points
1 AshBritt, Inc. 96
2 Ceres Environmental 89
3 JB Coxwell Disaster Recovery 86
4 DRC Emergency Services 80
4 D&J Enterprises 80
5 Crowder Disaster 77
6 SRS, Inc. 67
7 Bergeron Emergency Serv. 59
8 Phillips & Jordan 55
On June 26, 2008 this item was presented to the City Commission requesting permission to negotiate a standard pricing structure for all three highest proposers.
Efforts to negotiate a standard pricing structure with the three proposers were not successful and as a result it is recommended that the commission authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with the three (3) highest proposers based on their original proposals of June 12, 2008.
