The Range Austin is accepting bids for Furniture for their new location
opening
in Austin, TX.
Please read this complete
ebid,
all email notices, and the Sorcity Member Agreement, in full, so you
understand
the bid guidelines and are properly prepared for this bid if your
company
qualifies and would like to participate.
The Buyer would like to award to one Supplier who is able to provide the
products, quality and service-levels outlined in this bid document.
After the bidding ends, the Buyer may contact several low
bidders to further understand their capabilities and evaluate
equivalents and
additional benefits before an award is
made (see Key Dates below).
PLEASE NOTE:
To ensure the bid process remains fair, any direct
contact with the Buyer regarding this opportunity,
during or after this bid process, until the Buyer contacts
you, will cause you to be in violation of the bid process and be
eligible for
penalties (see Sorcity
Member
Agreement).
BID STRUCTURE:
If you are able to provide and bid
on all
items listed and meet all terms and conditions stated, then you
are invited
to bid in this ebid. You may not bid otherwise.
Please perform honorably. Bids will
only be
accepted through this ebid.
Bidding in any other manner, or attempting to sell directly to one of
the
Buyer's locations will
disqualify you for this business for the term of the award and
will
remove you from good standing with the Buyer and Sorcity for future
business.
We look forward to your
participation and help in maintaining the integrity of this fair and
objective
bid process.
Please comply with the instructions in the
Bid Notice email you were
sent informing you of this opportunity including any reminders and

Line Item Worksheet: (LIW)
Sorcity is providing you this
Line Item
Worksheet as one of the bid documents, to list your per unit
pricing, which will automatically calculate the
“Total” bid price. Only the “Total” from the Worksheet may
be entered as
your bid in the online Event. Do not attempt to enter line item
prices online or your bid will be
inaccurate.
Please
be sure to
save the Line Item Worksheet to your desktop first, and then
use it to
work up your Bid. This will allow you to promptly return
this
worksheet once the bidding ends.
Please
follow the instructions including filling in all items
highlighted in green
such as your Dun & Bradstreet number and Unit Prices where
noted, as it is
part of this bid package.
The furniture
items in the
Line Item Worksheet are listed with respect to the room in which
they will
be placed, therefore you will see duplicate items, since for
example, the
same model chair may be placed in multiple rooms.
In
order to mitigate mistakes and ensure that the ebid Opening Bid
value
accommodates your pricing, you must email your initial pricing
in the Line
Item Worksheet to Sorcity at least 2-days in advance of placing
your opening
bids online per the Key Dates below.
YOUR
COMPLETED FINAL LINE ITEM WORKSHEET IS A REQUIREMENT AND MUST BE
RETURNED TO
SORCITY WITHIN (1) HOUR AFTER THE BID ENDS, regardless of your
bid position. Failure to do so may render your
bid unacceptable and invoke penalties.
Substitutes, of equivalent or better
quality and performance, will be allowed for those items
highlighted in
yellow. If you bid a substitute, then you must enter
the description in the
"Substitute Make and OEM Number" columns, highlighted
in yellow. If you can provide the original

award to as few Suppliers

Regarding substitutes: The
Buyer has already completed an initial evaluation
process to determine the
furniture package they would like on site, so there
should not be a
significant number of substitutes bid. If
requested after the bid, for
those items you chose to bid as substitutes, pictures
must me be made
available for the Buyer's review. The Buyer may
also request to
physically evaluate some items, should the pictures not
be sufficient, so
please plan accordingly for this.
Durability of material is
important since this is a gun range and equipment may
come in contact with
furniture which must hold up to such equipment and
resist scratching and
easy damage.
Similar
items that may be
purchased later, that are not included on this list,
must be offered at
similar discounts.
We
appreciate your
