The Range Austin is accepting bids for Janitorial Services for their new location in Austin, TX. The term of this award covers an initial 5-year period plus subsequent 2-year extensions, as agreed-to between Buyer and Seller, provided performance and pricing is on track. 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 to bid if your company qualifies and would like to gain this business.
 

The Buyer would like to establish a long-term relationship with a Supplier who is able to provide the quality and service-levels outlined in this bid document.  The anticipated start date for this award is November, 2016.

Although price is an important element of this award, this is not a price-only decision. Other factors to be considered include: quality, service-levels, responsiveness and relationship. After the bidding ends, the Buyer may contact several low bidders to further understand the capabilities and additional benefits you might have to offer, before an award is made (see Key Dates below).  This is also an opportunity to begin establishing relationships.

PLEASE NOTE: 

To ensure the bid process remains fair, with the exception of the onsite tour, any direct contact with the Buying Organization 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).

SITE TOUR:

A site tour is scheduled, per the Key Dates below, so that you may see the space to be cleaned and accurately quote the required services. Attendance is mandatory to ensure your bid is accurate and is by invitation only.  If you are able to meet the terms of this bid, and wish to join the tour, you must contact Sorcity to discuss you qualifications, interest, and understanding of the bid.  You should also have completed your Sorcity registration which includes signing the Member Agreement provided in the initial emails.  Sorcity will then provide your company name for consideration.

BID STRUCTURE:

If you are able to provide and bid on all items listed, and meet all terms and conditions stated (or exceptions asked and granted), then you are invited to bid in this ebid. You may not bid otherwise.  

Please perform honorably.  Bids will only be accepted through this e bid.  Bidding in any other manner, or attempting to sell directly to the Buyer in any other manner, 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.

Additional bid guidelines:

1. Please follow the instructions in the Bid Notice email(s) you were sent and any reminders and updates provided.

2. Buyer is requesting Bidder's best price in the bid to include: rebates, allowances, and other incentive programs. The Buyer does not want these other incentive programs in addition to the price, but rather included as part of a best-price bid. This eliminates tracking and auditing of these ancillary programs and provides straightforward pricing.

Line Item Worksheet:

1. Sorcity is providing you this Line Item Worksheet as one of the bid documents, to list your Monthly Rate, which will automatically calculate the “Total” bid price. Only the “Total” from the Worksheet may be entered as your bid in the online Event.

2. 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 your completed copy of the worksheet once the bidding ends.

3. Follow the instructions, which include filling in all items highlighted in green such as your Dun & Bradstreet number and Unit Prices where noted, as it is part of your reply to this bid package.

4. In order to avoid 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 prior to opening bid day online (see Key Dates below).

5. 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.
