The City of Muskegon will be conducting interviews for the purpose of selecting a company to provide copier and printer equipment (and related services) for five years and invites your company to participate.

The City seeks a contract that is based on a cost per page price which price is to be inclusive of toner and all supplies (except paper), maintenance and repairs. A list of the copiers and printers currently covered by this contract is attached. This list should serve as the basis for preparing your pricing proposal – i.e. the equipment you propose should meet or exceed the capabilities and functionality of the current listed equipment fleet and you should develop your pricing proposal accordingly.

However, the City is not seeking to simply replace the current equipment fleet. We are looking for a company that best demonstrates its ability to analyze the City’s current and future needs and deliver a proposal that provides the most flexible and cost-effective solution for the next five years. We encourage you to propose innovative ideas and ways to meet the City’s copier/printer needs.

It is the City’s intent to select the firm that provides the best overall value rather than simply choosing the “low bidder”. Accordingly, in addition to pricing, other factors will be considered including (but not limited to): availability of value-added service enhancements, availability and commitment to implementing new technologies, independent ratings of equipment offerings, financial strength of your company, guaranteed response time, flexibility to add/change/delete equipment, training
resources available to the City, references, equipment warranties, etc.

The selection process will consist of three components: 1) pre-bid walkthrough of City facilities, 2) company presentation/interview/demonstration and, 3) sealed pricing proposal.

• 9/9/11 – Pre-bid meeting and facility walkthrough
• 9/29/11 – Company presentations to selection panel (60 minutes each)
• 9/30/11 – Opening of price proposals
• 10/11/11 – Recommendation to City Commission
