1. Overview:

It is the objective of the County to purchase products with the lowest overall environmental impact from manufacturing through end of life and to procure services that achieve this same objective. To meet this objective, environmental factors and product attributes are evaluated in the procurement process. The County is mandated under Measure D to divert seventy five percent (75%) of material from landfill through recycling and source reduction and to encourage markets for environmentally preferable goods through its procurement process. Outlined below is an overview of the specific aspects of the County’s Resource Conservation & Recycling Program which apply to Bidders. Additional requirements are included in relevant sections throughout the bid.

2. Environmental Compliance:

Manufacturers and service providers will be in compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental and worker health and safety regulations that apply to their operation.

3. Recycled Content and Price Preference:

All products for which the EPA has established minimum recycled content standard guidelines, such as those for printing and janitorial papers, construction, parks and recreational materials, etc., will contain the highest post-consumer content practicable, but no less than the minimum recycled content standards established by the EPA Guidelines. See the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/procure/products.htm) for a list of recycled content guidelines.

To encourage the purchase of products that maximize the post-consumer recycled content, a ten percent (10%) price preference is applied to products that exceed the

Page 10: ACGOV.org | Alameda County Government  · Web viewThe average daily population is approximately four thousand eight hundred (4,800) total inmates housed in two (2) facilities ...

Specifications, Terms & Conditionsfor Inmate Commissary

minimum bid specifications by a specified percentage. The price preference is solely for the purposes of comparing bid pricing. The specified percentages of post-consumer recycled content required to receive the bid preference are outlined in the appropriate bid sections and an explanation of how the preference is applied is included in the “Terms and Conditions” section. The preference is applied on a product-by-product basis.

4. Source Reduction and Packaging:

The County has a strong commitment to source reduction, minimizing waste generation, and reducing the County’s expenditure on waste disposal and recycling. Bidders shall provide bulk packaging, reusable, or minimal packaging in providing products to the County. Packaging will be both made from recycled materials and be recyclable. Contractors should explore and provide opportunities for the reuse of packaging materials. In the bid response, Bidders shall include a written summary of their planned efforts to minimize the amount of packaging and shipping materials and should describe the post-consumer recycled content of those materials.

Packaging shall not contain inks, dyes, pigments, stabilizers, or any other additives to which any lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium has been intentionally introduced. The sum of the concentration levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium shall not exceed one hundred (100) parts per million by weight. Packaging is discussed further in the “Technical and Performance Specification” section.

5. Pallets and Large-Volume Packaging:

Pallets and large-volume packaging materials will be taken back by the Contractors. The County encourages the use of pallets that meet the EPA’s minimum post-consumer recycled content guidelines for pallets that can be found at http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/procure/products/pallets.htm. In the case of large-volume packaging, the County prefers that the vendor reuse or recycle the material.

6. Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins:

In January 2002, the County passed a resolution “to encourage the reduction and where feasible, the elimination of [persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemical] (PBT) emissions…” The United States Environmental Protection Agency has established a list of twelve priority PBTs including dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury and its compounds, lead and others. The most current list can be found at the EPA’s website at www.epa.gov/opptintr/pbt/. Additionally, PBTs are listed in the CCR in Section 66261.24.

Specifications, Terms & Conditionsfor Inmate Commissary

Contractors must provide products and services that allow the County to comply with the PBT Resolution and must complete the certification statement included in the Attachments.

Bidders should provide products that do not contain, use, or generate PBTs. If no alternative materials are available, Bidders should notify the County in writing prior to providing such materials to the County or using these materials when providing services to the County.

7. Usage and Environmental Performance Reporting:

The County requires regularly scheduled usage reporting from vendors for the purposes of tracking environmental purchasing performance. Requirements are discussed in greater detail in the section titled, “Usage Reports.” The County will work with the successful Bidder to finalize the content and timing of these reports. It is highly desirable for vendors to provide annual environmental performance reports describing the vendor’s environmental performance of their products and operations.

8. Green Building:

The County passed a green building ordinance in the year 2002 that requires County construction projects to be built to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Silver standard and diversion of construction materials from landfill. Procurement of materials used in the construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings as well as furniture, fixtures, and other interiors will emphasize purchasing of recyclable, durable, energy-efficient and low-environmental impact products.

9. Energy Reduction, Global Warming:

In order to reduce the generation of global warming gases, as well as the County’s operating costs; contractors are expected to provide energy-efficient products to the County. All products for which the EPA Energy Star certification is available shall meet Energy Star certification. When Energy Star labels are not available, energy-efficient products that are in the upper twenty five percent (25%) of energy efficiency as designated by the Federal Energy Management Program are required. In addition, the County encourages contractors to implement energy reduction measures in their respective operations.

M. EVALUATION CRITERIA/SELECTION COMMITTEE

All proposals will be evaluated by a County Selection Committee (CSC). The County Selection Committee may be composed of County staff and other parties that may have expertise or experience in inmate commissary and vending machines services. The CSC will select a contractor in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP. The evaluation of the proposals shall be within the sole judgment and discretion of the CSC.

All contact during the evaluation phase shall be through the GSA-Purchasing Department only. Bidders shall neither contact nor lobby evaluators during the evaluation process. Attempts by Bidder to contact and/or influence members of the CSC may result in disqualification of Bidder.

The CSC will evaluate each proposal meeting the qualification requirements set forth in this RFP. Bidders should bear in mind that any proposal that is unrealistic in terms of the technical or schedule commitments, or unrealistically high or low in cost, will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the County’s requirements as set forth in this RFP.

Bidders are advised that in the evaluation of cost it will be assumed that the unit price quoted is correct in the case of a discrepancy between the unit price and an extension.

As a result of this RFP, the County intends to award a contract to the responsible bidder whose response conforms to the RFP and whose bid presents the greatest value to the County, all evaluation criteria considered. The combined weight of the evaluation criteria is greater in importance than cost in determining the greatest value to the County.

Specifications, Terms & Conditionsfor Inmate Commissary

The goal is to award a contract to the bidder that proposes the County the best quality as determined by the combined weight of the evaluation criteria. The County may award a contract of higher qualitative competence over the lowest priced response.

The basic information that each section should contain is specified below, these specifications should be considered as minimum requirements. Much of the material needed to present a comprehensive proposal can be placed into one of the sections listed. However, other criteria may be added to further support the evaluation process whenever such additional criteria are deemed appropriate in considering the nature of the goods and/or services being solicited.

Each of the following Evaluation Criteria below will be used in ranking and determining the quality of bidders’ proposals. Proposals will be evaluated according to each Evaluation Criteria, and scored on a five-point scale. The scores for all the Evaluation Criteria will then be added according to their assigned weight (below) to arrive at a weighted score for each proposal. A proposal with a high weighted total will be deemed of higher quality than a proposal with a lesser-weighted total. The final maximum score for any project is five hundred fifty (550) points including local and small and local or emerging and local preference points.

The evaluation process may include a two-stage approach including an initial evaluation of the written proposal and preliminary scoring to develop a short list of bidders that will continue to the final stage of oral presentation and interview and reference checks.  The preliminary scoring will be based on the total points, excluding points allocated to references, oral presentation and interview.  If the two stage approach is used, the three (3) bidders receiving the highest preliminary scores and with at least 200 points will be invited to an oral presentation and interview.  Only the bidders meeting the short list criteria will proceed to the next stage.  All other bidders will be deemed eliminated from the process.  All bidders will be notified of the short list participants; however, the preliminary scores at that time will not be communicated to bidders. 

The zero to five-point scale range is defined as follows:

0 Not AcceptableNon-responsive, fails to meet RFP specification. The approach has no probability of success. If a mandatory requirement this score will result in disqualification of proposal.

1 PoorBelow average, falls short of expectations, is substandard to that which is the average or expected norm, has a low probability of success in achieving objectives per RFP.

2 Fair Has a reasonable probability of success, however, some objectives may not be met.

3 Average Acceptable, achieves all objectives in a reasonable fashion per

RFP specification. This will be the baseline score for each item with adjustments based on interpretation of proposal by Evaluation Committee members.

4 Above Average / Good

Very good probability of success, better than that which is average or expected as the norm. Achieves all objectives per RFP requirements and expectations.

5 Excellent / Exceptional

Exceeds expectations, very innovative, clearly superior to that which is average or expected as the norm. Excellent probability of success and in achieving all objectives and meeting RFP specification.

The Evaluation Criteria and their respective weights are as follows:

Evaluation Criteria WeightA. Completeness of Response:

Responses to this RFP must be complete. Responses that do not include the proposal content requirements identified within this RFP and subsequent Addenda and do not address each of the items listed below will be considered incomplete, be rated a Fail in the Evaluation Criteria and will receive no further consideration.

Responses that are rated a Fail and are not considered may be picked up at the delivery location within 14 calendar days of contract award and/or the completion of the competitive process. Pass/Fail

B. Debarment and Suspension:Bidders, its principal and named subcontractors are not identified on the list of Federally debarred, suspended or other excluded parties located at www.epls.gov. Pass/Fail

C. Technical Criteria:In each area described below, an evaluation will be made of the probability of success of and risks associated with, the proposal response:1. System Design - Credit will be given for vendor

integration with the existing Alameda County accounting system. The County currently uses the Automated Jail Identification System (AJIS).

2. Software Design and Development - The evaluation will be based on compatibility with existing inmate accounting and vending equipment, management and data processing systems.

3. Ancillary Services - A comparison will be made of the proposed services with the requirements of this RFP. Credit will be given for convenience, responsiveness and technical expertise and enhancements not specifically required in the Specific Requirements. Credit will also be given for at risk youth or ex-offenders that will be trained for this contract. 10 Points

D. Commission Rate:The points for Commission Rate will be computed by using a formula which divides the estimated total commission amount offered by the vendor to the County by the highest estimated total commission amount offered to the County times the rating of five (5). Example: 30/30=1, 1 X 5 = 5 (The highest rating). This is then calculated times the weight. If the proposer has the highest estimated commission amount, it will receive a maximum rating of 5, any other bid will receive something lower than a rating of 5. While not reflected in the commission rate evaluation points, an evaluation may also be made of (a) reasonableness (i.e., does the proposed pricing accurately reflect the bidder’s effort to meet requirements and objectives?); (b) realism (i.e., is the proposed cost appropriate to the nature of the products and services to be provided?). 20 Points

G. References (See RFP Exhibit D-1 & D-2). Reference scores will only be added to the top three (3) bidders after interviews 5 Points

H. Overall Proposal: An evaluation will be made of the overall impact of the proposal to the inmate commissary and vending machine program. A proposal that presents the least cost and overall impact to the inmates, combined with the overall benefit for the IWF shall be given additional credit. Example: Indigent maintenance kits and/or recycling programs covered by the vendor. 15 Points

I. Oral Presentation and Interview:The oral presentation by each bidder shall not exceed sixty (60) minutes in length.  The oral interview will consist of standard questions asked of each of the bidders and specific questions regarding the specific proposal.  The proposals may then be re-evaluated and re-scored based on the oral presentation and interview. 10 Points

This form must be submitted for each business that bidders will work with, as evidence of a firm contractual commitment to meeting the SLEB participation goal. (Copy this form as needed.)

Bidders are encouraged to form a partnership with a SLEB that can participate directly with this contract. One of the benefits of the partnership will be economic, but this partnership will also assist the SLEB to grow and build the capacity to eventually bid as a prime on their own.

Once a contract has been awarded, bidders will not be able to substitute named subcontractors without prior written approval from the Auditor-Controller, Office of Contract Compliance (OCC).

County departments and the OCC will use the web-based Elation Systems to monitor contract compliance with the SLEB program (Elation Systems: http://www.elationsys.com/elationsys/index.htm).
