Rowan County received proposals for two (2) 500 Gallon Attack Foam Trailers for Rowan County Emergency Services - Fire Division. Five bid responses were received. After careful evaluation of experience, completeness of response, exceptions, price and delivery schedule, The County would like to award the bid to Southeastern Specialty Vehicles; not to exceed $237,488.00.
Based on the award criteria, The County will award based on the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, taking into consideration quality, performance, and the time specified in the bids for the performance of the contract. The lowest bid (First Class Emergency Vehicles) was rejected due to an incomplete bid document. Pages 4-5 of the bid documents were not completed as required. The responses for vendors confirmation of requirements with authorized initials, are required as part of the bid response.
