Agreement for Bid 042617 - Konica Milnolta.pdf
Summary: The Perris Union High School District currently leases 50 copiers districtwide. The copiers have reached the end of lease on their leasing agreements requiring renewal of existing leases or removal of the machines from the location. It is the primary goal of the District to seek and maintain best cost pricing for all items and services purchased while ensuring minimal disruption in services.

In keeping with this practice and to ensure compliance with Public Contract Code 20111 for the acquisition of new copier leases, the District formally issued and advertised for bids on March 23, 2017 and March 30, 2017. A Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting was held on April 4, 2017 at the District Office at 1:00 P.M. with 18 copier/printer companies attending.

April 11, 2017 was the deadline for Requests for Interpretation submittals, with the District issuing a response by April 18th, 2017. Bids were due to the District on April 26, 2017 at 3:30 P.M.

Below is a list of vendors who submitted bids:
1) Konica Minolta
2) SCCS
3) Xerox Image Source
4) Valley Office Equipment
5) Toshiba Business Solutions
6) Sharp Business Systems
7) Caltronics
8) SoCal Office Technologies
9) Century Business Services
10) Canon USA
11) CBE

As part of the consultant agreement awarded at the November 2016 Board Meeting, Client Advantage conducted a print analysis and assisted District staff with specifications, terms and conditions that to be included in the bid.

Each bid was comprised of Company Overview, Digital Copier, Service and Supply Pricing Expectations and Responses to Performance Expectations. All bids were evaluated by the District’s Bid Evaluation Team, comprised of members of the District’s Business Services, Information Technology and Client Advantage. The final step was to interview the three three lowest responsive bidders. Education Code 20118.1 allows districts to select one of the three lowest responsive bidders for the procurement or maintenance, or both, of electronic data-processing systems and supporting software in any manner the board deems appropriate. These interviews were conducted on May 11, 2017.

The overwhelming consensus from the Evaluation Team was to select Konica Minolta based on the following factors:

1) Training
2) Service Support
3) Product Capabilities and Software Solutions
4) Billing / Invoicing Support
5) Commitment to Quarterly Performance Reviews
6) Price
