Subject:
RFP Review committee recommendation to award passenger
boarding shelter project to Brasco International, Inc.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memo is to recommend an award to purchase passenger
boarding shelters from Brasco International, Inc., Detroit, Michigan based on the
evaluation of proposals under RFP KLT Passenger Boarding Shelters 050323.
BACKGROUND
On May 24, 2004, the City Council approved a proposal for shelters, benches
and signs for the Downtown trolley route per the review conducted by the Port of
Dubuque Design Review Committee and the Historic Preservation Commission.
The council also approved changing the current CIP project for passenger
boarding facilities to include both structures in the Downtown and the Port of
Dubuque as well as structures throughout the KeyLine Transit fixed route.
An RFP Review Committee was formed and included the following City staff:
Mark Munson, Transit Manager
Karen Sisler, Operations Supervisor
Dave Heiar, Economic Development Director
Ken Tekippe, Finance Director
Wally Wiernimont, Planning Assistant
In September 2004, a request for price quotes was issued for those shelters
approved by the Port of Dubuque Design Review Committee and Historic
Preservation Commission. Discussions with the Iowa DOT over the specification
standards postponed the procurement until a Request for Proposals was
developed and approved by the DOT April 2005.
On May 25, 2005, the City of Dubuque KeyLine Transit received (3) proposals
from vendors responding to our direct mail solicitation and national advertisement
for passenger boarding shelters. KeyLine did not receive any protests to
specifications. The vendors submitting proposals were Handi-hut, Inc. Clifton, NJ,
Duo-Gard Industries, Canton, MI and Brasco International, Detroit, MI. Upon
review of the evaluation scoring summary, the Iowa DOT recommended staff to
request “best and final offers” from Handi-hut and Brasco International as both
proposals were considered to be within the competitive range. Handi-hut lowered
their price from $41,530 to $41,000 and Brasco maintained their original price
quotes of $39,670. Duo-Gard Industries quoted a price of $44,604.
KeyLine’s RFP Review Committee evaluated the proposals and scored them
according to the criteria presented in the RFP document which included technical
experience, responsiveness to the proposal, responsibility of the contractor to
perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the procurement and
cost. The maximum score a proposal could receive was 100 points.
?
Brasco International 94 points
?
Handi Hut, Inc 92 points
?
Duo-Gard Industries 91 points
A summary of the evaluation scoring from the RFP Review Committee and
copies of the proposal documents have been reviewed and approved by the Iowa
Department of Transportation who also concurs with the committee’s
recommendation to award to Brasco International.
RECOMMENDATION
The RFP Review committee recommends awarding a contract to purchase
passenger boarding shelters under RFP KLT Passenger Boarding Shelters
050323 to Brasco International, Inc, Detroit, Michigan.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost for procuring the 3 shelters for the downtown trolley route and the 7
additional shelters for the KeyLine fixed route is $39,670. KeyLine has a federal
grant that will fund up to 80% of approved costs and local match under an
approved CIP 050-436 to fully fund the project including installation. Costs
associated with assembly and installation of the shelters will range between $350
and $1,000 per shelter depending on the amount of demolition necessary to
remove existing benches and installation of new cement pads. Local contractors
will be solicited for price quotes to install the shelters.

Re: DBE Good Faith Efforts
As a long established designer and manufacturer of passenger waiting shelters, for transit
agencies throughout the United States, we keep up a constant search for DBE
manufacturer's of the small number of components that are utilized in the construction of
our shelters.
Our shelters are manufactured from aluminum extrusions, glass and various fasteners
here at our plant in Detroit, MI. There are only a few very large manufacturers of each of
these items and none are DBE's. We purchase directly from these companies and
fabricate all items at our plant. We do not subcontract out any work to outside companies.
Our company maintains a diverse workforce and is located in an urban setting near
downtown Detroit. We are a Hub-Zone certified company by the Small Business
Administration. As the requirements for such certification are very stringent. no other
company in our Industry has this designation. We do not discriminate for any reason in
the hiring, promotion of personnel or the procurement of materials used in our plant.
Ifwe can provide any additional information, o( you would like to schedule a plant tour
to review our facilities, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-893-3665.
