The CAC recommends to deny awarding the phase III strength equipment contract to
FitCO (the lowest bid) due to the fact that FitCO did not meet bid request specifications
as documented below. The CAC recommends the bid contract be awarded to
Commercial Fitness Solutions (vendor #2):
1) Item 1 quoted by FitCO does not meet the bid specifications. The specifications
required a lower back/abdominal machine while the model that FitCO quoted is
solely a lower back machine.
2) Item 2 quoted by FitCO does not meet the bid specifications. The specifications
required a pectoral fly/rear deltoid machine while the model quoted by FitCO is
solely a pectoral fly machine.
3) Item 3 quoted by FitCO does not meet the bid specifications. The bid specifications
for Item 3 were a Cybex-5420 which has a built in weight tree and pull up bar. Item 3
quoted by FitCO is a basic power cage with no weight tree or pull-up bar. This
means that additional purchases would be required to meet these needs.
4) Item 4 quoted by FitCO meets bid specifications, however, the model quoted by
FitCO operates on a guide rail that requires maintenance and is subject to rusting
while the model quoted by Commercial Solutions does not operate on a guide rail.
The second issue is that the CAC fitness room already has three of the models quoted
by Commercial Fitness Solutions and the model recommended by FitCO will take
away from the uniformity of the CAC fitness room.
5) Item 6 quoted by FitCO is of equal quality to that of Item 6 quoted by Commercial
Fitness Solutions and meets bid specifications, however, the model quoted by FitCO
is not user friendly to patrons of larger stature while the model quoted by Commercial
Fitness Solutions provides equal access for patrons of all shapes and sizes.
6) Finally, the CAC currently has uniformed strength equipment and uniformed
cardiovascular equipment in it's fitness room. The CAC desires to keep a uniformed
look and functionality in it's fitness room equipment. The lowest bid by FitCO will
add five pieces of strength equipment to the CAC fitness room that do not coordinate
with the current look or functionality of the strength equipment that it provides. By
awarding the bid to Commercial Fitness Solutions, who provided the strength
equipment during phase I and phase II of this project, all nine pieces that are being
added in FY08 (phase III) will remain in that same uniformity that was accomplished
during phases I & II.
