The School Board of Broward County, Florida, received two (2) bids for Bid 15-025B Disposable Industrial Wipes. The District utilizes disposable industrial wipes to clean tools, hands, remove, and clean stubborn soiled areas on doors, counters etc.
The estimated financial impact will be $500,000. Funds to purchase the disposable industrial wipes will come from departments' operating budget. Our anticipated cost savings will be $398,492. The financial impact amount represents an estimated contract value; however, the amount authorized will not exceed the estimated value.
In order to encourage competition and better pricing, prior to the release of Bid 15-025B on DemandStar, a letter was released requesting vendors to submit descriptive literature and samples of disposable wipes for performance testing. If the submitted samples met the District's specifications and the performance testing results were satisfactory, the manufacturer's disposable wipes would be considered an approved brand and be included in Bid 15-025B. The District received thirteen bids. Each Bidder offered a cost for various approved brands, therefore, encouraging competition and offering the District very low competitive pricing. Awarding Option B (warehouse delivery), and calculating the anticipated quantity by the cost per wipe, the District will pay $219,859 for the purchase of disposable industrial wipes for the term of the contract. If the District awarded Option A, the cost to the District would be $633,600. The District will be saving $413,741 over the term of the contract by stocking disposable industrial wipes in the warehouse. Additionally, the District, on Bid 28-088B, is currently paying more per wipe. Calculating the current price per wipe (.029278) by the number of anticipated wipes to be purchased (21,120,000), the District would be paying $618,351. Our anticipated cost savings will be $398,492.
