The purpose of this solicitation is to procure Honeywell‑based and related proprietary access control components, associated software, integration utilities, labor for installation and repairs, and ongoing maintenance necessary to support ODPS facilities statewide. Deliverables must ensure full compatibility with the existing access control platform and adhere to ODPS operational and security standards.

CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY: See attached (ad hoc) contract solicitation document "Sample Contract/Terms and Conditions" for specifications, requirements, terms, and conition. Winning bidder shall execute contract document (items in red will be changed prior to award).

BRAND NAME: The product(s) specified in this bid are being bid as BRAND (and model) SPECIFIC. That signifies no alternates will be accepted for award. Bid is in accordance with the Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-10 (D) (6).

EVALUATION: Bids will be evaluated in accordance with ORC 125.07. For evaluation purposes only, the State will apply each bidder’s proposed normal‑hours labor rates, after‑hours labor rates, and materials percentage mark‑up to the estimated quantities, contained within the four defined market baskets. The extended totals for all market baskets will then be combined to determine the bidder’s overall evaluated cost.
Only the market basket calculations will be used for evaluation. The resulting contract award will be based solely on the bidder’s proposed time‑and‑materials rates, after‑hours rates, and defined percentage mark‑up(s), not on the market basket quantities themselves.

CONTRACT AWARD: The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by low lot total. The low lot total will be determined by multiplying the unit prices by the estimated usage listed in the bid and then adding each of the totals together to arrive at a total for all items. Failure to bid all items may result in the bidder being deemed not responsive.
