Equipment Rental, Sales, and Services

The Cooperative Council of Governments (CCOG), acting on behalf of Equalis Group, is soliciting proposals for a Master Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for equipment rental, sales, and services. This IDIQ contract is designed to provide public sector agencies across the United States with access to equipment and related services, including installation, technical support, training, and skilled labor such as electricians and site services technicians. The initial term of the agreement is four years, with a potential one-year renewal or an automatic two-year extension. Award decisions are based on a combination of technical capabilities, which account for 65 percent of the score, and cost proposals, which account for 35 percent, provided a minimum technical threshold of 45 points is met. Winning suppliers must adhere to strict regulatory and safety standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and OSHA safety regulations. Specifically, vendors must not have more than one willful OSHA violation in the last three years and must maintain an Experience Modification Rating of 1.5 or lower. Administratively, the winning supplier is required to pay a monthly administrative fee to Equalis based on a percentage of the total revenue invoiced to program participants. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal, including a technical proposal and a cost proposal provided in a specific Excel format.
