MEMORANDUM
TO: David Timmons
FROM: Catherine McNabb
Subject: Bid Results for Daniel Defense Rifles
The City called for bids for 20 Daniel Defense rifles with sights and carrying cases.
There was a provision for brand substitutions. All requests for substitutions needed to
be submitted by 5:00 PM, Thursday, February 23, 2017.
We had one request for substitution from Battle Rifle. Upon examination of their
specifications and online reviews of the rifle, Chief Evans decided that no substitution by
this brand was allowed. Battle Rifle submitted a bid with the disallowed substitution.
Therefore this bid is rejected as non-responsive.
Wade's Eastside Gun Shop submitted a bid with a total price of$29,626.20 which was
the apparent low bid. However, when I reviewed the proposal they did not charge tax on
the shipping nor did they include shipping in their total bid. I verified with the
Washington State Department of Revenue that shipping is a taxable item. The inclusion
of shipping and the tax on the shipping increased their bid by $407.85 bringing the total
to $30,034.95. This is the second lowest bid.
Kiesler Police Supply of Jeffersonville, Indiana has the low bid of$29.988.95.
