Event 1455 - Request for Quotes - AMENDED.pdf

This is an Amended Request for Quotes issued by the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Idaho State Veterans Home in Pocatello for the procurement of commercial-grade washing machines and dryers. The RFQ (Event 1455) solicits quotes for new, unused equipment as specified in Exhibits A and B, with all manufacturer-standard components and accessories required for complete operation. Quotes are due October 13, 2026, and award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder as defined by Idaho Code. The contract term commences on the effective date and expires on the service end date identified in the contract header, with renewal provisions allowing periods equal to the initial term or as mutually agreed, provided the total contract duration does not exceed five years including all renewals. All bids remain firm for ninety days after the scheduled closing date unless otherwise specified.

Bidders must complete Exhibit C with unit costs and total pricing for equipment supply, delivery, and installation at the Pocatello facility. The contractor bears all responsibility for shipping, delivery, installation costs, and risk of loss until state acceptance. Pricing is fixed during the initial term and any renewal periods unless the Purchasing Authority accepts a written price increase supported by evidence of unforeseeable cost increases beyond the contractor's control. For statewide contracts, contractors must remit an administrative fee of 1.25 percent based on net quarterly sales to the Division of Purchasing along with quarterly usage reports. Prices must be submitted in U.S. Dollars and are subject to public disclosure under Idaho Public Records Law. Vendors may designate specific technical or proprietary information as exempt if properly marked on a page-by-page basis with a corresponding list provided separately. Evaluation will be based on price, product quality, equipment specifications, and vendor qualifications.
