Legal notice ITB RC Intersection 23-042.pdf

This is a legal notice for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) on behalf of the State of Oregon Surplus Property for the procurement of high-frequency modular electric forklift chargers. The solicitation seeks four chargers consisting of both single and dual charge units with specific technical specifications including voltage compatibility ranging from 24 to 96 volts, battery voltage ranges suitable for both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, and efficiency standards up to 97%. The chargers must meet precise dimensional constraints and module configuration requirements, with Crown Equipment Corporation's V-HFM3 Series referenced as a potential model. Bidders are invited to submit proposals for products that meet or exceed the outlined technical specifications, with the submission deadline set for May 24, 2023, and a requested delivery date no later than June 30, 2023. The solicitation encompasses Marion County and Salem City jurisdictions in Oregon and includes provisions for alternate bids meeting or surpassing specifications, with DAS PS retaining sole discretion in determining product equivalency.

The RFQ does not specify an explicit budget range but requires pricing to include the cost of charging units, shipping, and associated fees. No specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are detailed in the documentation. The procurement appears open to manufacturers and distributors capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery timeline. The chargers' modular design allows for configuration flexibility and potential upgrades to increase power output. Evaluation of vendors will be based on their ability to meet technical specifications, deliver within the specified timeline, and provide overall value to the State.
