Notice of Intent Fire Apparatus_3 Units_FLEET.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent from the City of Eugene, Oregon, indicating the municipality's participation in a cooperative procurement contract administered by Sourcewell for fire apparatus equipment. The City of Eugene intends to purchase three (3) Pierce Manufacturing fire apparatus units consisting of one tractor-drawn aerial ladder, one aerial platform, and one velocity pumper through an interstate cooperative procurement process authorized under Oregon Revised Statutes 279A.220 and Administrative Rule 44-14-08-F. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to Sourcewell's competitive request for proposals process (Contract 113021-OKC1). Vendor comments regarding this procurement are due by 3:00 P.M. on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, and should be submitted via email to Eugene.Purchasing@ci.eugene.or.us.

The estimated procurement amount for the fire apparatus purchase is $4,427,348.00. The notice does not specify set-asides, incumbent vendors, or renewal options. This procurement leverages Sourcewell's cooperative contracting framework, which allows the City of Eugene to participate in a pre-competed contract without conducting its own independent competitive bidding process. The cooperative procurement mechanism streamlines the acquisition of specialized fire-fighting equipment while maintaining compliance with Oregon's public procurement statutes.
