Notice of Intent to Purchase Interstate Cooperative HGAC - RC Mower.doc

This file is a Notice of Intent to Purchase through Interstate Cooperative Procurement issued by Clean Water Services District in Oregon, utilizing the Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Purchasing Program (HGAC). Clean Water Services intends to purchase one Tracked 52" Rotary RC Mower from Owen Equipment Company, the local authorized dealer for EmbankScape Equipment LLC (Embank). The mower was selected through HGAC's Sealed Bid Solicitation No. GR01-20, which requested competitive bids for Grounds & Turf Equipment. The contract award to Embank was finalized through the interstate cooperative procurement process. Prospective vendors had until August 7, 2023, to submit written comments regarding the District's intent to purchase through this cooperative procurement channel.

The purchase price for the mower is $66,912.86. The procurement was conducted through an interstate cooperative purchasing agreement, which allows Clean Water Services to leverage HGAC's competitive bidding process rather than conducting an independent solicitation. This cooperative procurement method streamlines the purchasing process while maintaining competitive procurement standards. Vendors interested in protesting or commenting on the purchase could submit written remarks to Heidi Blasingame, Procurement Coordinator, at the District's Hillsboro, Oregon address prior to the August 7, 2023 deadline.
