This is an email approval document from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California regarding Request for Quote 250433 for bottled drinking water and dispenser rental services. The OCTA seeks quotes for five-gallon bottled water and dispenser rental services on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed usage. The contract term is structured as an initial three-year period with two optional one-year renewal terms. Written questions or clarifications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. on August 26, 2026, with the Authority committing to respond through written addendum by September 1, 2026. Award will be made to the lowest, responsive, and responsible firm on a lump sum basis, and the Authority reserves the right to make an award without further discussion.

The total budget allocated for this effort is $21,600.00 for the initial three-year term. By submitting a quote, all firms must certify they are not subject to Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions imposed by the State of California or the United States Government, including Presidential Executive Orders 13660, 13661, 13662, 13685, and 14065. The successful firm will be required to comply with all applicable Equal Employment Opportunity Laws and Regulations and agree to the terms and conditions outlined in Exhibit C, the "Orange County Transportation Authority General Provisions." The email indicates internal approval to proceed with the RFQ on August 6, 2026.
