RFB-0026_Appendix_H_-_Bidder_References.doc

The document is a Bidder References form (RFB-0026 Appendix H) for a vehicle procurement solicitation issued by a California county, seeking to establish a pool of qualified factory authorized vehicle dealers for purchasing multiple makes of current model year automobiles, light trucks, vans, and medium duty cab and chassis units weighing up to 19,500 pounds GVWR. The county intends to award a one-year contract with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms, potentially extending the contract to a total of five years. The procurement aims to secure multiple contracts, with one contract awarded to a dealer for each vehicle make that submits a responsive bid.

The procurement will be structured using a Triple Net Pricing model, where dealers will submit bids based on a markup cost over the Triple Net invoice for each vehicle make. The county expects to receive bids from dealers representing various makes and models ranging from sub-compact to medium duty truck classes. The reference form requires bidders to provide details for at least three customer references, with a preference for government agencies (city, county, special districts, state) or large private fleet customers, including contact information and the approximate number of vehicles delivered in the past 12 months.
