The RFQ solicits quotes for 59 line items consisting of various transit bus components and parts, including sensors, coolers, glass panels, controllers, bearings, gaskets, and related mechanical and electrical components. The quantities requested range from one to sixty units per line item. The RFQ was released on August 26, 2026, with responses required by August 27, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. All bids must be submitted electronically through the e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/go-metro; bids submitted through any other method will be considered non-responsive. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive price.

Pricing must be all-inclusive and include all freight charges. Bidders are required to note lead times in days in the NOTES column of the bid pricing form, reflecting the time required to fulfill the entire delivered quantity for each line item. If parts quoted are not original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts or differ from the specifically requested part number, bidders must identify the alternative part number using the format (RM#######). Any applicable core fees must be entered in the NOTES field. Quotes are valid for 30 days from submission. Bidders unable to supply specific parts should select "no bid" for those items. Award decisions will consider bidder responsibility factors including character, integrity, reputation, compliance with federal and state regulations including disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, financial resources, technical capability, past performance records, and ability to meet delivery schedules.

Past failure to apply sufficient tenacity, perseverance, and effort to perform acceptably is strong evidence of non-responsibility. Failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining satisfactory performance.

11. The Bidder’s compliance with contract terms;

12. Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on whether the bidder is responsible and has submitted a responsive bid.
