2024-5375-016 Batteries for Electric Carts

The Colorado Convention Center, located in Denver County and Denver City, is seeking a procurement for batteries for electric carts through Solicitation 2024-5375-016. The Request for Quote (RFQ) is specifically soliciting multiple battery types, including 12V, 6V, and 8V batteries from various manufacturers, to be purchased on an as-needed basis with potentially fluctuating quantities. The procurement requires vendors to provide detailed, itemized quotes that include quantity, description, unit price, sales tax, delivery timeframes, technical specifications, warranty information, and payment terms. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of battery products, their uses, and troubleshooting capabilities. The response deadline is November 19, 2024, with an initial supply agreement term of one year from the date of award. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical specifications, delivery capabilities, and overall responsiveness to the RFQ requirements. Vendors are expected to provide firm pricing, clear delivery expectations, and maintain necessary permits and licenses at their own expense.

The RFQ encourages vendor certification as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), or other designated business type recognized by the City and County of Denver or the State of Colorado. The Vendor Certification form provides opportunities for businesses to self-identify as Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), or other minority-owned business categories. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests an ongoing, flexible purchasing arrangement for battery replacements at the Colorado Convention Center. Potential vendors must complete the comprehensive Vendor Certification form, which requires detailed company information including establishment year, SIC/NAICS codes, and contact details. The solicitation appears designed to create a flexible supply arrangement that can accommodate the convention center's evolving electric cart battery requirements, with potential for multiple vendors to be selected based on their specific battery offerings and certifications.
