The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) ISD15-0137B for maintenance services on two Formax Model FD676 Bursting, Trimming, Stacking machines located at the DMV Computer Operations in Sacramento, California. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance services, including 24/7 remedial maintenance with 2-hour phone response and 4-hour on-site response times. Technicians must have a minimum of two years experience with Formax burster cutter equipment and will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, tools, parts, equipment, supervision, travel, shipping, insurance, and incidental costs. Preventative maintenance is required every six months for the two machines with serial numbers 1351 and 1352. Written questions were due by March 21, 2016 at 10:00 AM PDT, with quotes due by April 4, 2016 at 2:00 PM PDT. The anticipated contract award date is April 14, 2016, with a contract term of three years, and the selected contractor must be able to commence work within 10 business days of contract award.

The RFQ includes provisions for small business and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) preferences, offering a 5% bid preference for certified small businesses or non-small businesses that subcontract at least 25% to certified small businesses. While the DVBE requirement has been waived, DVBE incentives ranging from 3-5% are available based on participation levels. Pricing must be submitted using the provided cost sheet, which includes monthly and annual rates for each machine. The procurement is open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and maintenance requirements for the specialized Formax equipment. Although no specific budget range is outlined in the available documentation, the contract appears to be focused on maintaining critical document processing machinery for the DMV's computer operations. Potential bidders should carefully review the RFQ documentation to ensure compliance with all technical and administrative requirements.
