Electric and Non-Electric Bikes

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management & Budget, acting on behalf of the Bureau of Police, is seeking competitive bids for a procurement of electric and non-electric TREK bicycles through Request for Quote #2025-RFQ-148. The solicitation specifically requires the purchase of 7 bicycles: 2 medium electric bikes, 2 large electric bikes, and 3 medium non-electric bikes, all specified as black in color with 29x4.20" wheel size. The procurement is structured as a one-time purchase with a maximum bid threshold of $30,000, and vendors must submit electronic responses through a secure procurement portal by May 23, 2025, at 3:00 pm. Vendors are required to include shipping and delivery costs within their pricing, with the City explicitly stating that separate shipping or handling fees will not be accepted. The RFQ mandates that potential bidders complete a vendor registration form, submit a W-9, and provide purchase order contact information. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with standard terms and conditions, including legal compliance, invoicing requirements, confidentiality provisions, and anti-discrimination standards.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Purchase orders will be executed on an F.O.B. Destination basis, with payment terms set at net 45 days. The total procurement budget is capped at $30,000, which suggests this is a relatively modest procurement opportunity. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, the strict specification of TREK bike models indicates a preference for a specific bicycle manufacturer. Vendors must precisely match the outlined bike specifications and agree to all standard contractual terms to be considered for award. The procurement appears to be a straightforward acquisition to support the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police's equipment needs, with a clear focus on obtaining specific bicycle models for potential law enforcement or municipal use.
