Electric Cart - Idaho State Veterans Cemetery Boise, Idaho

The Idaho Division of Veterans Services (IDVS) is seeking to procure two new electric carts for the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery (ISVC) located in Boise, Ada County, Idaho. The solicitation requires vendors to provide electric vehicles meeting specific minimum specifications, including a 6 kW motor, 20 mph maximum speed, 4-passenger capacity, enclosed cab, weather-resistant features, and a 40-mile battery range. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) specifies that the carts must be brand new, with used equipment being deemed non-responsive. Vendors must submit a comprehensive response package including the completed Price Sheet (Exhibit B), detailed response to specifications, warranty information, and the IDVS Signature Page. The procurement timeline indicates that quotes are due by November 28, 2023, with a desired delivery window of 60 days from the order date. Award will be made to the responsive, responsible vendor with the lowest total cost, and the successful vendor must provide technical support, information manuals, service bulletins, and place ISVC on their dealer service bulletin mailing list.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline any set-aside designations or specific restrictions on respondent types, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documents. Vendors must meet specific insurance requirements, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile and umbrella liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and Idaho State Veterans Cemetery named as additional insured parties. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for two electric carts, implying a limited scope and potentially moderate investment. The contract appears to be a direct purchase with no mentioned multi-year commitment, though standard State of Idaho contract terms and conditions will apply. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with all specifications, provide comprehensive documentation, and be prepared to correct any deficiencies at their own expense within 30 days of initial inspection.
