Electric Cart - Idaho State Veterans Cemetery Boise, Idaho

The Idaho Division of Veterans Services is seeking to procure two new electric carts for the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery located in Boise, Ada County. The solicitation, identified as Event 249, requires the purchase of electric carts such as the E4 Gem Cart or an equivalent model that meets specific technical specifications. These specifications include detailed requirements for power, configuration, drive, braking, battery, construction, tires and wheels, steering, controls, seating, and electrical charging capabilities. The procurement documents outline that the carts will be used on cemetery grounds, with a desired delivery timeline of 60 days after receipt of order. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest total cost, with the bid requiring a fully burdened price that includes all associated costs. The quote submission deadline is December 18, 2023, and vendors must provide technical support, information manuals, and warranties with their proposed electric carts.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified, and there are no explicit references to existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. While the specific budget range is not disclosed, the solicitation indicates that the state will procure two electric carts, suggesting a relatively modest procurement value. The contract will be awarded to the vendor who meets all minimum specifications and provides the lowest total cost, with the potential for the State of Idaho to reject any or all bids if they do not meet the required standards. The procurement falls under the jurisdiction of Ada County and will be managed through the Idaho Division of Purchasing.
