Emergency Vehicle Electrical Parts

The County of Sacramento is soliciting bids for emergency vehicle electrical parts through Request for Bids (RFB) #2024-RFB-0402, targeting the County's Fleet Services Division. The procurement will provide electrical parts and accessories on an as-needed basis, with the potential to award contracts to multiple vendors. Qualified vendors must submit comprehensive pricing tables, customer references, and comply with the County's environmental purchasing policy emphasizing recycled and environmentally preferable products. Key bid documents include Appendix D (Fleet Services Division Shop Locations) and Appendix I (Pricing Table), which vendors must carefully review and complete. The critical dates for this opportunity include a question submission deadline of November 7, 2024, with bid responses required by November 22, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Electronic submissions must be made through the ProcureNow portal, with the County planning to award the contract on December 19, 2024. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, pricing competitiveness, and compliance with local procurement requirements.

The RFB includes specific preference programs for local and micro-businesses, offering a 5% preference for local businesses and a 2% preference for certified micro-businesses located in the Sacramento Regional Market Area. The contract has a maximum estimated value of $600,000, though no minimum purchase commitment is guaranteed, and the initial term is 12 months with potential extensions up to five years and six months. Vendors must meet several compliance requirements, including child support order documentation, hold harmless clauses, and adherence to environmental purchasing guidelines. The multiple-award structure allows the County to select one or more primary and secondary vendors, with end-user departments required to solicit quotes to ensure competitive pricing. Delivery expectations include fulfilling orders within 30 days, and vendors must provide warranties covering parts and workmanship for 90 days or the manufacturer's warranty, whichever is longer. The contract is available for use by the Department of General Services and Department of Airports, providing flexibility in procurement across county agencies.
