The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) on behalf of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Surplus Property (DAS SP) for the replacement of batteries on two Toyota electric forklifts, specifically model 7FBCU30. The procurement is situated in Marion County and the City of Salem, with the work to be completed at the Surplus Property warehouse in Salem, OR. The successful vendor will be required to provide new replacement batteries, complete battery installation, and ensure the forklifts are fully operational by Friday, May 19, 2023. Vendors must submit comprehensive quotes by 4:00 PM PT on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, directly to Nathan C. Ramos via email. The total bid must include detailed cost components: per battery pricing, installation costs, potential shipping expenses, old battery disposal/recycling fees, and any core charges. All batteries must be new, with no refurbished or used batteries accepted, and vendors may propose alternate products that meet or exceed the specified minimum requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The RFQ does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises, nor does it specify incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements. Additionally, the documents do not provide a precise budget range or anticipated award value for the battery replacement project. Vendors are expected to provide competitive pricing based on the comprehensive requirements, including battery replacement, installation, and recycling of the existing batteries. The procurement appears open to any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications for the Toyota electric forklift batteries and able to complete the work within the specified timeframe.
