Golf Cart Rental

The State of California Military Department is soliciting bids for golf cart rental services at Camp San Luis Obispo, located at 10 Sonoma Ave., San Luis Obispo, CA 93405, to support the California Cadet Corps Summer Encampment from June 12 through June 29, 2026. The procurement requires the contractor to furnish six lithium electric golf carts with chargers and all associated labor, equipment, materials, permits, and fees necessary to deliver the rental services over the 18-day encampment period. Each golf cart must accommodate six persons with a minimum cargo capacity of 1,200 pounds, minimum 40-mile range per charge, minimum 15 mph speed, DOT-compliant safety features including seat belts and windshields, minimum 4-inch ground clearance, and compatible chargers capable of full recharge in 4-8 hours using standard 120V/15-20A outlets, along with weatherproof extension cords and adapters. The contractor must also provide equipment maintenance, on-call repair services within twelve hours of notification with replacement within four hours if repairs cannot be completed, delivery and pickup setup, charging infrastructure configuration, personnel training on safe charging procedures, and compliance with military installation security protocols. Written questions must be submitted by March 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM to Christopher Russell at Bids@cmd.ca.gov, sealed bids must be received by the Purchasing and Contracting Branch at 10601 Bear Hollow Drive, Rancho Cordova, California 95670, by 2:00 PM on March 16, 2026, and a mandatory site walkthrough with the Contract Manager must occur at least seven business days prior to delivery. Bids will be publicly opened and read on March 16, 2026, at the same location, with award made to the lowest responsive bid from a qualified, responsible bidder.

The contract is available to certified small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises, which may receive a five percent preference adjustment on their bids. All bidders must submit a lump-sum price inclusive of all costs including labor, materials, equipment, permits, fees, insurance, and taxes, with a detailed cost breakdown separating golf cart and equipment rental services from an itemized insurance coverage fee that covers repairs or replacement of vehicles damaged due to the California Cadet Corps' fault. Required certifications and declarations must accompany the bid proposal, including the STD 204 Payee Data Record, GSPD-05-105 Bidder Declaration, STD 843 DVBE Declaration, Darfur Contracting Act Certification, and Contractor Certification Clauses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the solicitation does not specify a budget range or award value, indicating that pricing will be competitively determined based on responsive bids. The state retains the right to reject any or all bids, waive immaterial deviations, and cancel the agreement with thirty days' notice or immediately for cause.
