GOLF CART

Westchester County is seeking to procure a Vista 6 Passenger Lithium Golf Cart (Model #08926) through a competitive Request for Quotation (RFQ-WC250712) for its Parks Department. The specified vehicle is an electric, battery-powered transportation unit with advanced features including two HyperCell lithium-ion batteries, a 5.0 kW continuous power brushless AC induction motor, and a welded steel frame. The golf cart has a six-passenger capacity with a total vehicle weight capacity of 1,520 lbs, standard ground speed of 16 mph (adjustable between 5-19 mph), and includes standard equipment such as LED headlights, a fold-down rear seat, back-up alarm, and horn. Key procurement dates include a posting date of September 18, 2025, with proposals due by September 30, 2025. Bidders must provide precise unit specifications, certified delivery dates, and be prepared to demonstrate the vehicle if requested. The county reserves the right to award the contract by individual item or lot and can reject any or all bids based on their evaluation criteria.

The procurement opportunity encourages participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE), with specific provisions to support diverse vendor participation. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates potential for multiple unit purchases and allows the county to order additional vehicles at the same price before the manufacturer's production build-out date. Delivery will be to the Westchester County Department of Public Works Automotive Division at 38 Brockway Place in White Plains, NY, with a requirement to contact Mr. Jay Haviland 48 hours prior to delivery. The selected vendor must provide a comprehensive warranty, including two years or 1,500 hours for the main vehicle and a five-year warranty for the lithium-ion battery. Vendors must comply with all federal, state, and county regulations, guarantee item quality, and understand that delivery failures may result in order cancellation or removal from the bidder's list. The vehicle comes with optional accessories such as a canopy, folding windshield, and various mirrors, allowing for customization to meet specific departmental needs.
