Golf Carts 2 Year Seasonal Rental for NH State Parks

The New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, is seeking a two-year seasonal golf cart rental contract for various state park locations through Request for Bids (RFB) OPS-2504. The procurement requires a vendor to provide a total of 19 golf carts, specifically 8 gasoline-powered and 11 electric-powered units, to be deployed across 17 different state park sites. Eligible golf carts must be from a single manufacturer (Yamaha, Club Car, or E-Z-GO), with gasoline models from 2015 or newer and electric models from 2018 or newer. The rental seasons will run from May 1 through October 31 in both 2025 and 2026, with all vehicles required to be delivered by June 1, 2025. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on February 20, 2025, and must be submitted to Edward Mussey, Public Works Project Manager. Vendor responsibilities include providing comprehensive maintenance, repairs, insurance, delivery, and pickup services, with a requirement to respond to repair requests within 48 hours and replace any inoperable cart within 72 hours.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. A $30,000 allowance is included for potential modifications and additions to the cart fleet, with the state reserving the right to adjust quantities and delivery locations without changing individual cart pricing. The total contract value will be determined by the lump sum bid submitted by the winning vendor. The state will evaluate proposals based on the vendor's ability to meet all specified requirements, including cart condition, manufacturer specifications, delivery timeline, and comprehensive service capabilities. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract includes strict operational parameters such as providing training and operational instructions to park staff upon delivery and maintaining vehicles in good working and cosmetic condition throughout the rental period.
