Honda Civic for Driver's Education Program

Fayette County Public Schools is requesting quotes for one new Honda Civic LX for its driver's education program serving five high schools and the LaFayette Educational Center, with responses due September 22, 2023.

The procurement is for a single vehicle to replace equipment that has reached the end of serviceable life. Delivery is expected ARO (as required by order) with freight FOB destination and freight prepaid. The contract term runs from award issuance through December 31, 2024, with automatic annual renewal at the same pricing structure unless a cost escalation of no more than 10% is invoked with 30 days' written notice and supporting documentation; the district reserves the right to reject any escalation, potentially triggering contract termination. The RFQ contemplates a possible purchase of an additional vehicle during the fiscal year pending budgetary availability, though only one vehicle is specified for immediate procurement.

Evaluation will not be based on lowest price alone. The district will consider price, warranty, service guarantees, past performance, total cost of ownership, business capabilities, delivery schedules, and manufacturer quality standards. Quoted prices must remain firm through December 31st of the issuing year.

Respondents must submit a Respondent Information Form, Quote Response Form, and window sticker or vehicle specification sheet, along with compliance with all general and special terms and conditions. Written questions are due by 9:00 a.m. on September 15, 2023. Cooperative purchasing is permitted for other Fayette County government entities and local municipalities at the same quoted prices. The contract may be canceled without fault or obligation if the Board of Education fails to appropriate funding in any fiscal year, with 30 days' prior written notice required. Final approval from the Superintendent or Board of Education may be required based on dollar value, in accordance with district policy.
