Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Purchasing Department, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 020320-173/CC) for the purchase and delivery of a single custom-built 30 horsepower motor. The motor specifications are precise and non-negotiable: the unit must operate at 3600 RPM with a 324TS Frame, TEFC enclosure, rated for three-phase, 60 Hz, 460-volt service. Vendors must submit quotations by April 1, 2020, at 4:00 P.M. local time via fax or email. The successful vendor must deliver the motor within ten weeks of purchase order receipt, with delivery location access provided by the County. Pricing must be submitted as a single, fixed unit price with no escalation clauses or modifications to solicitation terms, and the price must remain firm for ninety days from the opening date to permit evaluation and award. Payment will be rendered only upon the County's satisfaction and acceptance of the delivered motor, as determined by inspection or testing to ensure full compliance with all specifications. The successful vendor must provide a one-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship from the date of delivery and acceptance.

Award will be made on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive, responsible vendor, subject to applicable disadvantaged enterprise provisions and local preference discounts. Palm Beach County offers a five-percent local preference discount to vendors with permanent places of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades, subject to verification through a valid Business Tax Receipt. Small, minority, and women-owned business enterprises (S/M/WBE) participating as prime contractors or subcontractors must be certified by Palm Beach County and properly documented on Schedules 1 and 2. All vendors and subcontractors must register in the County's Vendor Self-Service system before contract finalization. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or estimated award value, indicating the County will evaluate and award based solely on competitive pricing and vendor responsiveness to the detailed motor specifications.
