Notice of Intent Ford F150 Electric Trucks

The City of Eugene intends to procure six electric Ford F-150 trucks through the State of Oregon's Vehicle Price Agreement 1660, utilizing a permissive cooperative procurement process authorized by City of Eugene Administrative Rule 44-14-08 F, ORS 279A.215, and OAR 137-046-0430. This procurement method leverages a competitive request for bids process already conducted by the State of Oregon, which established a pre-negotiated contract for vehicle acquisitions. The specific procurement involves six electric Ford F-150 trucks, representing a targeted municipal fleet electrification effort. The Notice of Intent was posted on January 24, 2022, with vendor comments due by 4:00 PM on January 31, 2022. Potential vendors were instructed to submit any comments via email to the City of Eugene's Purchasing Analyst. The procurement is specifically occurring within Lane County, Oregon, and follows state procurement regulations that allow cooperative purchasing arrangements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The estimated total procurement value is $252,457.74, which reflects the anticipated cost for the six electric Ford F-150 trucks. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no specified integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement is being conducted through a pre-established state vehicle price agreement, which suggests that standard competitive bidding processes have already been completed. The cooperative procurement approach enables the City of Eugene to access pre-negotiated pricing and contract terms without conducting an additional standalone bidding process. The procurement appears to be open to vendors who can supply the specified electric Ford F-150 trucks and meet the state's existing contract requirements.
