Notice of Intent to Purchase- Freightliner Trucks

Clackamas County, through its Water Environment Services Division and Procurement Division, is seeking to purchase one 2024 Freightliner 114SD Truck with Owen/Vactor Upfit utilizing the State of Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Agreement #1640. The procurement will be executed with Premier Truck Group of Portland as the vendor, with a total estimated purchase price of $560,901.00. The notice was originally posted on February 23, 2023, with a response deadline of March 2, 2023. Vendors interested in providing comments regarding the procurement were instructed to submit their feedback to Procurement Analyst Jan O'Gara via email within seven calendar days of the notice's issuance. The truck appears to be a specialized municipal vehicle designed for water environment services, suggesting it will be used for infrastructure maintenance, utility operations, or related municipal services.

The procurement appears to be conducted through a cooperative purchasing agreement, which typically implies that standard small business or disadvantaged business enterprise set-aside requirements may not be strictly applicable. No specific restrictions on vendor participation were detailed in the provided documentation. The cooperative purchasing agreement (#1640) suggests this is a pre-negotiated contract with predetermined pricing and specifications, potentially simplifying the procurement process. The total purchase value of $560,901.00 indicates a significant capital investment in municipal fleet infrastructure. While no incumbent vendor information was explicitly stated, the selection of Premier Truck Group of Portland implies they are the preferred vendor for this specific truck configuration and municipal application. The procurement seems to be a direct purchase through an existing state-level cooperative agreement, which may provide cost efficiencies and streamlined acquisition processes for Clackamas County.
