The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) is soliciting a Request for Quote (RFQ) for procuring 125 picnic tables for Myrtle Beach State Park, located at 4401 S Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575. The specified picnic tables must be 6-inch tables with 1 5/8-inch tube, hot-dipped galvanized frames, and treated #1 pine rounded-edge top boards, with vendors allowed to propose equivalent materials if accompanied by appropriate documentation. The original solicitation deadline of November 3, 2023, at 3:30 PM EST was extended to November 6, 2023, at 3:30 PM EST due to technical issues with the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS). Questions from potential bidders were due by October 27, 2023, at 5:00 PM EST, and no pre-bid conference or site visit was required. Delivery specifications mandate that all tables must be delivered FOB destination within 90 days of purchase order receipt, in a single shipment with at least 72 hours advance notice, restricted to Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors registered with South Carolina's procurement system, with opportunities for vendors to claim South Carolina Resident Vendor Preference, South Carolina End-Product Preference, or United States End-Product Preference if meeting applicable requirements. Contractors are required to provide manufacturer warranties within 10 days of delivery completion and submit invoices upon delivery. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with payment processed via electronic funds transfer following invoice submission and goods acceptance. While no specific budget range was detailed, vendors must provide unit pricing for both picnic tables and associated assembly/shipping charges on a fixed-price basis. All costs associated with delivery, assembly, and services must be included in the quoted price, with no additional reimbursement provided. The award is scheduled for November 8, 2023, and all solicitation documents, amendments, and awards will be posted at www.procurement.sc.gov.
