Purchase of Cintas Street Maintenance jackets

The City of Yonkers in Westchester County, New York, is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2025-4546) for the procurement of 30 high-visibility yellow parker jackets for the Street Maintenance division, requiring Cintas brand or equivalent jackets in seven different sizes ranging from M to 4XL. The jackets must meet specific technical specifications, including ANSI class 3 Type R certification, 100% polyester PU coating, a removable inner fleece, concealed attached hood, vented back with D-ring pass-through for fall protection, and embroidery of the City of Yonkers logo on the right chest pocket. The procurement allows for alternative jacket specifications, provided vendors submit detailed technical documentation with their quote. The original submission deadline was December 27, 2024, but has been extended through Addendum 2 to January 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with quotes to be submitted via email to Vanessa Brembs. The City reserves the right to award the contract based on price, availability, and lead time, with all quotes required to be firm and include shipping, with delivery to the City Maintenance - Street Cleaning at 1130 Nepperhan Ave, Yonkers, NY 10703.

The procurement opportunity encourages participation from New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises, though no strict set-aside requirements are explicitly stated. Vendors must provide a non-collusion certification and understand that the contract will be governed by New York State law. Payment terms are established at Net 30 Days, and the City is exempt from sales and use taxes. Pricing must be comprehensive, including all incidental costs such as freight, packaging, materials, labor, fees, overhead, and profit, with prices fixed and deemed F.O.B. Destination. While no specific budget range is disclosed, vendors are required to submit unit prices that include 46 logo charges across the jacket order. Interested suppliers must carefully review all addenda posted on the Empire State Purchasing Group System and acknowledge receipt of these documents, as failure to do so may result in the quote being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for award.
