Paint supplies are to be delivered on an as-needed basis to two Orange County Transportation Authority facilities: Garden Grove (11790 Cardinal Circle, Garden Grove, CA 92843) and Santa Ana (4301 W.

The total budget is $50,000 for a two-year initial term, with an optional one-year renewal term (option-year pricing subject to producer price index escalation). Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm on a lump-sum basis. Evaluation is based solely on cost (100% weight).
