RFQ 2024 Mobile Outreach Vehicle

The Lane Council of Governments (LCOG), specifically through its Senior & Disability Services (S&DS) division, is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to procure a single mobile outreach vehicle to improve social service accessibility in Lane County, Oregon. The procurement seeks qualified entities with at least three years of experience delivering customized specialty vehicles with mobile workspaces. The mobile outreach vehicle is intended to reduce barriers to accessing social services in rural locations and economically disadvantaged areas throughout the county. Proposals are due by April 12, 2024, with an anticipated final decision by the Senior Services Advisory Council and LCOG Board of Directors by June 27, 2024. Evaluation criteria will include the proposer's background and experience, the proposed vehicle specifications, pricing, and references. The successful proposer must deliver the vehicle within 365 days or a mutually agreed upon timeline. Proposals will be comprehensively reviewed, with LCOG reserving the right to award the contract without further discussion or negotiate with the selected proposer.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations mentioned in the documentation. The total available funding for this RFQ is not to exceed $250,000, which represents the budget range for the mobile outreach vehicle procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided materials. The RFQ does not specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. LCOG will conduct oral interviews with proposers as part of the selection process and maintains flexibility in the final contract award. The procurement is open to entities that can demonstrate the technical capability to provide a customized mobile outreach vehicle meeting the specified requirements, with a focus on organizations that can effectively support the mission of expanding social service accessibility for seniors and individuals with disabilities in Lane County.
