The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners Purchasing Department issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the purchase and delivery of round corner schedule holders and rotating kiosk frames for the Palm Beach County Palm Tran Department. The procurement encompasses three specific items: 80 round corner schedule holders (Webb & Associates Model RCH-14 or equal), 20 three-sided rotating kiosk frames (Webb & Associates Model K14-3S or equal), and 10 four-sided rotating kiosk frames (Webb & Associates Model K14-4S or equal). All items must be constructed of aluminum with stainless steel hardware, include polycarbonate windows for schedule holders, feature an exterior-grade polyurethane powdercoat finish in teal with two-part epoxy undercoat, and be capable of displaying 8" x 14" schedule holders. Quotations were due by 4:00 p.m. Palm Beach County local time on June 27, 2016, with responses accepted via fax or email to buyer Marva Brown. Delivery must be made within thirty calendar days after receipt of the term contract delivery order to Palm Tran's facility at 3201 Electronics Way, West Palm Beach, Florida. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-or-none, total offer basis, with pricing remaining firm for ninety days from the opening date, and bidders must submit manufacturer cut sheets and descriptive literature demonstrating compliance with specifications unless offering the specified manufacturer and model numbers.

The contract shall be issued for a twelve-month term or until the estimated amount is expended, with an option to renew for four additional twelve-month periods subject to mutual written agreement and appropriation of funds. The solicitation is funded in part by a contract between Palm Beach County and the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration and is subject to all applicable federal regulations, including Buy America provisions, civil rights requirements, and FTA Circular 4220.1F procurement guidelines. The local preference, Glades local preference, and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) ordinances do not apply to this solicitation, meaning there are no set-aside designations restricting bidder eligibility. All vendors must comply with non-discrimination policies consistent with Palm Beach County Resolution R-2014-1421 and provide appropriate certifications regarding federal requirements such as restrictions on lobbying and drug and alcohol testing program compliance where applicable. The RFQ does not list incumbent vendors, current contractors, or an explicit budget range; however, vendors should note that the F.O.B. point is destination, with bidders retaining title and assuming all transportation charges, responsibility, liability, and risk in transit.
