Sacramento County is seeking to procure six (6) 19,500-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) standard cab mechanics service trucks with multi-drive air/hydraulic systems for facility repair and maintenance operations. The Request for Bid (RFB #2022-RFB-0120) was released on November 7, 2022, with a response submission deadline of December 12, 2022, at 5:00 pm through the Sacramento County Electronic Bidding website. The procurement allows for potential alternative zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell, or electric vehicle options, provided they meet equivalent performance standards to conventional fuel vehicles. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a detailed Bidders Basic Data Sheet, additional bidder information, and precise technical specifications that comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions standards. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on technical compliance, environmental considerations, warranty provisions, service support, and overall vehicle performance capabilities. The county plans to award the contract on December 19, 2022, with potential for additional purchases under the same terms for up to two one-year extensions.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to provide certificates of insurance, comply with family support order certifications, and submit a non-collusion affidavit. The pricing appendix indicates a comprehensive pricing structure with a 7.75% Sacramento County sales tax, including options for base vehicle configurations and additional features such as shop repair manuals, parts manual sets, auxiliary power units, extended cab configurations, diesel engines, four-wheel drive, specialized compartment designs, welding equipment, and crane upgrades. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement allows for potential participation by other California public agencies. Vendors must demonstrate capability to provide comprehensive product support, including potential operator and mechanic training (up to 16 hours), detailed service manuals, and local service agency availability. The contract appears to have significant flexibility, with the county reserving the right to make additional purchases and modify specifications as needed.
