Snowmobiles

The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) on August 20, 2018, for the purchase of 14 Ski-Doo snowmobiles and associated accessories to support DNR Law Enforcement operations. The procurement seeks nine 2018 or newer BRP Ski-Doo Renegade Backcountry 600 H.O. E-TEC snowmobiles equipped with electric start and reverse, standard 1.6" track in black, along with nine complete accessory packages including tank bags, cargo boxes, saddlebags, ice scratchers, windshields, mirrors, deflectors, hitches, heated visor kits, covers, and spare drive belts. Additionally, the RFQ requires five 2018 or newer BRP Ski-Doo Renegade Adrenaline 600R E-TEC snowmobiles with electric start, reverse, and black finish, accompanied by studs to be installed. Bidders must submit quotes with unit prices including FOB delivery to Cynergy Wireless Products Inc., C/O DNR Law Enforcement Division in Troy, Michigan, with the contractor required to provide four business days' advance notice to the DNR's Lighting Installer prior to delivery. The response deadline is August 31, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. EST, with a question deadline of August 23, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. EST, and answers posted by August 24, 2018, at 5:00 p.m. on SIGMA VSS. Evaluation is based on the bidder's demonstrated ability to perform contract activities, with award determined by the lowest total cost. All units must include a one-year manufacturer's written warranty, and vendors must be factory-authorized franchised Ski-Doo dealers capable of providing service locations near DNR deployment points.

The RFQ does not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting response eligibility based on organizational designation.

No incumbent contractor, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget allocation is referenced in the solicitation documents. Bidders must complete the RFQ document, enter pricing in the SIGMA VSS Line Item tab, and provide their SIGMA ID number (CV or VS number) along with authorized representative signature and contact information. Payment terms are net 45 days from DNR's acceptance of the snowmobiles, with bidders permitted to offer quick payment discounts.
