Tulare County is seeking sealed quotes for the procurement of one (1) new, unused 2024 or 2025 Chevrolet Traverse 2WD vehicle through a Request for Quote (RFQ) 25-027. The vehicle must meet specific requirements including 2WD configuration, 4-wheel ABS, Bluetooth, cloth seats, carpet with floor mats, standard AM/FM radio, tinted windows, cruise control, power windows and door locks, keyless entry, and three key fobs. Quotes must be submitted electronically through BidNetDirect by December 10, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with delivery to the Tulare County Motor Pool in Visalia, CA. The County reserves the right to award the quote based on vehicle availability and specification compliance, with quoted prices remaining valid for 120 days after award. Evaluation criteria include meeting technical specifications, pricing structure (which includes base unit price, documentation fee, electronic vehicle registration fee, and vehicle tire fee), and ability to deliver the specified vehicle.

The procurement allows potential participation by other governmental entities in the Central Valley Purchasing Group, including Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Tulare Counties and their political subdivisions. Vendors must complete and submit required documentation, including a signature page, specifications, pricing sheet, and debarment certification. The County is exempt from federal excise tax, and the awarded vendor will be responsible for vehicle registration documentation. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must comply with all submission requirements. The pricing structure includes the base unit price plus additional fees, with 7.75% California State Sales Tax to be added. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, vendors should prepare comprehensive quotes that meet the detailed vehicle specifications and comply with all submission requirements.
