Palm Beach County, Florida issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the one-time purchase and delivery of waverunners and watercraft trailers. The procurement sought two primary deliverables: watercraft trailers meeting or exceeding Triton Model Elite WCII specifications (maximum 190 inches length, 102 inches width, 2,330 pounds minimum capacity) and waverunners meeting or exceeding Yamaha Model FX Cruiser SVHO specifications (red and black, one to three person capacity, maximum 150 inches length, minimum 1,812 cc engine displacement). All equipment must be new, of current manufacture (2022 model year or newer), and include factory warranties. The RFQ specified delivery to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue at 2601 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411, with delivery timelines to be specified by the quoter in days after order receipt. Submissions were due by September 29, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. local time to the Palm Beach County Purchasing Department at 50 South Military Trail, Suite 110, West Palm Beach, Florida 33415. Award was contingent on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible quoter, with unit pricing required to remain firm for ninety days from the opening date and F.O.B. point set at destination with all transportation and handling charges included in unit pricing.

Small, minority, and women-owned business enterprises (S/M/WBE) certified with Palm Beach County at the time of quote submission may receive consideration for award. Local preference provisions allow a five percent reduction in quoted prices for responsive Palm Beach County businesses that meet responsiveness criteria. The procurement included an optional extended warranty provision for a minimum of four years on the waverunners, which must be quoted separately but is not considered in the evaluation for award determination. Palm Beach County, as a governmental entity, is exempt from federal and state taxes and will issue individual purchase orders for ordering. The County reserves the right to purchase additional items within twelve months of award at the same pricing and terms offered in the response.
