MASS TRANSIT BUS PARTS, PURCHASE AND DELIVERY

This solicitation seeks to establish a pre‑qualified vendor list for the purchase and delivery of mass‑transit bus parts for Palm Beach County. Once pre‑qualified, vendors will be invited on an as‑needed basis to submit itemized price quotes for parts covering multiple bus manufacturers (e.g., Gillig, New Flyer/MCI) and model years ranging from 2016 to 2026. The contract is a term agreement; the County will award individual orders to the lowest responsive, responsible vendor after applying any local preference adjustments. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system, provide all required certifications (business tax receipt, non‑discrimination, human‑trafficking affidavit, etc.), and comply with federal, state, and local safety and environmental regulations. The award process includes a pre‑qualification submission deadline of September 30, 2026, with questions due by September 16, 2026. • Pre‑qualification required; no single “bid” for the entire scope – vendors submit qualifications then price per order. • Parts cover suspension, brakes, steering, engine/transmission, body/interior, electrical for Gillig Low Floor and New Flyer/MCI buses. • Vendor must maintain all licenses, insurance, and certifications throughout the contract term. • Local Preference (5% for Palm Beach County or Glades businesses) may affect award ranking. • No specific contract value disclosed; term contract may span multiple years with periodic orders.
