Description
The City of Mobile issued a sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid No. 5646) for the purchase of two new golf carts—one electric and one gasoline powered—to be used in its motor pool. Vendors must provide at least one unit of each type, meet detailed specifications (white finish, roof, windshield, LED lighting, USB ports, warranty, etc.), deliver F.O.B. to Mobile, AL within 20 days, and maintain a service center within roughly 50 mi. The bid must be sealed, signed, and accompanied by a 5 % bid security; bidders must also hold a City of Mobile business license, a Certificate of Authority (if out‑of‑state), and be enrolled in E‑Verify. Pricing is based on the lowest unit price quoted for each cart, with price validity for six months (extendable to 18 months). The solicitation emphasizes local vendor preference and includes socioeconomic performance requirements if the contract exceeds $50 k.
