Description
Palm Beach County is establishing a pre‑qualified vendor list for the purchase and delivery of mass‑transit bus parts under a term contract. Once pre‑qualified, vendors will be invited to submit itemized price quotes for specific parts as needs arise. The contract will cover parts for Gillig Low Floor, New Flyer, and MCI buses ranging from 2016‑2027 model years, including suspension, brakes, steering, engine/transmission, body/interior, and electrical components. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system, provide all required certifications (business tax receipt, local preference certification, human‑trafficking affidavit, DEI‑material prohibition), and comply with federal, state, and local safety standards (ANSI, NFPA). The solicitation emphasizes non‑discrimination, local preference (5% for Palm Beach County/Glades businesses), and strict record‑keeping and public‑records compliance. Submissions are due September 30, 2026; questions must be submitted by September 16, 2026.
