Description
The County of Palm Beach is establishing a pre‑qualified vendor list for the purchase and delivery of parts for its mass‑transit bus fleet. Vendors who successfully pre‑qualify will be invited to submit itemized price quotes on an as‑needed basis for a variety of Gillig Low Floor and New Flyer/MCI bus models ranging from 2016 to 2027. The contract is a term agreement; the County may issue periodic “price‑request” orders and will award each order to the lowest responsive, responsible vendor after applying local‑preference adjustments. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system, maintain all required licenses, business tax receipts, and insurance, and comply with a broad set of legal, safety, and non‑discrimination requirements. No specific dollar value is disclosed; the contract will support ongoing parts procurement for the County’s bus fleet.
