Transit Bus Brake Kits

The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) is seeking bids from suppliers who can supply and deliver on an as-needed basis bus brake components and kits. The contract will be for a term of 2 years, and the bidder must agree to a firm, fixed price. The scope of work includes supplying and delivering brake kits or components, with prices quoted including all items needed, labor, material, tools, equipment, and other costs necessary to fully complete the manufacture, delivery, and installation (if applicable) for the goods and/or services being procured. Some key requirements include: • Rotor Coach Brake kits must be supplied with only Meritor Genuine Brand. • Brake kits and items must be packaged to prevent damage during shipping and storage. • Each brake kit and item must have a unique part number, and SORTA must be able to confirm the catalog number from the manufacturer. • Suppliers may not substitute OEM parts with non-approved components. The bidder must also provide a warranty summary for each item bid, and the summary must include the duration of the warranty for each item and the terms of the warranty. Some of the benefits of this contract include the opportunity to work with a major transit authority, the potential for long-term partnership, and the chance to provide critical components for the maintenance of SORTA's bus fleet.

Overall, this contract presents a significant opportunity for suppliers who can meet the requirements and provide high-quality brake components and kits.
