Description

The County of El Dorado is soliciting one complete, NDAA‑compliant drone system (Freefly Astro Max Mapping Essentials Aircraft or equivalent) with all required accessories, payloads, batteries, chargers, travel cases, a FLUX 01 Lidar scanner, and spare parts. Vendors must submit a single, all‑inclusive price (freight prepaid, FOB destination) and demonstrate that they are an authorized reseller or the manufacturer. The procurement is strictly “all‑items‑quoted” – any missing line‑item results in a non‑responsive bid. The award will be based on lowest responsive, responsible bid, with a 5 % local‑vendor preference credit applied where applicable. The contract includes warranty, a 30‑day return window, and standard net‑45 payment terms. • One (1) complete drone system with pilot controller, LR1 mapping payload, batteries, chargers, travel cases, spare parts, and a FLUX 01 lidar scanner. • Must be NDAA/“Blue” compliant and shipped freight‑prepaid to the County’s address in Placerville, CA. • All‑inclusive price required; no partial or “alternatives‑only” submissions accepted. • Evaluation: lowest responsible bid; local vendor credit of 5 % for El Dorado‑based firms.

Budget estimate

$80,000 – $150,000

No contract value is disclosed, but a high‑end, NDAA‑compliant drone system with a lidar scanner typically ranges from $80,000 to $150,000 depending on configuration, accessories, and warranty terms. Assuming the County purchases a single turnkey solution, the expected budget to the vendor would likely fall within this bracket.
