440 - Purchase of Automotive Batteries

The City of Cleveland is seeking vendors to supply automotive‑style, wet‑charged, maintenance‑free batteries (both automotive and commercial variants) for its Division of Motor Vehicle Maintenance. Bidders must meet BCI, ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, and ISO 14001 quality standards, provide a detailed price list with discounts, core charges, and delivery lead times, and certify compliance with required disclosures. The contract will be awarded on a “delivered price” basis with all shipping costs embedded in unit prices; core recycling fees are to be quoted separately. AC Delco is the pre‑approved brand, and any alternate brand requires prior approval.
