08-07-26 MISC Bus Parts

This solicitation for miscellaneous bus parts under RFQ-PRC27-08072026 is a non-binding request for quotes with no guaranteed usage, requiring bidders to submit unit pricing that remains valid for 30 days and includes all costs except sales tax, core charges, and shipping—delivered FOB destination. Bidders must clearly identify any core charges in comments, and unit prices will supersede total prices in the event of discrepancies, with no allowance for price errors to be disallowed. The procurement is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration and is subject to a comprehensive set of federal compliance requirements, including adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act, Buy America provisions, whistleblower protections, civil rights, labor standards, and disadvantaged business enterprise participation with a mandated 1% DBE goal. Contractors must submit weekly payroll records via Optional Form WH-347, maintain detailed labor documentation, certify compliance with prevailing wage rates, and ensure all subcontractors flow down these obligations. Deliveries are to be made to Omnitrans’ receiving department in California, with lead times specified per line item and a standard 20-working-day fulfillment window unless otherwise stated; failure to meet delivery timelines may result in Purchase Order cancellation. Awards may be split among the lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on overall benefit to Omnitrans, and awarded vendors must confirm receipt of the Purchase Order within 24 hours. All terms are governed by Omnitrans’ Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and all contract-related records are subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act. Inspection and acceptance are performed on-site or administratively by the Federal Transit Administration or Department of Labor, with contractors liable for wage violations and required to indemnify Omnitrans against related claims. No formal contract value is specified due to the absence of pricing data, and no standard FAR clause numbering is used—instead, compliance is mandated through direct citations of U.S. Code and CFR regulations, including 29 CFR, 49 CFR, and 18 U.S.C. Security, information access, and conflict-of-interest provisions require certification that no Omnitrans personnel have financial interests in the contract and prohibit campaign contributions to its board members. All submissions must be made electronically through Omnitrans’ Online Bidding System by the August 11, 2026 deadline, and bids will be publicly accessible immediately after the closing time.
