OCA PUCHH | Extended Range Chevy Silverado EV

The City and County of San Francisco Office of Contract Administration, on behalf of the Public Utilities Commission, is soliciting bids for the procurement of Extended Range Chevrolet Silverado EV 1/2-ton crew cab electric pickup trucks, including required auxiliary equipment. The solicitation, issued as Invitation for Bids (IFB) number SFGOV-0000010358, was originally posted on January 13, 2025, with a bid due date extended to January 29, 2025. This procurement requires suppliers to provide fully configured, operational electric pickups compliant with stringent federal, state, and local regulations, including FMVSS standards, California motor vehicle and safety codes, CALOSHA, EPA regulations, and additional applicable industry standards. The vehicles must be capable of heavy-duty on- and off-road performance and delivered ready for immediate operation, complete with all fluids and warranty support localized to Northern California. Bidders are responsible for acknowledging all solicitation addenda issued prior to bid submission, including two bid addenda that replaced original documents and extended deadlines. Evaluation of bids is based primarily on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, requiring bidders to meet minimum qualifications on a pass/fail basis before price evaluation. Price considerations incorporate possible discounts for Local Business Enterprise (LBE) participation, prompt payment terms, and generating local tax revenue. While additional evaluation factors exist as per special bid conditions, those specifics are not fully disclosed. The procurement does not detail formal federal contract clauses or assign specialized contract types; however, standard conditions and administrative instructions are provided. Deliveries must be FOB destination to the City’s Fleet Management Central Shops in San Francisco, accompanied by packing slips detailing manufacturer information and purchase order identifiers. Inspection and acceptance occur first at the contractor’s facility, including a factory pre-delivery inspection and road testing, with final acceptance at City premises, where the City retains sole discretion over compliance. Contract administration details are limited, with payment made within 30 calendar days via certification by the City Controller, and Mark Farley serving as the primary solicitation contact. The contract does not specify invoicing platforms or designated technical representatives, and no explicit contract value or price schedule has been provided in the available documentation.
