REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ) 13223 – 2026 OR NEWER/UNUSED FORD MAVERICK XL AWD

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REQUEST FOR QUOTATION

RESPONSES: Your response is due through electronic upload to BuyNet on the specified close date and time, local San Diego time.

If Offeror is unable to submit via BuyNet for any reason, Offeror may submit by email or mail to the listed Contracting Officer, or by

personal delivery to the Purchasing and Contracting front desk. Please use these methods only if unable to submit through BuyNet. If

mailed or delivered, the above RFQ No. should be included on the front of the envelope.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to submit based on the most current RFQ, addenda thereto, responses to Questions, any other information

posted on BuyNet, and any diligence material made available by the County. Offerors are advised to regularly check BuyNet for

information. The County has no obligation to contact Offerors directly with any such RFQ-related information.

• In order to see all information related to this RFQ, to submit Questions, and to receive notifications of updates, Offerors must

select “Participate in RFx” for this solicitation in BuyNet.

Forms required to be submitted with Offeror’s Quotation are included in this RFQ or posted on the County’s web site at

https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/purchasing/purchasing-forms.html. Posted forms may be updated from time to time.

Unless otherwise specified, Offerors may submit the version of a form in place as of the date of RFQ issuance or any later version.

This is a request for information, and quotations furnished are not offers.

QUESTIONS: Please submit questions and requests for clarification related to definition or interpretation of this RFQ in writing to the

contracting officer before the Questions Due date/time listed in this RFQ. Those received after this date may not be answered at the

discretion of the County.

PRICING: The County may award a contract on the basis of initial quotations. Your price(s) should be the lowest possible for the RFQ

requirements. Omit Sales and Use Taxes unless otherwise specified.

The Estimated Quantities in the Pricing Schedule are provided solely for evaluation of quotations. They represent approximate

anticipated use based on historical consumption. If the County’s actual requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described

as “estimated” in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for price adjustment.

EVALUATION AND AWARD. Quotations are subject to acceptance at any time within 90 days after submission due date/time, unless

otherwise stipulated by the County. This RFQ is an informal negotiated procurement process. Lowest price may not always be the sole

criteria for award of an RFQ. The County reserves the right to waive a variation in specification if, in the opinion of the County, such

variation does not materially change the item or its performance within parameters acceptable to the County. The County reserves the

right to reject any or all quotations and to accept or reject any item(s) thereon, or waive any informality in the quotation. The County

reserves the right to perform a pre-award survey of the offeror to determine capability to perform, including but not limited to facilities,

financial responsibility, materials/supplies, and past performance. The determination of the County as to an Offeror’s prospective ability

to perform the contract shall be conclusive.

SAMPLES: Samples, at Offeror’s expense, may be required for evaluation by the County. Delivery of sample must be scheduled with

contracting officer and provided within required timeline. The County shall have the right to review sample and to determine if such

sample is acceptable. The County’s decision to award is contingent upon its acceptance of the products provided in the sample. During

the term of the award, the County must approve any substitutions from the initial sample in writing in advance of substitution. In no

event shall the supplier be permitted to increase prices on the basis of substituted item(s).

Sample, if not destroyed by tests, will, upon request, be returned at Offeror’s expense. Offeror must advise contracting officer at time

of sending sample that they must be returned, provide return address and Federal Express account number.

BRAND NAME OR EQUAL: If items called for in this Request for Quotation have been identified in the schedule by a "brand name

or equal" description, such identification is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and is to indicate the quality and characteristics

of products (including products of brand name manufacturer s other than the one described by the brand name) to be considered for

award if such products are determined by the County to meet fully the salient characteristic requirements listed in the request.

Unless the offeror clearly indicates in the quotation that an "or equal" product is being offered, quotation shall be considered as offering

the brand name product specified.

If the offeror proposes to furnish an "equal” product, the brand name, if any, of the product to be furnished shall be inserted in the space

provided in the request for quotation, or such product shall be clearly identified in the quotation. The evaluation of the quotation and

the determination as to equality of the product offered shall be the responsibility of the County and will be based upon the information

furnished by the offeror, or identified in the quotation as well as other information reasonably available to the purchasing activity.

REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ) 13223 – 2026 OR NEWER/UNUSED FORD MAVERICK XL AWD

Caution to offerors: the purchasing activity is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not identified in the

quotation and reasonably available to the purchasing activity. Accordingly, to insure that sufficient information is available, the offeror

must furnish, as part of the quotation, all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for

the purchasing activity to (i) determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristic requirements of the request for

quotation, and (ii) establish exactly what the offeror proposes to furnish and what the County is binding itself to purchase by making an

award. The information furnished may include specific references to information previously furnished or to information otherwise

available to the purchasing activity.

If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to make it conform to the requirements of the Request for Quotation, he shall (i) include

in the quotation a clear description of such modifications and (ii) clearly mark any description to show the proposed modifications.

DUTY TO INQUIRE: Should the Offeror find discrepancies in or omissions from the RFQ, plans, specifications or other documents,

or should the Offeror be in doubt as to their meaning, the Offeror must at once notify the Buyer, in writing. If the point in question is

not clearly and fully set forth, a written addendum will be issued and emailed to Offerors.

CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: If confidential/proprietary is contained within the submission:

1) It must be submitted in a separate file or document marked as EXHIBIT–CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY;

2) Responses to solicitation requirements that include the confidential/proprietary information, shall refer to the response

contained within the EXHIBIT–CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY (for example: If submittal requirement #1 requires staff

Social Security Numbers, the response to requirement #1 shall reflect “see response #1 contained within Exhibit-

Confidential/Proprietary”); and

3) It must include a signed Nondisclosure Indemnification Agreement (PC620).

NOTE: As a Public Agency, the County of San Diego must adhere to the California Public Records Act, therefore pricing cannot be

considered confidential/proprietary.

TERMS OF RESULTING CONTRACTS: Any purchase order(s) issued as a result of an RFQ will contain the County's standard

Purchase Order (PO) terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions referenced in this RFQ. The County’s PO Terms and

Conditions are available at:

Schedule, and any other exhibits will be added based upon the successful Offeror’s response and successful contract finalization

negotiations.

Businesses may be eligible for more advantageous payment terms including NET15, in accordance with Board Policy B-53 Small-Local

Business Policy (SLBP).

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING: The County's obligation for payment of any contract beyond the current fiscal year end is contingent

upon the availability of funding from which payment can be made. No legal liability on the part of the County shall arise for payment

beyond June 30 of the calendar year unless funds are made available for such performance.

CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE SECTION 18662: In compliance with California Revenue and Taxation code

section 18662, if you are a non resident of California (out-of-state invoices) who receives California source income, the County will pay

California Use Tax directly to the State of California per permit no. SR FH 25-632384. Fifteen (15) business days prior to the first

payment, new suppliers or suppliers with expired forms or forms with incorrect information, must submit new forms to the County

(forms are available from the Franchise Tax Board website listed below).

Under certain circumstances you may be eligible for reduced or waived nonresident withholding. If you have already received a waiver

or a reduced withholding response from the State of California and the response is still valid, submit the response to the County in lieu

of the forms. Failure to submit the required forms will result in withholding of payments. Refer to the Franchise Tax Board websites

(listed below) for tax forms and information on nonresident withholding, including waivers or reductions. The County will not give you

any tax advice. It is recommended you speak with your tax adviser and/or the State of California for guidance.
