A. SOLICITATION OBJECTIVES KCDA is seeking manufacturers, providers or dealers/distributors to provide current and emerging Maintenance Machines to its members. Total approximate value of this contract is between $300,000.00 and $400,000.00 annually. However KCDA does not guarantee any minimum or maximum value or number of orders. It is KCDA’s intent to establish an annual multi-state contract with the potential of up to three (3) one-year extensions if mutually agreed between KCDA and the awarded vendor(s). Bidders must be a manufacturer or a manufacturer’s sales representative authorized to provide KCDA Maintenance Machines in Washington, with the preferred ability to service surrounding member states (ex: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska). Contracts established by KCDA are available for use by all public schools, colleges, universities, cities, counties and other government agencies throughout the nation. Participation in KCDA is not required of any governmental agency; however, participation does provide the legally required competition for contracts for commonly purchased products and services, thereby saving the entity the time and expense of a required competitive process. As allowed by specific state statutes, members can issue purchase orders for any amount without the necessity to prepare their own IFB or gather necessary quotations.
