BID # 5990
Auto Parts 2006
BID OPENING: August 18, 2006, 2:30pm, (our clock)
WE HEREBY ENTER OUR BID FOR THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS REQUIREMENTS FOR Auto
Parts, PER THE BID INVITATION AND ANY REFERENCED SPECIFICATIONS.
The City of Fort Collins is soliciting bids for approximately $100,000 per year in parts and supplies
purchases for a one year period, commencing with notification of award and ending one calendar
year from that date.
Parts and supplies will be purchased for the City's 1800 unit fleet that encompasses domestic and

variety of lawn and garden equipment.
SPECIFICATIONS
QUALITY
Quality of the products bid will be carefully reviewed. PRICES SHOWN ON THE BID FORM MUST
BE FOR THE TOP-OF-THE-LINE PRODUCTS ONLY, EQUAL TO OR SURPASSING THE
QUALITY OF THE BRAND USED IN THE BID FORM. The City of Fort Collins reserves the right to
examine and test for quality, any parts offered for bid. During the bid award period, substitutions
will not be accepted without prior approval.
SERVICE
The awarded vendor must provide a representative from their company to make weekly calls to the
City Parts Department for stock orders, to pick up returns, to work with the Parts Manager on any
unpaid invoices, and to take care of any other problems that may arise. DELIVERY SERVICE
MUST BE PROVIDED ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS. HOURLY OR ONE TIME DAILY DELIVERIES
AND DELIVERIES VIA U.P.S. OR OTHER FREIGHT CARRIERS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

PRICES
All prices provided on the bid form must be accompanied by complete line price sheets.
These line sheets should show the City buying price for all items in relevant lines. The prices may
be given as a percentage of any list other than retail; ie., dealer, distributor, jobber, etc. Any
subsequent price changes or approved parts substitutions must be accompanied by the issuance of
new price lists that show the same information. Where the publishing of line sheets is proceeded
by official memoranda, a copy of these will be accepted as justification. Regardless of the direction
of the price fluctuations, the awarded vendor must provide the City of Fort Collins Parts Department
with all revisions, notifications of revisions, and promotional discount announcements. ANY
INVOICE PRICED HIGHER THAN THE BID PRICE WILL BE REPRICED FROM OUR PRICE
LISTS AND PAID ACCORDINGLY. Sales prices cannot be bid unless those prices are given for
complete bid period. Warranty information should be included in each parts section on the price
sheet.
METHOD OF AWARD
This bid will NOT be awarded to one vendor unless that vendor has the lowest prices on all lines.
The bid will be awarded separately by product line to the vendor submitting the lowest price for that
line, where availability, quality, warranty and service are equal. Filters will be awarded to a vendor
who can supply a complete range of oil, air, and hydraulic filters.
The award will be for a period of one (1) year, unless sooner terminated as herein provided. In
addition, at the option of the City, the agreement may be extended for additional one year periods,
not to exceed four (4) additional one year periods. Pricing changes shall be negotiated by and
agreed to by both parties.
The parts department will request parts from the awarded vendor first, and depending upon
urgency, will contact the next lowest bidders, until parts are obtained. If the awarded vendor is
consistently out of stock to the detriment of the Fleet Services operation, the award may be
terminated and awarded to the next lowest bidder.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
The City of Fort Collins reserves the right to withdraw an award from a vendor based on subsequent
performance or for misrepresentation of the claims stated in his/her bid regarding prices, service,
warranty, availability or quality after written notification of any infractions is given and corrective
actions are not satisfactory.
The first column of the attached pricing table shows major brand part numbers and application
information. Bidders are to identify their corresponding part number, brand, price, and in-stock
status in the remaining columns. "In-stock" means items are located in Fort Collins and available
for delivery within one hour. Space for warranty coverage is provided after each section, along with
space for bidders to enter any other relevant information.
Labor claims related to parts warranties must be paid at the City of Fort Collins Fleet Services labor
rates using industry standard flat rate schedules.
This pricing table is a means of evaluation only. The City of Fort Collins reserves the right to bid
any items separately and to purchase parts on special promotions, show specials, etc.
