Q&A Deadline 03/09/2023 2:00 PM (PST). Scope of Services
North County Transit District (NCTD) is expanding its Fleet watch(R) Fluid Management System to monitor locomotives and fuel dispensing equipment. The Fleetwatch(R) Fluid Management System is an automated system designed to control access and provide accountability for fluids dispensed and is being provided by S&A Systems, Inc. ("S&A") under a separate agreement. NCTD requires a Contractor to complete the electrical service for this system, including installation of S&A equipment, conduits, junction boxes, stands and wires. Termination of wires, connection of data cables, and startup & testing of the Fluid Management System will be done by others. As a recipient of federal funding, NCTD has established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program goals and is required to report on DBE participation each year so that its attainment efforts may
be evaluated. NCTD's overall agency wide goal for Federal Fiscal Year 2023-2026 is 11.3%. The term DBE means a for-profit small business concern as defined in 49 CFR 26.5. Even if no federal funding will be
used on the Agreement awarded pursuant to this solicitation and no DBE goal will be set, the selected Bidder will still be required to document use of SBs and DBEs in the performance of the Work. The Agreement awarded as a result of this solicitation will have federal funding. Whether or not there is federal funding, DBE contractors are highly encouraged to participate as a prime contractor or
subcontractor on NCTD procurements. The DBE goal for this procurement is set at 0%. If Bidder or any of its subcontractors, suppliers, or trucking companies are DBE-certified, Bidder is required to comply with the
Notice Regarding Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Requirements and Instructions and complete a DBE Commitment Form and include it with its bid. In addition, a DBE letter of commitment is required from
any DBE subcontractors confirming the DBE has agreed to participate and perform the work for which it has been listed in the List of Subcontractors. Additional DBE requirements applicable to the Agreement are
set forth in detail in other sections of the Agreement.
