It is preferred that both units purchased, be in stock or already or close to being in transfer to dealer. Vendor is not required to have all vehicles in stock to bid. Vehicles may be purchased from different dealerships where advantageous. Bids will be accepted from licensed dealers or converters only. The City agrees pay cost of transportation. Include such costs in total bid price. Or, if it is more cost advantageous, the City will arrange and pay for costs to pick up, depending on dealer’s proximity to City.

Where availability of vehicles and demand exist, the LACPC may facilitate the ordering of additional vehicles for LACPC members or affiliates wishing to place piggyback orders.

If more than one dealership can meet the specific requirements, the LACPC reserves the right to establish best and final pricing through a reverse auction process which would be scheduled online after the receipt and review of proposals.

Where a dealership can meet the exact specifications of the vehicles desired, the dealership may waive the confidentiality requirements of its proposal and allow the LACPC to access the results immediately. Where a dealership or the manufacturer has advertised a specific vehicle, at a specific price and has indicated the vehicle is in stock or in transit, then the LACPC may accept the advertisement as a proxy offering (confidentiality of the offering pre-waived). 

A dealership's proposal should include, at a minimum:  1) The window sticker of the specific vehicle being offered; 2) the base price or MSRP; a photo or depiction of the vehicle. 

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

An LACPC Administrative Fee of $200 will be charged on each vehicle purchased.  The fee is collected by the seller and is payable to the LACPC.  Please acknowledge this fee by clicking the appropriate TASK under the TASKS bar.
