This Request for Quotations (RFQ) is to support the U.S. Department of
Energy's electric vehicle Federal Loaner Program. The Federal Loaner
Program is making electric vehicles available on a temporary, loaner
basis to Federal fleet users and decision-makers. By introducing
electric vehicles on a temporary basis into Federal vehicle fleets, the
Federal Loaner Program is encouraging Federal fleets to lease or
purchase electric vehicles for inclusion into their fleets where they
can be driven daily as fleet vehicles. This RFQ is limited in scope to
the placement of electric vehicles into Federal fleets on a temporary,
loaner basis. This RFQ does not include the permanent, long-term
placement of vehicles in Federal fleets. The funding provided under
this Loaner Program is for the leasing or purchase of five electric
vehicles to be used as loaner vehicles in each of five geographical
areas. The Offerors will focus on one of five geographical areas. The
selection of these areas is based on past activities insupport of
introducing electric vehicles, including designation as a DOE "Clean
Cities" area, and having supported the EV Ready Market Launch
activities. The five areas are: Greater Phoenix, Arizona, Greater Los
Angeles/Southern California, Greater Atlanta, Georgia, Greater
Washington, D.C./Richmond, Virginia/Northern Virginia Greater Boston,
Massachusetts. These geographical areas have been selected due to their
higher concentrations of Federal vehicles and the anticipation that
electric vehicle interest within Federal fleets in the above areas will
be high. The RFQ respondents should have in place within their
geographical areas existing vehicle loaner programs. Prior or current
operation of a loaner program to local groups such as municipal or
state governments is a requirement of this RFQ. The specific Program
goals include: Introducing Federal fleet users and decision makers to
electric vehicles; Developing the Federal fleet users'understanding of
electric vehicle costs, performance, and driveability; Education of
potential Federal electric vehicle users and decision makers; Support
the increased use of electric vehicles in Federal Fleet applications.
