In 15 days, the Electric Transport Service (STE) of Mexico City will carry out an international tender for the purchase of 102 new articulated trolleybuses, which will be used on the Chalco-Santa Marta Acatitla route and will imply an investment of between 1,411.8 and 1,600.0 million pesos. The decision of the contest is scheduled for December 12 and that same day it is intended to sign the contract.
To date there are four interested companies: Hidromex, LDR Solutions, Sinergman and Yutong México.
The latter (based in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou) has sold Mexico City during the current administration 50 trolleybuses with the same characteristics, in addition to simple units and buses for the RTP system. The 18-meter-long trolleybuses, as well as the associated equipment, must be delivered from August 1, 2023 to September 29, 2023, which implies the average production of a complete vehicle every third day. Its transfer, disembarkation in the port of Manzanillo and temporary confinement, will be under the responsibility and cost of the awarded bidder.
Regarding the origin of the resources, the agency informed in the call that it has budgetary and multi-year availability dated November 22, 2022, authorized by the Financial Resources Management of the STE. Therefore, the successful bidder will be granted an advance of 50% of the total amount of the assigned contract, under the condition of fixed prices. In the call bases it was also made clear that the winner “will assume full responsibility in the event that when supplying the goods, laws, rules and regulations related to patents are infringed, and everything related to industrial or intellectual property rights.”
The STE has already made a change
In the minutes of the clarification meeting of the tender, dated this Thursday, December 1, where the participants initially asked 71 questions, a proposal from Hidromex was written: In order not to condition or limit free participation, since articulated trolleybuses has only sold one supplier in Mexico, which would imply directing the contracting procedure, a situation that is prohibited by article 40 of the Regulations of the Law on Acquisitions, Leases and Services of the Public Sector… we allow ourselves to ask you… be considered in addition to contracts of articulated trolleybuses, simple trolleybus contracts, articulated buses, etc.
The proposal was accepted because the social witness (Mexican Institute of Technical Audit) had already observed this point. Due to the fact that it was requested to present at least two contracts not older than five years, now there was the possibility of presenting a contract related to trolleybus-type units and one for public transport (bus) articulated in the same terms of the object and scope required. .
The acquisition of the trolleybuses will be awarded in a single item to the bidder who meets the best conditions.
