Augusta, Ga. — Feb. 24, 2015 — Club Car has been awarded U.S. Communities’ contract for utility, transportation, and golf vehicles and related accessories, equipment, parts, and services. The Club Car contract was awarded after the lead public agency, the City of Kansas City, Mo., completed a competitive solicitation and thorough evaluation process for vehicles. This is the first contract U.S. Communities has awarded in this category. It is valid for three years, with two one-year renewal options.
“The City is excited to be the lead public agency for U.S. Communities on this national contract with Club Car. It is a valuable solution for any public entity or educational institution to utilize when purchasing utility and golf vehicles,” said Renee Medlin, procurement manager for the City of Kansas City, M0.
U.S. Communities is a government purchasing alliance that simplifies purchasing and reduces the costs of goods and services to its members by aggregating its purchasing power.
“This contract provides the best overall government pricing and lets participants of U.S. Communities eliminate time-consuming RFPs, accelerate the procurement process, and quickly access our fleet-planning expertise and industry-leading vehicles,” said Ryan McClellan, Club Car’s manager of strategic and government accounts.
The contract covers Club Car’s portfolio of small four-wheel electric, gas and diesel vehicles, including:
• Carryall utility vehicles. (4x2s and automatic 4x4s and two- and four-passenger models.)
