Introduction
South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide and
install multifunction copier equipment under a lease agreement to support departmental operations
across our facilities. SSJID is committed to ensuring reliable, efficient, and cost-effective copying, printing,
scanning, finishing, and secure access management.
Project Overview
SSJID requires the lease, installation, and ongoing support of six (6) multi-function copier devices at three
(3) separate physical locations. Devices must meet the performance and feature requirements outlined
below. Vendors should propose comprehensive solutions, including equipment, maintenance, supplies
(excluding paper), training, and support.
The initial lease agreement will be for a three-year term, with the possibility of renewal or extension upon
satisfactory performance and mutual agreement.
As part of the evaluation process, SSJID expects vendors to make a demo unit available for viewing upon
request, either at the vendor’s warehouse, demonstration center, or at another customer’s location, prior
to final contract award.
Scope of Work
Vendors shall:
• Provide leased equipment that meets or exceeds the specifications for each location and
department.
• Deliver, install, and configure equipment at each site.
• Provide training for staff on equipment features.
• Provide full-service maintenance, repair, and replacement parts during the lease term.
• Supply consumables (toner, staples, etc., but excluding paper).
• Provide prompt technical support and guaranteed response times for service calls.
• Ensure devices support centralized user management, including the ability to remotely add,
remove, and manage users through integration with enterprise directory services (e.g., Active
Directory, Entra ID, or equivalent systems).
• Make a demo unit available for SSJID staff to view upon request at a vendor-controlled location or
customer site.
