iii. Background Information The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) is seeking a qualified Offeror(s) to provide two (2) Class 7 Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), a day cab tractor trailer and a refrigerated van body with a lift gate. Offerors have the option to submit proposals for both vehicles or for each vehicle individually. This procurement supports the State of Colorado’s “Greening Government” initiatives and the CDOC’s operational requirement for secure, reliable food distribution logistics between Correctional Facilities. The CDOC’s recent EPA Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant award directly supports this solicitation.

vi. Technical Specifications:

a. Power Source: All-electric, variable speed scroll compressor powered via high-voltage DC.

b. Cooling Capacity: Comparable to the diesel Supra S10 (approximately 37,000 to 14,000 BTU/hr at 35° F to -20° F setpoint).

c. Heating Capacity: This is critical for Colorado winters. The vehicle must feature electric resistance heating elements. Unlike diesel units that use hot gas bypass or engine coolant, the e11 uses electric strips.

· Energy Consumption Analysis: Data indicates that in standby/heating mode, electric units can draw significant power. While cooling might draw ~7 kW during pull-down and 2 kW holding, electric heating can draw continuous loads of 3-5 kW depending on the delta between ambient air (-10°F) and the cargo setpoint (35°Ffor produce).

d. Efficiency: A variable speed compressor eliminates the start/stop cycles of diesel units, providing tighter temperature control and reduced average energy consumption.

e. Noise Emissions: Silent operation is preferred as it is a significant benefit for security protocols, allowing auditory monitoring of the vehicle environment during loading/unloading at secure facilities.

vii. Thermally Efficient Body Construction To minimize the “parasitic load” of the eTRU and maximize vehicle range, the refrigerated body must be constructed to a higher thermal standard than typical commercial units. The “Morgan E-Vantage” or an equivalent high-efficiency body is specified.

a. Feature Specification Thermal Reasoning

· Dimensions 26’ length x 102” Width, Standard logistics size pallet optimization.

· Insulation (Nose/Roof) 4.0 inches (100mm) polyurethane, increased thickness (standard is 3”) in the roof prevents solar gain in summer and radiant heat in winter.

· Insulation (Sidewalls) 3.0 inches (75mm) polyurethane, balances internal width capacity with thermal resistance.

· Floor Construction extruded aluminum duct floor, fully welded seams are mandatory to prevent moisture ingress into the floor insulation. Wet insulation loses up to 80% of its R-value.

· Rear Door Insulated Roll-up with Brush Seals while swing doors offer Higher R-values, CDOC docks require roll-up doors. High-grade side and top brush seals are required to mitigate air infiltration.

· Solar Augmentation roof-mounted solar (optional). A solar array feeding the 12V system or liftgate battery reduces the low-voltage DC-DC converter load on the main traction battery.

viii. Material Handling and Ancillary Systems The operational profile involves heavy palletized loads delivered to facilities with varying dock conditions. Durability and corrosion resistance are paramount.

a. Liftgate: Tuck-under style, aluminum platform, minimum 3,500 lb capacity.

· 102” wide.

· 24” Rubber installed on the rear of the vehicle to protect the vehicle while serving as dock bumpers.

· Power Source, Special Lift Gate: 200 Amp Maximum, Power Cable to end of frame, optional power (PDM) for power source, latched switch on instrument panel, with a time out feature, battery discharge protection, controlling a mag switch that provides power.

· Life gate controls to be accessible and operable for solo raising and lowering of platform.

§ A redundant secondary deployable remote to control platform should be inoperable.

ix. Winter Performance and “Winter Ready” Package

The vehicle must be equipped for serve winter operations.

a. Cab Heating: High-voltage electric heater (PTC) required. Heat pump technology is highly desirable for range conservation.

b. Cold Weather Package: Heated mirrors and Battery Heater Pre-conditioning capability. The vehicle must be able to use grid power (while plugged in) to warm the battery pack to optimal operation temperature before the shift begins.

· Operational Impact: Preconditioning can maintain 10-15% of battery capacity that would otherwise consume the first hour of driving to heat the thermal mass of the battery and the cabin.

c. Traction: Automatic Traction Control (ATC) and a driver-controlled locking rear differential. Auto-chain system to minimize delays while traveling in adverse winter weather conditions.

Serviceability, Warranty, and Training Requirements (both trucks):

i. Warranty Coverage:

a. Basic Vehicle: 2 years/Unlimited miles.

b. Drivetrain and Battery: 5 years/150,000 miles (minimum).

c. Cab and Frame Structure: 7 years.

ii. Service Network: Offeror(s) must identify an authorized service centers within 100 miles of Canon City, Colorado (81212). The facility must be equipped with EV-specific tooling and staffed by high-voltage certified technicians.

a. Mobile Service: Preference given to Offerors capable of performing routine maintenance and diagnostics on-site at the CDOC facility to minimize security transport risks.

iii. Training: Offeror will be required to provide 4 hours or the necessary amount of “Train the Trainer” operator instruction (regenerative braking, charging procedures). Including high-voltage safety, lockout/tagout procedures.

Electric Chassis Delivery Timeframe Policy To mitigate risks associated with supply chain volatility and long-lead components, the awarded Offeror(s) must strictly adhere to the Electric Chassis Delivery Timeframe policy.

i. Confirmation Requirement: The awarded Offeror must achieve and provide written confirmation of chassis production or build slot availability within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days following contract execution.

ii. Documentation: Confirmation must include a valid OEM-issued production number, build week assignment, or a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allocation specifically reserved for the CDOC.

i. FOB Destination: Delivery must be made to CDOC Fleet Services, located at the East

Canon City Prison Complex.

ii. Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI): The Offeror and DOC personnel are required to conduct a complete PDI and detail the vehicle before its handover. This inspection must occur at the vehicle's build site to verify that all specifications have been met.

The Offeror will need to provide model range estimate for the proposed vehicle configuration (Full GVCWR tractor + trailer loaded to max weight threshold) (Full GVWR + Reefer load) at 50°F, 32°F, and 0°F. Detail the methodology used for these estimates (e.g., simulation software, real-world telematics data from similar fleets).

ii. The Offeror will need to provide the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over a 10-year period, prioritizing this metric over the initial purchase price as follows:
