U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Refuge Law Enforcement Southwest

Law Enforcement Vehicle Performance Statement of Work

BACKGROUND

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Refuge Law Enforcement Southwest

(DRLESW) replaces emergency vehicles at regular intervals. Once acquired, these vehicles need to be fitted with emergency lighting, audible warning, control console, and other miscellaneous mission specific equipment.

Vehicles can be Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) or pickup trucks, of various makes or models as defined by the National Wildlife Refuge System Law Enforcement and will be outfitted as a fully marked (Class A), or un-marked (Class B). Internally and externally installed equipment on the Class A and Class B vehicles are upfitted identically to maintain standardization and meet policy guidelines.

OBJECTIVES

The Service acquires emergency response vehicles to ensure the safety of our Federal Wildlife

Officers (FWO) in the performance of their duties. The upfitting of the components required to perform daily patrol work and investigations are of utmost importance to the mission. The ability to safely respond with adequate emergency lighting, equipment, and prisoner transport is achieved through the quality upfitting of vehicles by a vendor which meets or exceeds public safety levels.

DRLESW retains the right to conduct on-site inspections of the upfitted vehicles at the vendors location any time prior to delivery. No vehicle will be delivered without consent of the

DRLESW Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR), or designee.

WARRANTY

The contractor will provide a minimum twelve (12) month warranty on all work. Major components and sub-assemblies shall be warrantied through their respective manufacturers. In the event a defect in installation workmanship is discovered following delivery of a vehicle at its destination, the contractor shall itself, or sub-contract with a company in that geographic area, to make repairs and shall assume financial responsibility for all costs related to the repair.

SCOPE OF WORK

UP- FITTING

The awarded vendor will be subject to work oversight conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, Division of Refuge Law Enforcement Southwest located at 4400 Masthead St NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109; work will be performed to pre-established standards and may be conducted at the awarded vendors facilities during the up-fitting of equipment to be installed in the vehicles identified in the agreement.

The vendors facility must be in Arizona.

The vendor agrees to complete the up-fitting and deliver a patrol-ready vehicle within 150 days of the awarded contract or being notified the vehicle is available for upfitting.

The vendor agrees to transport the vehicle to its delivery destination if the period of performance is delayed.

The vehicles requiring up-fitting and delivery are based on the GSA SIN are as follows:

Ford, F-150, 4X4, Pickup, Full Size Crew Cab

Chevrolet, K-1500, Silverado, Pickup, Full Size Crew Cab

The requirement of the vendor is the receiving and proper installation of Government identified law enforcement equipment, and delivery of government owned vehicles.

The installation of aftermarket equipment is to be in compliance with the manufacturer instructions for the item to be installed.

The vendor will install all emergency vehicle equipment in a consistent standardized manner.

The vendor will ensure every vehicle is identical in that each component included in the up-fitting is the same throughout all vehicles, to include the routes in which the wiring is laid throughout the interior of the vehicle. The wiring must include weatherproof protective sheathing in areas which may subject the wire to outside elements, in areas that are crimped, and/or areas that wear may cause failure of the equipment to which it is connected, and potentially damage to the vehicle.

The wiring standard for FWS vehicles must account for all butt connectors and solder point be shrink wrapped at the connection points. When installing equipment and wiring the vehicles, the vendor shall ensure that performance and workmanship will minimize risk of electrical failure, mechanical failure, and/or fire due to changes made by the vendor.

The vendor will leave a basic wiring and fuse box diagram for any installed or upgrades to the

OEM fuse box, in the glove box of the completed vehicle.

The installed equipment must be able to sustain extremes in vibration, climate, and conditions, from extreme cold, snow-covered highways, to extreme hot, dusty wash-boarded gravel roads, to off-road use.

3 04/03/25

When selecting mounting location for lights or accessories on or in the vehicle, resale consideration should be factored in, with no holes drilled into the exterior of the vehicles body, and minimal holes drilled within the interior. During the decommissioning process, vendors are required to return the vehicle to as close to original condition as possible to maximize resale value. Ideally, additional lights and/or accessories are to be mounted (holes) in less conspicuous locations or on aftermarket hardware.

All original equipment removed from the vehicle is to be returned with the vehicle at time of delivery.

FWO PACKAGE EQUIPMENT AND UPFITTING STANDARDS

The following regional standards are authorized for both class of vehicle and are as follows, subject to change:

Lightbar (Class A)

A vendor maybe required to install a government furnished lightbar on the vehicle(s) being quoted on this SOW. The lightbar being provided can be new or used. The vendor is asked to contact the COTR during the upfitting cost estimating period to see if a lightbar will be provided or not. The COTR will email the vendor authorization to processed with the agreed upon option.

If a new lightbar is provided by the vendor, the vendor will provide a copy of the original order acknowledgment form for the lightbar provided at time of completion. The form will outlines make, model, and configuration of the lightbar.

The lightbar should have the capability of providing 360º of programmable lighting and the option of full white to front, rear, and alley. Lightbar should be capable of red or blue on each side alley lights as well.

A light color pattern selector switch will be installed to allow the officer the option of the following: four-color patterns: red/white driver side, and blue/white passenger side, with an amber traffic advisor.

All programmable lights shall automatically drop down into a ‘low power’ mode when the headlights are activated. This “night mode” shall drop the LED brightness from 100% intensity to +/-60% brilliance.

Tailgate Strip Lightings.

Two (4”or 6” LED) alternating programmable lighting strips will be mounted in the gap between the bumper and tailgate. Light pattern will be red/blue. Light strips should turn bright white when the vehicle is operated in reverse.

Lighting

The emergency lights mounted in front of the grill that have completely sealed electronics and that are impact resistant. These lights shall have high power LEDs which will provide the greatest visibility during an emergency response.

4 04/03/25

Lights cut-off switch
