Capitol Reef National Park, 2024 Ford Raptor (F150) Upfit

Statement of Work Capitol Reef National Park, Visitor and Resource Protection Division has one law enforcement vehicle that needs upfitted with the equipment listed below. This statement of work contains a detailed description of the labor tasks required and the equipment to be installed, the vendor will upfit as described.

Timeline This vehicle upfitting will occur between February 2025 - May 2025. The vendor should have all equipment to be installed on hand at the time the vehicle is left with the vendor for equipment installation.

Location Vehicle will be delivered and picked up by the government to and from the vendor’s location. The vendor must be within a 250 mile radius of Capitol Reef National Park. Vendor can contact Brenda Zirwas at Brenda_Zirwas@nps.gov or call 435-425-4131 with any questions.

The government will receive, inspect, and transport all vehicles from the vendor’s facility after completion of the work.

Use of Quality Materials Vendors must utilize quality wiring, equipment, metal material and custom fabrication when integrating law enforcement packages into vehicles. Vendors must be able to provide the most technologically advanced and safe emergency equipment.

All work performed will be in accordance with the standards established by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

Each install will be held to the following standards. This is not all inclusive of every quality measure that will be checked for but should be used as a guideline of the quality expected.

Light bar flash patterns and color must be programmed to Agency standards. For reliability, safety and uniformity the light bars and controllers must be of the same manufacturer (when possible).

a) All grounding locations are required to use “star washers” under the ring terminal. All grounds will be checked for tightness and correct crimping as per MECP best practices for making low and high current connections.

b) Do not share factory grounding points with aftermarket equipment to minimize the risk of damage to OEM and aftermarket equipment. If an open or unused grounding point is unavailable, please use a nut and bolt opposed to using self-tapping screws into metal. Also, you may need to sand or scuff the paint at the grounding points to ensure a good connection.

c) There will be minimum use of wire extensions and butt splices. We need to minimize the failure points of the install wherever possible.

d) All crimp points need to be checked for proper crimps. The seam of the connector cannot be spread apart after the crimp. Also, the dimple of the crimp needs to be 180 degrees offset from the connector seam.

e) All outside wire connections made (i.e. siren speaker, grille lights, inserts, wig wags, etc.) will need to be made with weatherproof connectors or heat shrink used on ½” on either side of the connection.

f) All wire runs that are out in the open and not tucked away under or behind a panel will need to be placed inside of black wire loom, zip tied to a factory wire harness (where applicable) or the framing to keep wires run in a neat and consistent fashion.

g) Any pass through wiring (wires that pass through a hole in metal) will need to have a rubber gromet installed at the pass through to prevent wire chaffing and accidental grounding as well as silicone used to prevent water intrusion.

h) All wire termination points will need 6” of extra wire or slack for any repairs that need to be made to equipment. The extra wiring will need to be neatly secured near the connection point to provide a clean install. All wiring runs will need to be zip tied, electrical taped or loomed together where applicable. “Rats nests” wiring is not acceptable.

i) All equipment installed will be inspected for functionality and security. All parts need to be secured properly with the appropriate hardware that is in compliance with the part manufacturer and standards set by MECCP best practices.

j) All wires and cabling will need to be run in a way that is free from pinch points, retaining clips, sharp objects, including metal edges, and tucked away so the wires are not seen, and checked for any cuts in the wire insulation where grounding can cause performance issues.

k) Every wire connection needs to be checked for proper seating and correct wiring.

l) Light lenses must be cleaned, and debris removed from the holes that were drilled for lighting inserts.

m) Factory lights will be plugged in and checked for proper functionality after installing aftermarket lights.

n) All trim screws need to be replaced when removed for installation equipment. If any retaining clips, trim or interior panels, or dash panels are damaged and/or broken during the removal process, they will be replaced with an OEM equivalent or better.

o) All panels and interior trim need to be fitted properly and correctly; seated in position.

p) No carpet bulges. All carpeting must be flush, and no wires run under or around vehicle pedals or moving components where vehicle operator is seated. If wire or cabling needs be run in this area, please run and use multiple secured on all wires above drivers’ feet, behind knee bolster as far away as you can get it from moving parts.

q) All dash pieces need to be properly seated and free of damage. All OEM components will need to be checked for functionality prior to and after the installation has taken place.

r) The vehicle cannot have any warning lights illuminated on the instrument cluster after the install (with the exception of the TPMS light).

s) Seal all holes and gromets where mounting or a pass through was made to prevent water intrusion with a urethane sealant.

t) All antenna coax ends will need to be properly crimped as per MECP best practices. There will need to be 6” of extra coax in addition to strain relief for repairs. Strain relief must be used on all microphone cables to prevent damage to cable ends.

u) Check weather stripping for proper seating if removed.

v) All areas where fasteners are used to mount equipment will need to be checked on both sides of the mounting surface prior to drilling to prevent accidentally running into a wire harness or OEM/aftermarket components.

w) Vehicle will be checked for any exterior and interior damage before and after installation. If the vendor notices any damage, they must inform the agency before performing the install. The vendor will be held liable for any damage that occurs to the vehicle while it is in their possession.

x) Vehicle must be completely cleaned inside where the installation has taken place. All metal shavings must be removed from carpet areas, drip trays and other surfaces.

y) An anti-rust inhibitor must be used where pass through holes are drilled through metal (i.e. light bar cabling hole, firewall pass through, and NIMO coax holes).

z) No splicing of vehicle factory wiring will be an acceptable practice of installation.

aa) Vinyl vehicle markings will be installed bubble free.

ab) Vinyl vehicle markings will wrap all seems of doors, panels and lighting housings.

ac) Vinyl markings will be applied according to NPS policy.

ad) Police radio will be installed with wire connections that can be disconnected and connected without tools for maintenance and removal/install of the radio. The screw attachment of the antenna wire in the back of the radio will suffice.

Capitol Reef National Park 2024 Ford Raptor (F150) Upfit The vehicle will be upfitted using the following part and task list.

All equipment must meet or exceed industry standards. If there are any questions, please contact Brenda Zirwas, 435-425-4131, Brenda_Zirwas@nps.gov.
