About this file
This is a Cost Proposal Template (Attachment D) for RFP 26-84944 issued by the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) on behalf of all state agencies to establish a quantity purchase agreement for mobility vans. The RFP seeks vendors to supply multiple vehicle types annually, including up to 80 low floor minivans, 50 small transit cutaway vehicles, 15 large transit cutaway vehicles, 40 medium transit vehicles, and 10 Ford Transit Cutaway vehicles. The proposal deadline is December 17, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for October 29, 2025. The initial contract term is two years with three optional one-year renewals, potentially extending to five years total. Respondents must complete cost proposals exclusively in the provided Excel workbook by populating only yellow-shaded cells for each vehicle type for which they are responding, including the manufacturer model, model year, order cut-off date, and purchase price per vehicle. The template covers five vehicle categories: Low Floor Minivan, Small Transit Vehicle, Large Transit Vehicle, Ford Transit Cutaway, and an additional category for optional equipment, with detailed specifications for each vehicle type referenced in Attachment M.
The cost proposal instructions mandate strict adherence to the Excel format without modifications to formatting, structure, or formulas, with non-compliance potentially resulting in disqualification. Respondents must enter dollar amounts to the cent value and percentages to the one-hundredth decimal place, entering "0" for items with no charge and leaving no cells blank for any vehicle type being proposed. The template includes comprehensive optional equipment sections for each vehicle type, such as oxygen tank holders, fold-away seats, ramps, public information systems, fare boxes, and destination signs, with respondents required to indicate availability as "Yes," "No," or "N/A" and provide associated costs or reductions. Respondents may also propose additional optional equipment on a dedicated tab that could benefit INDOT subrecipients. Non-Excel workbook information, such as accessory or option price lists, must be submitted electronically alongside the Excel workbook as supplementary materials. The proposal emphasizes that federal funding guidelines will supersede state terms and conditions, and all delivery fees must be incorporated into overall pricing with no additional charges permitted.

Folding, molded armrests shall be provided on all foldaway seats adjacent to an aisle.
Grab rails shall be provided as well.
Fold Away Seat – One Passenger: The fold away seat is installed at the mobility aid positions in a vehicle equipped with a lift system.
The seat shall be attached to the interior wall or floor of the vehicle and should be forward-facing. Any seat securements on the vehicle floor must be flush with the floor. When folded up, the seat shall not interfere with the use of mobility aid positions.
The seat is intended to provide regular passenger seating capacity as a last resort when persons in wheelchairs or other mobility aids are not being transported and are intended to remain folded up until needed. A pin, or lever type device must be used to keep the seat in the up position while the vehicle is in motion, and shall be designed as to prevent any rattling of the seat or seat supports. The seat may vary from the previously stated requirements for both the design and the dimensions of regular passenger seats.
The seat shall be in addition to the basic number of passenger seating positions required in the vehicle and shall not count toward the minimum passenger seating capacity required for this vehicle. The seat shall accommodate one seated adult passenger with reasonable comfort.
Each fold away shall have one seat belt. Each belt shall be equipped with a retractor that keeps the belt webbing or strap off the floor when the belt is not in use.
Each fold away seat shall have a vinyl-covered cushion on the seat and seat back. The color of the seat and seat back cushions shall be the same as those of the regular passenger seats, or they may be black.
The seat shall be designed to remain in a vertical position when folded up and if a spring, or other type of mechanism, is used to return the seat from the horizontal to the vertical position, the return mechanism will not create a safety hazard for a passenger arising from the seat.
Folding, molded armrests shall be provided on all foldaway seats adjacent to an aisle.
Grab rails shall be provided as well.
Flat Floor With No Wheel Wells: In lieu of (or in addition to) the floor described in the specifications, the floor shall be completely flat from the rear of the vehicle to the top step in the vestibule to the right of the driver. If design of the chassis does not allow for the raised floor to be incorporated into the step well, then the additional step can be positioned behind the driver's seat. The floor structure shall consist of a series of lengthwise and cross-sectional steel members (12 gauge minimum).
The height of the lengthwise and cross-sectional members shall be approximately equal with the intent of bringing the top of the composite floor structure to the same elevation as the top of the rear wheelwell housings. Alternative methods of construction yielding the same intent may be permitted with prior approval of INDOT. The raised floor shall provide a minimum of 73 inches of headroom.
The floor shall be constructed of ¾ inch Marine Grade plywood with an aluminum underbelly pan.
