Statement of Work (SOW) Can Ams RR Turbo LE (3) Restoration (3) Yamaha Raptor 700 (4) Polaris RZR 100 , Kawasaki KTR750 LE & Restoration UTV’s & ATV’S Maintenance 2025-2026 The purpose of this procurement is to ensure the following BLM UTV’s, and ATV’s will remain in service over the 2025-2026 Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area season to provide emergency, rescue, and Restoration services to the public during our peak recreation season.

Although BLM understands there can be unavoidable breakdowns and driver errors that cause damage to the vehicle, the objective of this procurement is to minimize the chance of mechanical failure and ensure vehicles are safe for employee operation. If there is an item on any of the vehicles that vendor believes needs to be addressed to meet the objective of this procurement, and is not addressed below, vendor should notify BLM.

The following is a description of the steps needed to complete this job and receive payment.

1. BLM El Centro Field Office (ECFO) will deliver vehicles to vendor within 25 miles from ECFO for inspection.

2. Vendor must be fully registered in SAM.gov.

3. Vendor will perform work as described below in Statement of Work

4. Any further deficiencies found outside scope of work will be annotated for future repair date with an estimated cost of repairs.

5. Vendor will contact BLM to arrange pick up vehicle once work has been completed.

6. BLM will inspect vehicles and compare the SOW to work described in copy of final invoice

7. Vendor will submit final invoice through Internet Payment Platform (IPP) for payment.

All removed usable parts will be labeled and returned to BLM to be used in case of emergency during the dunes season.

Specific Known Issues to Be Addressed:

The following maintenance items have been identified as known issues for the Can-Am Maverick X3 fleet (3), Polaris RZR1000 (1), and Yamaha KTR750 (1) These issues impact the operational readiness, safety, and performance of the vehicles and are to be addressed as part of this procurement:

1. V-Belt (Drive Belt) The drive belts are worn and showing signs of slipping under load, resulting in reduced power transfer and potential overheating during high-demand operations.

2. Brake Pads and Rotors Brake pads are nearing minimum thickness, and rotors show signs of scoring and heat damage. Braking efficiency is reduced, especially under heavy use.

3. Air Filter Air filters are clogged with dust and debris from previous seasons, which reduces engine performance and increases the risk of contaminants entering the intake system.

4. Electrical System and Battery Several units are experiencing intermittent electrical faults, including slow cranking and voltage drops. Batteries are nearing end of life or have failed, affecting ignition and accessory systems.

5. Spark Plugs Spark plugs show signs of fouling and wear, causing poor engine starts, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

6. CV Joints and Boots CV boots are torn or brittle, exposing joints to sand and debris. There is audible clicking from some CV joints during turning, indicating joint wear and potential failure.

7. Engine Oil Engine oil is degraded due to extended use and extreme operating temperatures. Oil shows signs of thermal breakdown and contamination.

8. Coolant Coolant is discolored and may have reduced effectiveness. Overheating has been reported in some units, possibly due to compromised coolant properties.

9. Brake Fluid Brake fluid is contaminated with moisture and is due for replacement to maintain safe braking performance under load.

10. Power Steering Fluid Steering systems are showing signs of stiffness and inconsistent assist. Fluid contamination or low levels suspected.

11. Drivetrain and Transmission Inspection Drivetrain components, including the transmission and differentials, are exhibiting noise and delayed engagement under load. Full inspection is needed to determine wear or damage.

12. Damaged Suspension/Steering Components Visual inspections show cracked bushings, worn ball joints, and leaking shock absorbers. These impact ride quality, vehicle control, and operator safety.

13. Oil Pressure Switch and Oil Sensor Oil warning lights are being triggered erroneously or not at all. Faulty sensors and switches may be providing inaccurate engine oil pressure readings and must be replaced.

14. Annual Inspection / Maintenance Full annual inspection overdue. All critical systems including fluids, filters, brakes, suspension, drive components, and safety features must be inspected and documented.

15. Antenna and Whip Replacement Some antennas and whip lights are broken or missing, reducing vehicle visibility and violating operational standards for off-road public safety units.

16. Frame / Body Damage Cracks, dents, and structural fatigue observed on some units. These must be addressed to ensure safe operation and operator protection.

17. Door Handle Replacement Broken or inoperative door handles found on some units. This impairs safe ingress/egress and must be corrected.

Known Issues to Be Addressed – Yamaha Raptor 700 Units The following issues have been identified across the Yamaha Raptor 700 fleet, which may affect safe operation and rider control. These issues are to be addressed to ensure performance during peak use:

1. Transmission Fluid Old or low transmission fluid causing hard shifts or noisy gear changes. Service required to maintain smooth and reliable transmission operation.

2. Engine Oil Oil has degraded over time and must be replaced to ensure proper lubrication, cooling, and engine longevity.

3. Air Filter Dust and debris accumulation has reduced airflow, negatively impacting engine performance and throttle response.

4. Spark Plug Spark plugs are fouled or worn, resulting in poor ignition performance and decreased fuel efficiency.

5. Brakes Brake pads and possibly rotors are worn. Stopping distances are increased, and brake feel is inconsistent, requiring full inspection and likely replacement.

6. Cooling System Cooling system requires flushing and inspection. Units are showing signs of elevated temperatures under extended operation.

7. Controls (Throttle, Brakes, Clutch) Throttle, brake, and clutch controls are sticky or loose on some units. Cables and levers require adjustment or replacement to ensure precise control.

The following apply to all UTV’s and ATV’s vendor will inspect, adjust, repair, replace, or consult with BLM on the maintenance items below. If there are other systems on the vehicle that need maintenance, vendor will consult with BLM for guidance. If there are items that vendor determines will not need maintenance (i.e. recently replaced engine), vendor will advise BLM. At a minimum, vendor will address the following:

1. Frame/Body/Electrical

a. Inspect frame and welds for rust, damage, cracks, and structural integrity.

b. Fix side panels and scratches along with any paint / powder coat touch up to frame.

c. Check all lights to make sure they are in working order, including emergency lights, gauge lights, head lights, and dome light.

d. Inspect and clean all wiring connections.

e. Ensure all side panels and instrument covers are securely mounted and fasteners are torqued and tightened with “Locktight” or comparable product.

2. Engine: Inspection and test and notify BLM of the results

a. New spark plugs installed

b. Compression test, report compression for all cylinders

3. Controls: Exterior visual inspection and test

a. Steering components including but not limited to, bushings, front wheel alignment, rack and pinion, seals, hoses, seals, mounting components, power steering pump, etc.

b. Brake, clutch, throttle pedal assembly

c. Test and inspect all brakes and controls

4. Drive train: Exterior visual inspection and test

a. Trans axel, adjustment if necessary

b. Axel CV joints

c. Service hubs/ CV axels

5. Suspension: Exterior visual inspection and test

a. All suspension components, front and rear, including but not limited to, seals, joints, bearings, etc.

b. All plastic air lines changed

c. Replace suspension bushings if necessary (suspension should operate without squeaks)

d. Inspect / test air compressor output

6. Misc

a. Inspect all seats for any failures that may compromise structural integrity to ensure employee safety.

b. Inspect all rubber boots and replace if necessary.

c. All fasteners tightened and/or re-torqued.

d. All bearings greased.

e. Inspect and repair all leaks (fluids, exhaust, air, etc.).

f. Replace any missing fasteners.
