PATCHES_ITEMS_67-80.pdf

This document is a patches item list (Items 67-80) supporting the Town of Manchester, Connecticut's Invitation to Bid 25/26-39 for police uniforms, equipment, and supplies. The procurement encompasses 83 total line items including uniforms, duty equipment, body armor, badges, and patches from manufacturers such as Blauer, Safariland, Bianchi, and Monadnock, with item quantities ranging from 5 to 750 units. The bid was issued on February 26, 2026, with a question submission deadline of March 11, 2026, and bids due by March 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. via virtual bid opening through Zoom. The successful bidder must provide on-site measuring services for all uniformed personnel and meet specified delivery timelines: 60 days for dress uniforms, 30 days for dress uniform shirts, and 45 days for all other items. The contract term runs from the award date through August 31, 2027, with an option to extend for up to four additional one-year periods by mutual agreement.

Bid prices must be submitted as firm net delivered prices including all delivery costs and applicable taxes (federal excise tax and Connecticut sales tax) to the Manchester Police Department at 239 Middle Turnpike East, with no fuel or energy surcharges permitted. No substitutions are allowed without explicit written authorization, and the Town reserves the right to reject any and all bids and make awards by item, total, or group. Liquidated damages of $50 per day will be assessed for failure to meet delivery requirements. For contract extensions beyond the original term, prices will be adjusted annually using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. The procurement documents reference prevailing wage requirements under Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-53; however, no explicit set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted bidder categories are designated in the primary procurement documents. Specific budget or award value ranges are not disclosed.
