About this file

This is a Question and Answer document for ITN-SPCO-AR-27-01, a Colorado state procurement for 2027 or newer vehicles (ITN 2027000001). The document addresses technical and procedural questions from bidders regarding the bid submission process and requirements. The procurement involves multiple vehicle body types, with bidders required to submit responses using Exhibit 5, the Colorado FY27 Vehicle Bid Template in Excel format. Bidders may submit multiple bids for the same body type by duplicating applicable body type sheets, which automatically generate incremental naming conventions. The document references supporting materials including a Sample Model Contract (Exhibit 1), a Bid Template Review Webinar (Exhibit 4), and the main ITN document (ITN-SPCO-AR-27-01 2027 or Newer Vehicles Rev1.docx).

The Q&A document clarifies technical issues encountered during the bid submission process, including file access permissions, split-view functionality in the Excel template that allows users to maintain vehicle type visibility while entering bid information, and removal of obsolete specification codes (items #670 and #673) that were included in error and should be disregarded. Insurance requirements are specified in Section 12 of the Sample Model Contract, and instructions for modifications to state contract terms and conditions are located in Section 4, Vendor Response K of the main ITN document. The document indicates that Revision 2 of the bid template was posted to address identified issues, reflecting an iterative refinement of the procurement materials prior to bid submission.

Question and Answer

ITN-SPCO-AR-27-01

ITN 2027000001

1. Question – Some downloads of “Exhibit 5 – Colorado FY27 Vehicle Bid Template.xlsm” have prompted users for a Password.

Answer – The permissions have been updated to allow anyone with the link viewer access.

2. Question – Some could be experiencing an issue with Exhibit 5. Each time the sheet is downloaded, two different tabs populate. Even when deleting and reuploading the sheet multiple times, the issue persists.

As shown in the screenshot below, there are two scrollers and the entered text is being duplicated.

Answer – The screen is purposely split so that the type of vehicle the user is working with (columns N-P) remain on the left as they work through the remaining columns. Although it appears that the rows are duplicated, there is only one set of rows. Explain this to the user and reaffirm that if they enter information on Row 2 (see first screenshot below), the information is only captured once on Row 2. If the user prefers to remove the split view, they can navigate to the View Menu option then click on Split to remove it (steps provided in the second screenshot below). I have made note of this to clarify this in the instructions for the next bid.

Image showing that although the rows appear to be duplicated, the view is simply split as there is only 1 Row 2:

3.Question- On the PE category it asks on line 670 & 673 “SEE EXHIBIT A & SEE EXHIBIT B”----But there is no package listed for them in the vehicle packages area Answer- Please disregard optional specification #670 "SEE EXHIBIT A" listed under Body Type Codes D5 and PE and the optional specification #673 "SEE EXHIBIT B" listed under Body Type Code PE. These codes are used for internal processing and should have been removed from the BID Template before it was posted. Find Revision 1 posted now.

4.Question-On the F1 or any other body type how is a response completed for two vehicles in the same body type?

Answer-To submit additional bids for any Body Type(s), please duplicate the applicable Body Type sheet. The newly created tab will be named the same as the original tab with an incremental number next to it in parentheses: I.E. When making a copy of Body Type “A1” the new tab will automatically be named “A1(2)”. To view an example of how to duplicate a tab, please refer to the “Exhibit 4-Colorado BID Template Review Webinar.mp4” (17:20).

5.Question-Question on the Insurance requirements.

Answer-For information related to the insurance requirements read Section 12. Insurance in “Exhibit 1 Sample Model Contract.docx”.

6.Question- Question related to acceptance of alternate terms and conditions.

Answer- Please see Section 4. Vendor Response K. Modifications to State Contract for instructions in “ITN-SPCO-AR-27-01 2027 or Newer VehiclesRev1.docx”.
