Law Enforcement Vehicle CLASS A Statement of Work

Location of vehicle: Valle de Oro NWR

7851 2nd Street, SW

Albuquerque, NM 87105

BACKGROUND

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Refuge Law Enforcement Southwest

(DRLESW) replaces emergency vehicles at regular intervals. Once acquired, these vehicles need to be fitted with emergency lighting, audible warning, control console, and other miscellaneous mission specific equipment.

Vehicles, as defined by the National Wildlife Refuge System Law Enforcement and will be outfitted as a fully marked Class A. Internally and externally installed equipment are upfitted identically to maintain standardization and meet policy guidelines.

OBJECTIVES

The Service acquires emergency response vehicles to ensure the safety of our Federal Wildlife

Officers (FWO) in the performance of their duties. The upfitting of the components required to perform daily patrol work and investigations are of utmost importance to the mission. The ability to safely respond with adequate emergency lighting, audible warning, and a standardized visual appearance is achieved through the quality upfitting of vehicles by a vendor which meets or exceeds public safety levels.

DRLESW retains the right to conduct on-site inspections of the upfitted vehicles at the vendor location any time prior to delivery. No vehicle will be delivered without consent of the

DRLESW Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR), or designee.

WARRANTY

The contractor will provide a minimum twelve (12) month warranty on all work. Major components and sub-assemblies shall be warrantied through their respective manufacturers. In the event a defect in installation workmanship is discovered following delivery of a vehicle at its destination, the contractor shall itself, or sub-contract with a company in that geographic area, to make repairs and shall assume financial responsibility for all costs related to the repair.

SCOPE OF WORK

UP- FITTING

The awarded vendor will be subject to work oversight conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service, Division of Refuge Law Enforcement Southwest located at 4400 Masthead St NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109; work will be performed to pre-established standards and may be conducted at the awarded vendors facilities during the upfitting of equipment to be installed in the vehicles identified in the agreement.

The vendors facility must be in Arizona.

The vendor agrees to complete the up-fitting and deliver a patrol-ready vehicle within 150 days of the awarded contract or being notified the vehicle is available for upfitting.

DRLESW will be responsible for transporting vehicles to the awarded facility.

The vehicles requiring upfitting and delivery are based on the GSA SIN are as follows:

4 - 2025 Chevy K1500, crew cab.

The installation of aftermarket equipment is to be in compliance with the manufacturer instructions for the item to be installed.

The vendor will install all emergency vehicle equipment in a consistent standardized manner.

The vendor will ensure every vehicle is identical in that each component included in the upfitting is the same throughout all vehicles, to include the routes in which the wiring is laid throughout the interior of the vehicle. The wiring must include weatherproof protective sheathing in areas which may subject the wire to outside elements, in areas that are crimped, and/or areas that wear may cause failure of the equipment to which it is connected, and potentially damage to the vehicle.

The wiring standard for DRLESW vehicles must account for all butt connectors and solder point be shrink wrapped at the connection points. When installing equipment and wiring the vehicles, the vendor shall ensure that performance and workmanship will minimize risk of electrical failure, mechanical failure, and/or fire due to changes made by the vendor.

The vendor will leave a basic wiring and fuse box diagram for any installed or upgrades to the

OEM fuse box, in the glove box of the completed vehicle.

The installed equipment must be able to sustain extremes in vibration, climate, and conditions, from extreme cold, snow-covered highways, to extreme hot, dusty wash-boarded gravel roads, to off-road use.

When selecting mounting location for lights or accessories on or in the vehicle, resale consideration should be factored in, with no holes drilled into the exterior of the vehicles body, and minimal holes drilled within the interior. During the decommissioning process, vendors are required to return the vehicle to as close to original condition as possible to maximize resale value. Ideally, additional lights and/or accessories are to be mounted (holes) in less conspicuous locations or on aftermarket hardware.

All original equipment removed from the vehicle is to be returned with the vehicle at time of delivery.
