(10) Braun Ambulance Remounts

Greenville County, South Carolina is seeking sealed proposals for ten (10) Braun ambulance remounts through RFP #25008, with a comprehensive project focused on upgrading existing ambulance units by removing patient compartments from old chassis and mounting them onto new 2024 Ford F450 chassis. The procurement requires vendors to demonstrate experience in ambulance remounting, comply with federal and state regulations, and provide detailed specifications including liquid spring suspension, diamond plate exterior modifications, stainless fuel bezels, and wheel simulators. Proposals are due by August 6, 2024, at 3:00 pm through the county's online procurement portal, with an anticipated 120-day completion timeline and plans to remount 2-3 ambulances simultaneously. The county will evaluate submissions based on six equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to RFP, experience, ability to meet specifications, timeline, references, and cost, with each criterion representing 16.7% of the total scoring. The project schedule includes a tentative award date of August 8, 2024, and purchase order issuance on August 15, 2024.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, vendors must complete a Substitute Form W-9 and provide comprehensive business entity information. The RFP requires vendors to carry substantial insurance coverage, including general liability and automobile liability policies. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the pricing proposal includes line items for ambulance remounts, transportation, warranty, and sales/use tax for the ten total units. Vendors must provide detailed pricing structures and demonstrate capability to complete the full scope of work. The procurement appears to be open to qualified ambulance remounting vendors who can meet the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the RFP, with a focus on vendors experienced in ambulance modification and retrofit services.
