2015 Hazmat Emergency Lighting

The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) Procurement Office is soliciting a documented quote for complete vehicle lighting packages for hazardous materials and motor carrier safety vehicles serving Denver County and Denver City. The procurement seeks a single vendor to supply lighting packages for nine vehicles total: five 2015 Ford F350 Hazmat trucks and four 2015 Ford F150 Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) trucks. Each lighting package consists of approximately 16 components per vehicle, including Whelen warning lights, puddle lights, LED flashers, speakers, mounting hardware, Sound Off signal headlight flashers, and D&R Electronics map lights. All equipment must be new, and bidders must provide proof of manufacturer's warranty documentation with their quotes. Quotes were due on May 26, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. MDT, submitted via email or mail to Purchasing Agent Vera Kennedy. The anticipated initial award period covers Fiscal Year 2016 through June 30, 2016, with CSP reserving the right to renew the award for an additional 12-month period through FY17, during which an estimated 10 additional lighting packages may be needed. Evaluation criteria include pricing validity for the length of the award, delivery timeframes to FOB Destination Golden, Colorado, and the vendor's capability to supply all components as a single source.

Bidders must be registered with Colorado VSS by the submission deadline to be considered for award, and CSP expects a single award to one vendor capable of supplying all components with no multiple awards to be made. The solicitation is subject to Colorado procurement statutes governing environmentally preferable products, low tie bid procedures, and reciprocity preferences for resident bidders, which may provide advantages to Colorado-based disadvantaged enterprises or resident-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this solicitation. The Colorado State Patrol is tax-exempt and will handle shipping and billing through the Fleet Operations Section at the Golden, Colorado location. While a specific budget or award value is not listed in the solicitation documents, the scope covers nine vehicles in the initial award period with potential expansion to 19 total vehicles across both fiscal years if the renewal option is exercised.
