2025 Rollover Simulator Trailer - Fabrication and Delivery

The Rhode Island State Police is seeking proposals for a 2025 Rollover Simulator Trailer through a Request for Quotation (RFQ26005914) for fabrication and delivery of a fully operational simulator unit designed for public safety demonstrations and community engagement. Qualified vendors must submit electronic proposals through the Ocean State Procures system by October 13, 2025, with a vendor Q&A period running from September 12, 2025, at 4:15 PM to September 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT. The procurement requires comprehensive vendor certification, including detailed business information, ownership disclosure, and potential conflict of interest declarations. Vendors must meet specific technical specifications for the simulator trailer, demonstrating capability to produce a high-quality training and demonstration unit. The solicitation emphasizes vendor compliance with state laws, reporting requirements, and ability to deliver a professional-grade public safety training tool.

The state has established a minority business enterprise participation goal, mandating a minimum of 15% of the contract value be awarded to minority-owned businesses. Vendors must provide extensive insurance documentation, including general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage, and automobile liability coverage. Prospective bidders must disclose any legal or regulatory issues from the past five years and comply with anti-boycott provisions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the solicitation, the complexity of the rollover simulator trailer suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The contract requires vendors to be fully compliant with state regulations, demonstrate technical expertise in trailer fabrication, and show a commitment to meeting the Rhode Island State Police's public safety training and community engagement objectives.
