35-X196540 Truck Bed 6. 5 RRU Body Insert

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mine Safety, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the procurement and installation of a truck bed conversion system designated as 35-X196540 for an Emergency Response Vehicle. The procurement specifically requires a 6.5-foot All Fiberglass RRU Model 644 Body with interior dimensions of 50 inches wide by 80 inches long by 44 inches high in standard white gelcoat finish, to be installed on a 2023 Ford F-350 vehicle. The specifications call for automotive-style slam doors with power-actuated locking paddle handles, reinforced floors and roof, integrated side compartments measuring 21 inches high by 70 inches wide by 9 inches deep, floor-mounted aluminum slides with 750-pound capacity from OnScene Solutions 81 Series, multi-bin SCBA storage, LED lighting including four 40-inch LED Luma bars with red flashing open door indicators, 12V and 120V power outlets, and optional turtle tile surfaces for trays and shelves. The procurement is explicitly designated "no substitution," meaning the specified RRU Model 644 body is mandatory with no acceptable alternatives. Physical delivery and installation must occur either at a Pennsylvania manufacturer or onsite at 310 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931, with the contract including a one-year standard conversion warranty and transportation to the Pennsylvania installation location. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on grand total price, with all costs including installation and delivery incorporated into line item pricing and no additional costs permitted. Bids are due April 23, 2026, with all submissions required electronically through the Department of General Services' eMarketplace website. Technical questions should be directed to Dustin Mowery at 724-404-3146 or dumowery@pa.gov, while bidding procedure questions should be directed to Brian Franklin at 717-787-2471 or brfranklin@pa.gov, with email communication preferred for both contacts.

All bidders must complete and submit a Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements Form (GSPUR-89) and a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form (BOP-2201) with their bids, certifying compliance with Pennsylvania's labor and workplace safety laws including the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, Minimum Wage Act, Prevailing Wage Act, Equal Pay Law, Apprenticeship and Training Act, and requirements under the Unemployment Compensation Law and Workers' Compensation Law. The Reciprocal Limitations Act applies to this procurement, requiring Pennsylvania to extend preference to bidders offering products manufactured or grown in Pennsylvania against bidders from states that grant reciprocal in-state preferences, with specific preference percentages varying by state and product category for supplies. All bidders must identify the manufacturer and state of manufacture for each item, with Pennsylvania resident bidders required to provide proof of bona fide business establishment within the Commonwealth; failure to provide required manufacturer information within two business days of notification will result in bid rejection. False certifications on either required form result in immediate contract termination and three-year ineligibility to bid on Commonwealth contracts. No pricing information, award values, or budget ranges have been disclosed in the procurement documents; payment to the contractor shall be made within approximately 30 business days after invoice receipt at the unit bid price for quantities supplied.
