Ambulance Remount Specification - One (1) Wrecked Unit

Rowan County Emergency Services is seeking bids for an ambulance remount project involving the remanufacturing of a wrecked Type III ambulance (Unit #2400) from a damaged 2023 Ford E450 chassis onto a new 2024 or newer van cutaway chassis. The Invitation to Bid (ITB 2025-016(a)) requires contractors to comprehensively inspect and reuse components in new or near-new condition, transfer emergency lighting and equipment, repair body damage, repaint as necessary, and ensure all systems are fully functional upon delivery. Bidders must submit sealed proposals to the Rowan County Purchasing Department by December 23, 2024, at 9:00 AM ET, with written questions due by December 17, 2024, at 5:00 PM ET. The procurement requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, general liability ($500,000/$1,000,000), and automobile liability ($1,000,000). Contractors will be subject to liquidated damages of $150 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion date.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bid price must include all applicable taxes, bonds, permits, licenses, insurance costs, and other incidental expenses, with an additional 10% contingency. Successful bidders must provide warranties covering materials, workmanship, and paint/bodywork. While no specific budget range is listed, the comprehensive nature of the remount project suggests a potentially significant investment in emergency vehicle refurbishment. The procurement covers jurisdictions including Rockingham County and Sea Breeze CDP in North Carolina, with the primary focus on Rowan County Emergency Services' need to restore a critically damaged ambulance to full operational status. No incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation.
