One (1) Wheelchair Accessible Van - Furnish & Deliver to HCF

The State of Hawaii, specifically the Hawaii Department of Corrections for the Halawa Correctional Facility located in Honolulu County, is seeking to procure one (1) new 2024 hybrid wheelchair-accessible mini-van for inmate transportation. The procurement requires a vehicle with a 118"-124" wheelbase, 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine, and full ADA compliance, including a side loading door, wheelchair securement system, and 6-passenger seating capacity. Key specifications mandate a white/gray colored vehicle with comprehensive safety features that meet federal motor vehicle regulations. The solicitation (ID: 67d57c388a2210a15c05d064) was posted on March 14, 2025, with proposal responses due by April 1, 2025. Additional requirements include a 3-year/36,000 miles basic warranty, 5-year/60,000 miles drivetrain warranty, and mandatory delivery to the Halawa Correctional Facility in Aiea, Hawaii, with the contractor responsible for installing state-provided vehicle graphics.

The procurement appears to follow Hawaii's sustainable vehicle procurement policy, which prioritizes zero-emission and alternative fuel vehicles. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents, the standard AG-008 103D General Conditions suggest potential compliance requirements with state procurement diversity guidelines. The vehicle will be equipped with additional accessories including a fire extinguisher, multiple key sets, and comprehensive operational manuals. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documents, the procurement is for a single wheelchair-accessible van designed for correctional facility inmate transportation. The solicitation is governed by Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 103D and includes standard contractual provisions for state government procurement, which provide a comprehensive framework for vendor selection, performance expectations, and contractual obligations.
