Collision repair and auto body work

The Clinton County Sheriff's Department is seeking sealed bids for comprehensive collision repair and auto body work services for its county vehicle fleet, with proposals due on November 6, 2025, at 11:30 AM. The procurement targets a vendor capable of providing full-spectrum vehicle repair services including structural and frame repairs, body panel replacement, refinishing, mechanical repairs, and detailing for emergency response, administrative, and support vehicles. Vendors must possess a minimum of 10+ years of experience, employ a Senior Master Auto Body Technician, and maintain at least five full-time Auto Body Technicians. Required qualifications include certified technicians, capability to work with multiple vehicle manufacturers (Dodge, Ram, Subaru, Toyota, KIA, Honda, Mitsubishi), and proficiency in industry-standard estimating software like CCC or Audatex. The successful bidder must use new OEM parts, PPG paint systems, and adhere to original equipment manufacturer specifications, EPA, and OSHA regulations. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical capabilities, experience, warranty offerings, and compliance with specified repair standards.

The contract does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to qualified automotive repair businesses meeting the comprehensive technical requirements. Vendors must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Garage Keepers Liability, and provide extensive warranty coverage including lifetime warranties on body and structural repairs and 12-month/12,000-mile coverage for collision-related mechanical repairs. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the contract is renewable for two additional one-year terms upon mutual written consent and extends pricing to all Clinton County departments. Payment terms are specified as Net 30 days, and the vendor must demonstrate the ability to handle specialized repair needs such as vehicle striping, graphics, and non-OEM upfit items. The contract's scope suggests a potentially significant annual value depending on the county's fleet size and repair requirements.
