Conservation/SLD/Central AL - Vehicle Repairs

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting bids for vehicle repairs on State Lands fleet vehicles located in Central Alabama, with proposals due October 2, 2026. The vendor must be located in Montgomery County — a hard geographic requirement that filters eligibility.

The scope covers maintenance and repair of multiple vehicle platforms and powertrains: Gas V8 Ford and Chevrolet engines; five-cylinder Chevrolet Colorado; Diesel V8 F250 and F450 with 6.7 engines; Dodge Hemi 5.7 and 6.4; Cummins engines; Ford V6 (3.0–5.0) and V8 (4.0–7.3); Ford diesel (5.0–7.3); Chevrolet four- and five-cylinder (3.0–6.0) and V8 (4.0–7.0); Ford Escape, Explorer, F-series, and Super Duty; and Chevrolet 1/4 ton through 1-ton trucks.

The contract is structured as an all-or-none award. The first contract year runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with DCNR intending to establish a multi-year agreement renewable annually. The cumulative contract value cannot exceed $25,000 across all years and renewals combined, with contract term not to exceed five years. The supplier must maintain pricing, products, services, specifications, and deliverables consistently throughout the entire term.

Vendors must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Suppliers employing workers in Alabama must verify E-Verify enrollment. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis. Price escalation requests during performance may be considered if material or labor costs increase significantly, limited to industry-specific price index or CPI increases and a maximum of 5% annually. The supplier must accept multiple electronic payment methods at no additional cost, including state credit cards, P-cards, and EFT transfers.
