Conservation/SLD/Fayette County (NW) - Vehicle Repairs

The State of Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting bids for vehicle repairs for State Lands' fleet in northwest Alabama under an all-or-none award structure, with responses due October 2, 2026. The vendor must be located in Fayette County — a restrictive local-vendor requirement that eliminates all non-Fayette suppliers from consideration.

The scope covers repairs for Ford F-150 (5.0L V8 gas engine) and Ford F-450 (6.7L V8 diesel engine) vehicles as needed throughout the initial contract year of October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The vendor must maintain consistency in pricing, products, services, specifications, and deliverables across the entire contract term.

The cumulative contract value shall not exceed $25,000, with a maximum term of five years. DCNR intends to establish a multi-year agreement with renewal options and term length to be determined at the time of award. Annual renewal requires written agreement by both parties. Pricing must remain firm throughout the contract term; any requested escalations may not exceed 5% of annual contract costs or corresponding industry price indices.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Compliance requirements include E-Verify enrollment verification, sales tax exemption certification, disclosure statements, and debarment/suspension certifications. Disputes are resolved through good faith negotiation or alternative dispute resolution under Alabama state law in Montgomery.
