Emergency Vehicle Equipment Removal - MVA

The Town of Mooresville, North Carolina is soliciting qualifications from vendors for a Master Vendor Agreement (MVA-2025-08) focused on emergency vehicle equipment removal services. Specifically, the procurement targets vendors capable of completely removing equipment from emergency vehicles, with an initial focus on a 2025 Ford Explorer PPV. Required equipment removal includes exterior and interior components such as light bars, control systems, speakers, siren systems, console and laptop assemblies, gun racks, prisoner walls, seats, push bumpers, window bars, radios, cameras, and interior lighting. Vendors must submit a comprehensive qualifications package that includes a detailed scope of work, estimated total labor cost for equipment removal, current Certificate of Insurance, W-9, three professional references, and accounts payable contact information. The solicitation requires vendors to be located within 60 miles or one hour's drive of Mooresville or provide no-cost vehicle transportation. The contract has an initial term of 36 months with an option to renew for an additional two years, and the Town reserves the right to select multiple vendors and terminate the contract at any time without explanation. Responses are due by April 16, 2025, at 12:00 pm, with vendor selection based on availability, price, and work quality.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with non-discrimination policies and E-Verify regulations, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage as detailed in the attached exhibits. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability with $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate coverage, Commercial Automobile Insurance, and Workers' Compensation Insurance for vendors with three or more employees. The Town requires vendors to have insurance from a licensed North Carolina insurer with an A.M. Best's rating of A-VII or better. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract allows for flexible, as-needed service provision with no guaranteed minimum purchase quantity. Payment terms indicate the Town will remit invoices within 45 days of receipt. The procurement allows for potential additional insurance coverages based on the Town's Risk Department's assessment of special project risks, which could include Professional Liability, Cyber Liability, and Umbrella Liability policies. The contract's funding is subject to ongoing town budget allocations, suggesting potential variability in total contract value.
