FHP Vehicle Transport Services

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), through its division of the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to establish a contract with a transportation and logistics company to transport motor vehicles utilizing car hauling trailers/open car carrier trailers to various locations throughout the state of Florida. The contract will have an initial term of 3 years, with an option to renew for up to 3 additional years. The Department estimates transporting approximately 100-200 FHP vehicles annually, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and possibly Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) or armored vehicles during emergencies. The contractor will be responsible for safely transporting the vehicles, ensuring adequate precautions are taken to avoid damage, and adhering to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Pricing will be based on a fixed price per mile per vehicle, and the contract will be awarded to the responsible and responsive bidder that submits the lowest "Grand Total Price" for each vehicle type.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget or award value range is not specified in the documents provided; however, the Department is seeking competitive bids to establish a contract for this service, which was not previously in place.
