Four (4) BMW Police Motorcycles

The City of Thousand Oaks is seeking sealed electronic bids for four (4) BMW R1300RT-P Police Motorcycles through Specification #2025/2026-12, with procurement targeting the Thousand Oaks Police Department's specialized vehicle needs. The solicitation requires bidders to submit comprehensive electronic proposals through the city's procurement portal (https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks) by November 12, 2025, at 3:30 PM Pacific Time. The motorcycles must be 2026 model year, fully equipped with law enforcement specifications including emergency warning lights, emergency lighting package, assault rifle mount, radio and radar/LIDAR equipment, and specialized accessories like note pad holders and police decal sets. Specific requirements mandate the motorcycles be finished in Night Black & Alpine White III, equipped with ABS brakes, black fuel tank and frame, and law enforcement-style black saddlebags. Evaluation criteria include pricing, compliance with specifications, and potentially a local business preference of up to 5% or $5,000 of the total bid price, with the City reserving the right to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Bidders must register on the procurement website using commodity codes 07105 or 07156 and are required to provide a comprehensive unit cost including documentation fees, licenses, and associated expenses. The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, though local Thousand Oaks businesses may receive a slight bidding advantage. Each motorcycle must be new, in current production, and include a manufacturer's warranty of at least one year from City acceptance. The pricing proposal includes line items for the motorcycles, 7.25% sales tax, California tire fee, DMV fees for exempt plates, and delivery charges. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive specification document suggests a significant investment in specialized law enforcement equipment. Prospective bidders can contact Andrew Becker, Purchasing Supervisor (805-449-2203), or Chris Meske, Senior Purchasing Specialist (805-376-5090), for additional information about the solicitation.
