King William County is soliciting competitive sealed bids for general automotive service support through Invitation for Bid #2017-002, targeting primarily the King William County Sheriff's Office and county departmental fleet. The procurement seeks a multi-vendor contract for automotive services including towing, brake and rotor replacement, tire repair/replacement/rotation/alignment, general engine repair, and oil/fluid changes. The initial contract term is one year, ending June 30, 2017, with an option to renew for an additional 12 months. Geographic preference will be given to vendors located within a 45-mile radius of the King William County Administration Building. Sealed bids are due on Monday, August 1, 2016, at 10:00 A.M., to be publicly opened and read in the Finance Department at 180 Horse Landing Road #4, King William, VA 23086.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, there is a clear geographic preference for local vendors proximate to King William County. The procurement appears to be structured as an open competitive bid without stringent vendor restrictions. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is mentioned. The multi-vendor approach suggests the county intends to establish a flexible service arrangement with multiple automotive service providers capable of supporting various fleet maintenance needs. The geographic proximity requirement indicates a strategic preference for responsive, local service providers who can quickly address the county's automotive maintenance and support requirements.
