About this opportunity

The City of Madison Police Department is seeking a qualified stable to provide horse boarding services for its Mounted Patrol horses through Request for Bids (RFB #13062-0-2024-BG). The procurement targets stables located within 25 miles of Madison city limits, capable of boarding 6-7 current city-owned horses with potential for expansion. Required facility specifications include a covered indoor arena (minimum 200'x100'), outdoor training spaces, grooming areas, 24/7 rough board facilities, a climate-controlled tack room, firearm training location, and classroom/meeting facilities. Staff must be on-site seven days per week to support the Mounted Patrol program. Bidders must submit an all-inclusive monthly boarding fee per horse and a separate monthly vehicle/trailer storage fee, with the ability to indicate their maximum horse accommodation capacity. The procurement timeline requires potential bidders to submit questions by June 25, 2024, with official answers posted on June 28, 2024, and final bids due on July 8, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT.

The RFB includes provisions for local vendor preference, with registered local suppliers potentially receiving scoring advantages. Contractors with 15 or more employees doing $50,000 or more in annual business with the City must submit affirmative action documentation. The bid requires submission of cost proposals, references, and various compliance forms. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the bid summary indicates a monthly boarding rate of $600 per horse and $50 per month for vehicle and trailer storage, with pricing structure allowing for 0% increase in 2026 and a 5% increase in 2027. The contract appears open to various stable operators who can meet the comprehensive facility and service requirements, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. The City reserves the right to evaluate bids and award the contract, which may include potential renewal options based on performance and continued need.
