IWQ 125539 Purchase and Installation of Evidence Lockers

Gwinnett County, Georgia is issuing Informal Written Quote (IWQ #125539) to solicit competitive bids for the purchase and installation of evidence lockers at three Department of Police Services precincts located in Lilburn, Duluth, and Norcross. The procurement requires vendors to supply and install pass-thru style metal lockers with keyless lift latch locking mechanisms, including removal of existing equipment and complete installation services at each location. Specific equipment configurations for the South and Central Precincts include 8-door and 15-door units, 6-door units, bases, trim, and end panels, while the West Precinct requires 8-door, 15-door, and multiple 2-door and 8-door units. Vendors must conduct pre-installation site visits, measuring, and site preparation work, with pricing submitted as lump sum fees for each precinct location that include all costs for purchase, delivery, installation, and removal of existing equipment. A mandatory pre-quote conference and facility tour is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on April 20, 2026, at the West Precinct, with questions due by 3:00 p.m. on April 21, 2026, and quotes due by 3:00 p.m. on April 27, 2026, via email, fax, or hand delivery. Qualified vendors must provide three references demonstrating similar project experience, complete the Contractor Affidavit and Agreement confirming E-Verify participation, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability with a $2,000,000 general aggregate, automobile liability with $1,000,000 combined single limits, workers' compensation per Georgia statutory requirements, and umbrella/excess liability coverage commensurate with contract value, with insurance carriers authorized in Georgia and rated A-10 or higher by A.M. Best. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the County reserving the right to reject any or all quotes, waive technicalities, and negotiate terms at its discretion.

The solicitation document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular business categories or disadvantaged enterprises, indicating the procurement is open to all qualified vendors meeting the stated requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The scope of work requires integration with existing facility infrastructure at three separate police precinct locations, necessitating coordination with the department liaison for delivery scheduling outside standard 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday timeframes. The specific award value or budget range for this procurement is not disclosed in the solicitation materials, though the lump sum pricing structure for each of the three precincts suggests the total contract value may be split across multiple location awards at the County's discretion.
