Law Enforcement Police Pursuit Vehicles (PPVs)

Waukesha County is seeking to procure fourteen (14) Law Enforcement Police Pursuit Vehicles (PPVs), specifically thirteen (13) 2-wheel drive and one (1) 4-wheel drive Chevrolet Tahoes, through a competitive bid process (Bid No. 2025041). The procurement is targeting vehicles to be delivered in calendar year 2026, with bids due by October 14, 2025, at 10:30 am CDT/CST through the county's Bonfire Purchasing Portal. Bidders must be authorized Chevrolet Tahoe distributors and will be evaluated based on the lowest responsible and responsive bid that fully complies with all specifications. Key evaluation criteria include complete compliance with bid requirements, proof of financial stability, and demonstrated experience in vehicle procurement. All bid submissions must include electronically or manually signed documents, and vendors are responsible for monitoring the portal for potential amendments. The contract may be subject to two one-year extensions if mutually agreeable to the County and the Contractor, with the initial term set to expire on December 31st of the award year.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered to do business in Wisconsin and may be required to provide documentation of their authorization to distribute Chevrolet Tahoes. The bid offers cooperative purchasing options for other Wisconsin local government units, though participation is optional. Payment will be processed within 30 days of goods acceptance, with a preference for P-Card (VISA) transactions, and vendors are expected to include all associated fees in their pricing. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, award separately or in aggregate, and order within 10% more or less of the specified quantities. The contract's continuation is contingent upon annual fund appropriation by the Waukesha County Board of Supervisors, and the county maintains the right to cancel the contract with 30 days' notice.
