Pre-Advertising Notice - DPW- AFRD Vehicle Repairs

The City of Atlanta, through its Department of Public Works (DPW) and Atlanta Fire Rescue Department (AFRD), is initiating a prequalification process to procure vehicle maintenance and repair services for approximately 300 firefighting and public safety vehicles. The procurement will cover comprehensive vehicle diagnostics, preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and parts replacement for a diverse fleet including fire engines, ladder trucks, rescue units, and support vehicles manufactured by various brands such as Rosenbauer, Pierce, Spartan, and others. Vendors must comply with NFPA 1911 standards and maintain factory-authorized service centers within 175 miles of downtown Atlanta, with service hours operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and provide 24/7 emergency roadside repair services. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate capabilities across six equipment groups: Fire Apparatus Pumpers, Fire Apparatus Ladders, AARF Units, Hazmat Trucks, Command Units, and Administrative Vehicles. The pre-qualification process will be followed by a Pre-Solicitation Conference, with proposals due by December 31, 2025, and interested vendors must provide detailed service capabilities, certifications, and meet stringent equipment and response time standards.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the documents, vendors must meet comprehensive technical and operational requirements to qualify. Service providers will be required to establish separate billing accounts, accept Purchase Orders as the sole payment method, and provide detailed invoicing with equipment information, labor rates, and manufacturer documentation. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to supply replacement parts that meet or exceed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications and provide comprehensive warranty documentation for services, parts, and repairs. Although no specific award value or budget range was disclosed, the scope suggests a significant multi-vendor contract covering extensive vehicle maintenance services for the City of Atlanta's emergency and public safety fleet. Successful vendors will be expected to integrate with the City's existing fleet management systems, provide automated vehicle status reports, and maintain strict compliance with national safety and maintenance standards.
