Purchase of ambulance

The Town of Douglas, Massachusetts is seeking to procure one new Type 1 ambulance, associated equipment, and applicable warranties through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) process. The ambulance must meet specific requirements, including conformance to the KKK-1822-F Standard, a gasoline-powered engine, heavy-duty suspension, a power-assisted loading system, and various emergency and scene lighting features. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest net price, after factoring in the trade-in value of the Town's existing 2011 ambulance. Bidders must acknowledge amendments to the requirements, including a 120-day maximum delivery timeline and the requirement to reflect the trade-in value in the final bid price. The bid deadline has been extended to June 18, 2019, and bidders will be allowed to view the trade-in vehicle until June 11, 2019.

The Town of Douglas is an equal opportunity employer and is seeking a complete package purchase, including the ambulance, associated equipment, and applicable warranties. Bidders must provide their final bid price net of the trade-in value, and the Town will not consider any bids that do not reflect this requirement. The contract will be subject to Massachusetts procurement laws, including requirements for tax compliance, non-collusion, and non-discrimination. The Town has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided on the possible award value or budget range.
