The Enid Police Department in Garfield County, Oklahoma, is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of five new 2025 Ford Utility AWD Pursuit Vehicles through a competitive bidding process. The solicitation requires white 2025 Ford AWD Explorers that meet specific manufacturer and law enforcement equipment standards, including a 3.3L TI-VCT V6 FFV Engine, Ford Sync Blue Tooth, and heated mirrors. Extensive police-specific upfitting is mandatory, encompassing SoundOff Mpower 48 lightbars, Code 3 warning lights, radio equipment, console installations, and various other law enforcement modifications. The upfitter must complete each vehicle within 20 working days (30 days if all vehicles are delivered in the same week), with a $150 per unit per working day penalty for delays.

The procurement requires bidders to submit several mandatory affidavits, including a Business Relationship Affidavit, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and Energy Discrimination Elimination Act Boycott Affidavit, all of which must be notarized. The upfitter must provide a $15,000,000 blanket liability insurance policy and be an authorized distributor of all brands/items in the bid. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the bidder must submit five professional references and deliver vehicles via insured transport. Subcontracting is prohibited, and the city reserves the right to terminate the contract for cause or reject any and all bids. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive upfitting requirements and specific vehicle specifications suggest a significant investment in modernizing the Enid Police Department's vehicle fleet. All bids must be F.O.B. Enid, Oklahoma, with state, local, and federal taxes excluded from the pricing.
