Refinish Nine Ambulances

Greenville County, South Carolina, is soliciting sealed electronic proposals through RFP #22050 for refinishing nine ambulances. The project requires detrimming and repainting the ambulances from their current blue and green colors to white, with a specific requirement of completing one unit per week. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals that include company background, qualifications, references, and a proposed schedule. The evaluation will be based on five equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to the RFP, experience with similar projects, references, cost, and ability to meet scheduling specifications. The proposal submission deadline is February 22, 2022, at 3:00 pm through the county's online procurement portal, with inquiries accepted until February 11, 2022, at 5:00 pm EST. The county plans to review proposals from February 22 to March 1, 2022, with contract award anticipated on March 1, 2022, and a notice to proceed expected by March 15, 2022. Vendors will also be responsible for coordinating with Sticky Graphix to install graphics on each ambulance after refinishing.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements for the contract include $1,000,000 in Comprehensive General Liability coverage, $1,000,000 in Automobile Liability coverage, and Statutory Worker's Compensation, with Greenville County to be named as an additional insured. The contract period is 90 days from the Notice to Proceed, with the option to extend for up to four additional one-year terms. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documents, the project involves refinishing nine ambulances with specific technical requirements. The sample contract indicates that payment will be made upon receipt of invoices, with undisputed amounts due within 30 days. Notably, the project requires no body work, and refinishing is not needed on the hood, front wall, or roof of the ambulances, which may impact the overall project scope and potential costs.
