Refinish Nine Ambulances

Greenville County is soliciting sealed electronic proposals through RFP #22050 for refinishing nine ambulances, with proposals to be submitted via the county's online procurement portal by Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at 3:00 pm. The project requires a vendor to detrim and repaint the ambulances from their current blue and green colors to white, with a schedule of one ambulance refinished per week. The vendor will coordinate with Sticky Graphix for post-refinishing graphic installation. Evaluation criteria include five equally weighted factors: responsiveness to the RFP, experience with similar projects, references, cost, and ability to meet scheduling specifications. Key deadlines include a Friday, February 11, 2022, 5:00 pm EST deadline for submitting inquiries, with all answers to be posted on the procurement portal, and a proposal review period from March 28 to April 5, 2022, with a tentative award date of April 5, 2022.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating the contractor maintain $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate comprehensive general liability insurance, $1,000,000 automobile liability insurance, and statutory worker's compensation coverage. The contractor must also comply with various regulations including the Illegal Immigration Reform Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Prison Rape Elimination Act. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the pricing proposal includes line items for materials, labor, and 6% sales tax, with nine units specified for each line item. The procurement will result in a purchase order to be issued on April 19, 2022, for the complete refinishing of the nine ambulances, with the successful vendor expected to demonstrate technical capability and efficient project execution.
