The Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is seeking qualified vendors to construct and deliver a mobile DMV office through Request for Proposal RFP24003924. The procurement aims to acquire a custom mobile vehicle capable of being driven to various sites throughout Rhode Island to provide identical DMV services currently available at fixed branch offices. Vendors must deliver a fully functional mobile office unit that can operate as a complete DMV service center, with the expected delivery date of June 30, 2024. The initial contract period will span approximately 9 months, beginning in March 2024, with potential contract renewals to facilitate complete unit delivery. Proposal submissions are due by March 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM EDT, with a vendor question and answer period running from February 23 to February 29, 2024. Evaluation criteria will include technical merit, cost proposal assessment, and ISBE (Minority, Women, and Disability Business Enterprise) participation rates. Vendors must submit separate technical, cost, and ISBE participation proposals electronically through the Ocean State Procures system.

The RFP strongly encourages participation from minority-owned businesses (MBEs), women-owned businesses (WBEs), and disability business enterprises (DisBEs), with vendors receiving evaluation points based on their proposed ISBE utilization rates. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating $1,000,000 per occurrence in liability coverage, workers compensation coverage, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and $2,000,000 in professional liability coverage. Delivery is specified as Free On Board Destination to the DMV facility located at 600 New London Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. While the RFP does not specify a precise contract value, it emphasizes that funding is contingent on the availability of appropriated funds. The state reserves the right to award the contract to the vendor deemed most qualified to provide the requested goods and services, with the potential to award to a single prime vendor or multiple vendors across various categories. Proposals will be evaluated holistically, considering technical qualifications, cost efficiency, and commitment to inclusive business practices.
