Two (2) New/Unused 2025 Dodge Durangos

The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department is seeking competitive bids for two (2) new/unused 2025 Dodge Durango Pursuit AWD vehicles through a fully electronic solicitation. The procurement specifically requires vehicles with a 5.7L V8 HEMI engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, black cloth bucket seats, and numerous law enforcement-specific features including ballistic door panels, LED spot lamps, and fleet-alike keys. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the County's online bidding system by August 29, 2025, at 4:00 pm, with all questions and requests for interpretations due by August 12, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The vehicles must be delivered within 90 calendar days of contract execution to the OC Public Work/OC Fleet Services location in Santa Ana, California. Comprehensive warranty coverage is required, including a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, 5-year/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty, and 5 years of roadside assistance. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-fee arrangement, with pricing to include vehicles, extra keys, California sales tax, destination/transportation fees, and California tire fees.

The solicitation offers a 5% preference for Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) bidders, with the potential for an 8% preference if a vendor is certified in both categories. Bidders must provide comprehensive company information, references, and complete various certification forms, including a Debarment Certification and Campaign Contribution Disclosure. The procurement is subject to federal grant fund regulations, which impose additional compliance and reporting obligations on the successful bidder. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract involves the purchase of two pursuit-model vehicles with associated fees and taxes. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the precise vehicle specifications and governmental contracting requirements. The bid will remain valid for 365 days after the closing date, and the County requires performance and labor/material payment bonds to ensure contractual compliance and financial protection.
