Upfitting of Patrol Cars

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) is seeking quotations for upfitting seven police patrol vehicles, specifically one 2023 Dodge Charger and six 2024 Dodge Durango vehicles, located in Marion County. The procurement requires comprehensive vehicle equipment installation, including 911 circuits power distribution panels, Whelen siren speakers and lightbars, Gamber Johnson console kits, and related automotive law enforcement modifications. Vendors must submit their quotes through OregonBuys by March 26, 2024, with pricing to remain firm for 30 days following submission. The evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's experience, expertise, product functionality, and overall contractor responsibility, with DPSST reserving the right to award the contract to the quote that best serves the agency's interests. While specific brand names are listed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ), alternate products meeting or exceeding minimum requirements will be considered, providing some flexibility in equipment selection. DPSST will handle transportation for vehicles within Marion County, with vendors expected to include transportation costs if vehicles are located outside the county.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the RFQ documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of performing the specialized patrol vehicle upfitting services. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the contract seems focused on acquiring comprehensive automotive modification services for law enforcement vehicles. The RFQ does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, though the scope involves upfitting seven vehicles, which suggests a moderate-scale procurement. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to install complex law enforcement vehicle equipment, including electrical systems, emergency lighting, communication infrastructure, and interior modifications specific to police patrol requirements. Successful contractors must provide detailed quotes, demonstrate proficiency in automotive upfitting, and meet the technical specifications outlined in the solicitation.
