DPW Reg. Cab Pick Up Truck (F350) Upfitting

The Equipment Leasing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh is soliciting bids to upfit fifteen Ford F-350 pickup trucks with complete snow plow and hydraulic V-box spreader systems, delivering fully operational, turnkey vehicles ready for immediate service. The work includes integrating PTO-driven hydraulics using OEM upfitter switches, installing City-supplied GPS and telematics systems with proximity sensors for real-time plow and spreader status tracking, adding LED lighting and backup alarms, modifying the center console to accommodate radio and controller mounts, and removing the center seat to make way for a custom-built console. All systems must be fully tested and operational upon delivery, with no exposed wiring, and must meet strict City of Pittsburgh fleet standards. The contract requires use of North American-manufactured components and compliance with Attachment A (Truck Specifications) and Attachment B (F-350 Upfit Specifications), and any deviation from specifications must be pre-approved in writing. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination to the City’s Fleet Services garage at 90 Eazor Sq., Pittsburgh, PA, with final acceptance occurring on-site after successful functional inspection. The solicitation, identified as 2026-ECOOP-083, has a submission deadline of May 28, 2026, and requires electronic proposals via the ProcureNow portal only, with no mail, email, or courier submissions accepted. The total estimated contract value is $769,275, derived from a base vehicle cost of $50,070 per truck, supplemented by optional equipment including dual alternators, trailer brake controllers, running boards, bedliners, and wheel well liners—all calculated over 15 units and net of a $157,950 discount via the Costar cooperative contract. Invoicing must reference the ELA Purchase Order number, provide a line-item breakdown of labor and parts, and exclude vendor-preprinted terms. Final deliverables must include comprehensive documentation: electrical schematics, hydraulic system details, GPS integration records, and operator manuals. The City reserves the right to reject any unit that fails inspection due to non-conformance, poor workmanship, or incomplete documentation. Payment will be processed by the Equipment Leasing Authority at 414 Grant St., Suite 502, Pittsburgh, PA, after delivery and acceptance. No federal FAR clauses apply; the solicitation follows municipal procurement standards with no requirement for UEI, CAGE code, or
