Hybrid Vehicle - Cemetery Office

The Department of Accounting and General Services for the State of Hawaii is soliciting the procurement of one new 2025, 2026, or 2027 self-charging hybrid vehicle, such as a Prius Hybrid or equivalent, for the Cemetery Management Office. The vehicle must adhere to all federal, state, and local safety requirements and include specific features such as airbags for the driver and front passenger and a visible rear detection system with a backup camera. Comprehensive warranty coverage is required, including a 3-year or 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year unlimited-mile corrosion warranty, and an 8-year or 100,000-mile OEM electric systems warranty. Eligible contractors must provide several certifications, including a general excise tax license, a certificate of good standing from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and a certificate of compliance from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, all current within six months. Final payment is contingent upon tax clearance from the Hawaii Director of Taxation and the IRS, as well as the availability of funds. The contract is subject to the Uniform Information Practices Act and requires the contractor to maintain all necessary employee-related insurance, as they are not entitled to state-provided benefits. Performance will be coordinated by the head of the purchasing agency, and the state maintains the right to inspect work in progress to ensure compliance.
