Light, Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicle Body and Repair Services

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is soliciting bids for solicitation number 120591 to provide comprehensive body repair services for a diverse fleet of over 1,100 vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, vans, and various heavy-duty trucks from manufacturers such as Ford, International, and Freightliner. The scope of work covers light to heavy-duty automobiles, construction equipment, and trailers with Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings between 6,000 and 33,001 lbs. Required services include collision and general damage repair, fabrication, modification, accessory installation, and mechanical repairs to engines, transmissions, brakes, and frameworks. A critical requirement is the ability to perform Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) inspections for medium and heavy-duty trucks in-house, as third-party inspections are prohibited. The contract consists of a one-year base term with four optional one-year extensions. WSSC intends to make multiple awards to ensure operational flexibility, selecting a primary supplier based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with secondary, tertiary, and quaternary suppliers selected in order of next lowest price. To qualify, bidders must have at least three years of experience in the field, an operational facility verified by a site visit, and at least one ASE or I-CAR certified technician. Bidders must also provide a secure storage lot with a minimum six-foot fence and 24-hour lighting. Evaluation may also consider prompt payment discounts of 15 days or more and participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) or Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE). All work must adhere to OEM and industry standards, and the contract is governed by WSSC Procurement Regulations and the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause.
