Police Vehicle

The City of Shelton is soliciting competitive bids under solicitation number 2027-13 for the procurement of a police vehicle for its Police Department. The primary specification is for one 2027 Ford Utility Interceptor with a V6 engine and all-wheel drive, though the City will consider proposed alternate vehicles. Bids must be submitted through the City e-Procurement Portal by 11:00 am on December 4, 2026. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible firm based on a combination of fee, experience, qualifications, and the ability to perform work safely and in accordance with applicable laws. The City reserves the right to award the contract to a single bidder or multiple bidders based on cost, availability, and product range. Successful bidders must provide both a performance bond and a payment bond and comply with various Connecticut General Statutes, including wage rates and subcontractor payment requirements, which mandate that subcontractors be paid within thirty days of the City's payment. The contractor must adhere to strict non-discrimination and affirmative action policies, including compliance with the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Additionally, bidders must submit a signed and notarized non-collusion affidavit and certify that they are not excluded or disqualified under federal regulations. All work is subject to inspection and acceptance by the City, and personnel assigned to the project site may be required to undergo background checks by the Shelton Police Department.
