Re-bid Police Cargo Van

The City of San Bernardino Police Department is soliciting price quotes from qualified vendors to supply a 2024 Ford Transit Cargo Van that meets specific specifications. The vehicle must be a high-roof, white-colored cargo van with an 81-inch interior height, approximately 22 feet in length, and equipped with a V6 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, and a limited-slip rear differential. Additional features include power-adjustable mirrors, power windows for both driver and passenger, a backup camera, rear air conditioning with forward controls, and non-slip flooring in the cargo area. The proposal should also include the cost of an extended bumper-to-bumper warranty covering five years or 100,000 miles, or the most comparable warranty available. Vendors are expected to deliver the vehicle within 30 days of receiving it from the manufacturer. The contract, with a value estimated between $45,000 and $60,000, is part of a solicitation process under the RFQ F-24-4010, posted in July 2024, with a deadline for responses set for August 1, 2024. The procurement is managed by the City of San Bernardino, California, and the primary contact for inquiries is Michelle Parra. The process emphasizes compliance with the city's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals, requiring contractors to complete related questionnaires to demonstrate efforts toward DBE participation across categories such as minorities, women, service-disabled veterans, and LGBTQ. The contract aims to fulfill the department’s transportation needs while ensuring adherence to local procurement policies and diversity participation requirements.
