Request for Bids for Police Vehicles.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Office has issued a request for bids to acquire two 2026 vehicles, including a police package Dodge Durango SUV, a RAM 1500 SSV Crew Cab 4x4, a Ford Interceptor Utility, and a Chevrolet Silverado PPV. Bidders are instructed to submit their comprehensive bids, which must include all associated fees, licensing, and dealer charges, with the total “drive away” cost. The deadline for submission is November 10, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., with bids accepted via U.S. Mail, email, or hand delivery, and clearly marked as "Squad Bids." The County emphasizes its right to accept or reject any or all bids, or portions thereof, and may opt to purchase through the State of Wisconsin Cooperative Purchasing Program if deemed advantageous. The specifications for these vehicles are detailed in accompanying documents that outline the technical requirements, including engine types, vehicle packages, colors, seating, and law enforcement-specific features such as LED lighting, skid plates, and police equipment packages. The procurement process is overseen by Sheriff Clay J. Porter, with primary contact being Jason Marshall, reachable by email or phone. The contract size is estimated to range between $100,000 and $150,000, and the solicitation is part of the county’s efforts to ensure the acquisition of vehicles tailored for law enforcement operations, with consideration given to government incentives and fleet purchase programs.
