Statewide Response Team Vehicle Equipment Installation

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Criminal Investigations, is soliciting competitive sealed responses from qualified vendors to build out two new Ford F-550 4x4 Super Cab Chassis with refurbished non-walk-in investigations support units for the Statewide Response Team. The project requires full installation of specialized equipment including a 139-inch body length, 90-inch width, and 62-inch compartment height with 1/8-inch exterior sheeting, a minimum 6-kilowatt diesel generator fueled from the vehicle tank, a 3000-watt pure sine wave inverter with 125-amp charger, Super-LED takedown and alley lights, a permanent light bar mounting kit, and an eight-piece roadside emergency safety kit. All equipment must be installed in identical locations and programmed identically across both vehicles to ensure fleet standardization, and all components must meet or exceed national safety and emergency response standards while avoiding airbag deployment zones. The work is governed by a fixed-rate contract structured around two pricing tables in Attachment 3: Table A requires detailed unit costs for 83 line items covering refurbishment of one vehicle inclusive of time and materials, and Table B requires a separate hourly rate for additional services not covered in Table A. The solicitation, identified as 2526-04 RFP CI under NAICS code 25101702, is administered through the Vendor Information Portal and requires responses to be submitted in three volumes: Volume 1 contains general information including a cover letter and Award Preferences Form, Volume 2 contains the technical narrative of prior relevant experience (the only volume scored), and Volume 3 includes mandatory certifications including Attachment 6, the Vendor Certification Form, and the completed Price Response. All submissions must be delivered in sealed packages to the designated Tallahassee address by the revised deadline of July 17, 2026, following a mandatory pre-response conference on June 24, 2026, and with both printed and electronic copies formatted as unredacted, unencrypted PDFs on flash drives with all metadata removed. Evaluation is based on a 280-point system—180 points for technical response evaluated by a team of at least three reviewers using Appendix C criteria, and 100 points for price scored as a percentage of the lowest responsive bid. Award will be made to the offeror with the highest total score, deemed most advantageous to the state. The contract
