SUMMARY:
Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 18-24 was issued January 2024 for Vehicle Upfitting Services. Upfit services consist of fabrication and/or installation of various equipment and accessories in city vehicles. These items include, but are not limited to: lighting, consoles, controllers, brackets, outlets, tool holders, pipe racks, pipe tie-down systems, water cooler holders, and vise grips. Enforcement One was the only bidder to respond to ITB 18-24. Enforcement One is the current vendor for vehicle upfitting, which resulted from a prior invitation to bid. The primary use of this contract is for new vehicle upfits, with the occasional existing fleet vehicles requiring modifications. The contract will be utilized citywide on an as-needed basis by all departments with the exception of Police who have a separate upfitting contract (also with Enforcement One), awarded as a result of ITB 46-22. Each department will be responsible to budget the funds necessary for their upfitting.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Departments with authorized vehicle purchases have funds budgeted for upfitting services.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
These purchases help accomplish strategic objective 1.2. Fleet division operators maintain public infrastructure to deliver effective and efficient services by optimizing City assets and resources.
