1

RESPONSIBILITY OF BIDDEREach Bidder must provide at the time of the bid opening a complete set of specifications with drawings for the apparatus submitted in the bid.

The truck must be NEW AND WARRANTED. Demo units that have never been titled will be considered new.

The apparatus must meet or exceed the department’s specifications. Bidder must state the brand of any item provided for evaluation by the Bidder. For the purposes of this specification brand and/or manufacturer names are used as a point of reference and do not preclude any manufacturer from submitting a proposal. If an equivalent product is offered in this proposal a comparison of the referenced item should be included.

A full word for word written description and product literature shall be included for any exception listed. Buyer will evaluate all bids received for all variations and exceptions to these specifications. Each exception shall be considered by the degree of impact and total effect on the bid. Buyer will determine which, if any, exceptions are acceptable and this determination shall be final. Buyer reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Failure to explain bid exceptions will result in disqualification of the bid.

The proposed apparatus shall meet or exceed all applicable requirements of the latest edition of NFPA 1901 standards and any and all Federal Regulations in effect at the date required for the submittal of the bid proposal.

The apparatus shall be thoroughly tested by a certified, independent Third Party Testing Organization such as Underwriters Laboratories, in accordance with the appropriate requirements of the latest edition of NFPA, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus. Written confirmation of Third Party Testing must be supplied with truck before acceptance of delivery.

Bidder must assure that any bid will be good and may not be withdrawn for a period of 60 calendar days from the date of the bid opening. No bid will be considered which requires the buyer to deposit with the bidder a down payment, prepayment of chassis, or any other such consideration as a condition of the bid. Such a requirement shall be grounds for rejection of the bid.

Terms for delivery of apparatus must be clearly stated on the bid form. Apparatus must be delivered within 200 days of signed contract. The buyer may elect to award the contract based on delivery as well as price and conformance with the specifications. Should the bidder be unable to comply with the proposed delivery date, the purchasing director shall be notified immediately with the reasons for non-compliance. Failure to meet the stated delivery will result in enforcement of FEMA’s $100 per day late penalty clause.

Bids submitted shall include prepaid delivery. The vehicle shall be delivered under its own power. Rail or freight shipment will not be acceptable. A factory trained representative shall deliver the unit.

The successful bidder shall provide a minimum four (4) hour structured training course to operate the apparatus, covering nomenclature of components, proper operation of the apparatus, daily operational maintenance checks, and other information necessary for a firefighter/driver/engineer to properly operate and maintain the apparatus. The firefighter/operator training shall be conducted within one week after the vehicle is fully accepted and readied for service by the Department or at a time mutually agreed upon by the Department and the Bidder.

The responsibility for the apparatus and equipment remains with the manufacturer until satisfactory completion of the acceptance test and the formal acceptance of the apparatus is made.

As "the entity having jurisdiction" as defined by NFPA 1071, the buyer requires that all bidders be capable of providing both in-house and on-site service for the apparatus proposed through the use of either an established emergency vehicle service center or a mobile technician. The bidder shall have full time EVT certified maintenance technicians in compliance with NFPA 1071 classifications F-2 through F-6 on staff to provide service. On-site service shall be the primary mode of maintenance and warranty repair to eliminate the requirement of transporting the vehicle outside the fire department jurisdiction.

This specification makes reference to various warranties which are the minimum acceptable in each case. Each bidder shall include reference which acknowledges each warranty. Bidders must include copies of each warranty that is provided directly by the apparatus manufacturer.

RESPONSIBILITY OF DEPARTMENTThe Department reserves the right to reject any and all bids with or without cause.

2

PERFORMANCE BOND(Wording from 2012 Assistance to Firefighter Grant program guidance)1. If a down payment or any advance funds from the Department is required, then FEMA requires manufacturer’s to

provide a bond from an independent bank, insurance company or bonding agency so that the vehicle grantees can recover damages they may sustain if the manufacturer defaults during the construction of a vehicle.

2. The amount of the bond shall be equal to or greater than, the sum of any payments, compensation and or consideration provided prior to the delivery of the vehicle. For the purpose of this bid proposal, a performance bond equal to the amount of the down payment plus 5% of the remaining amount due will be required.

3. Contracts that do not require any pre-payments do not require a performance bond, since the department’s risk is zero. So in lieu of the bond, the following clauses need to be added to the contract.

a. “Zero-dollars-down” means that neither the grantee nor the Federal government funds will be used to pay any money to the manufacturer until the vehicle is delivered (100% payment upon delivery). The manufacturer will carry 100% of the risk until delivery.

b. The contract will have a specific delivery-date for the vehicle-not to exceed the period of performance (one year from the original award date).

c. Non-delivery by the contract’s guaranteed date will require a penalty for n on-performance that is no less than $100 per day until the manufacturer can deliver the vehicle to the grantee. Delivery is not acceptable unless the vehicle is “operational” and “functioning” as specified when delivered.

4. A copy of the purchase contract must be provided to FEMA so they can verify these clauses. The original performance bond must be provided to the Buyer within 30 days of the signed contract. Failure to provide this documentation will result in the contract being declared void.
