Hail Damaged Vehicle Repair x 8
The USFS Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Lakewood, Colorado recently sustained extensive hail damage to 8 of their Government fleet vehicles during the massive hail storm on June 16th.
The Government intends to utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures to solicit and award a purchase order for this procurement. Due to the lateness in the fiscal year, the requirement to quickly get the vehicles back into full service, and the simple commercial nature of these repairs, this will be a shortened solicitation in accordance with FAR 5.203. and a fast moving project. Currently, this is not a complete solicitation, but will be amended in the coming week to add the missing items.
A pre-bid inspection has been tentatively scheduled for:
- Saturday, Aug 26th - 0900 - 1200
- Location: ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGIONAL OFFICE. 1617 COLE BLVD, LAKEWOOD CO 80401 - Northeast corner of the parking lot.
- More details to follow.
Statement of Work: Professional auto-body repair - maximum use of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and conventional auto-body repair to restore vehicles to pre-loss condition in a timely manner. The broken glass has already been repaired under a separate action. There is no set period of performance, but we will favor a vendor who can immediately start on at least some of the vehicles and complete all of them soon. Some vehicles are slated for Law Enforcement duties and need to be repaired before sending them in for getting outfitted, so those will be a priority.
Evaluation Factors:This procurement will be a awarded on a lowest price (price and price related factors) technically acceptable basis (certification, past performance, schedule) most advantageous to the Government. Due to the logistical challenges and resources required to deliver and pick-up vehicles from the repair facility, our preference will be for a vendor who is able and willing to ferry the vehicles back and forth.
