Automotive, Truck & Equipment Batteries

The City of Dothan’s General Services Department issued a competitive sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid # 23‑039) for premium‑grade automotive, truck, and equipment batteries required for its municipal fleet. Six vendors submitted bids; the lowest bid (Interstate Batteries, $1,668.45) was rejected because it did not meet premium‑grade specifications.

The contract is a fixed‑price purchase of various battery group sizes, each priced per unit, with quantities specified for the fleet’s needs. No multi‑year or renewal language is present. The award was approved by the Purchasing Agent, Fleet Services Manager, and General Services Director. • Scope: Purchase of premium‑grade automotive batteries for city vehicles and equipment (multiple battery group sizes). • Awarded Vendor: Napa Auto Parts (award amount $1,721.20). • Procurement Method: Competitive sealed‑bid, full and open competition.
