2025 RFB-03 Vehicle Upfit & Installation

This contract is a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by Benton County Government to procure complete up‑fit and installation services for eight Chevrolet Tahoe police pursuit vehicles. The scope includes a wide array of specialized equipment—lighting, sirens, interior partitions, body‑cameras, consoles, gun mounts, laptops, printers, and additional accessories—as well as on‑site installation by certified technicians and a one‑year warranty service. The county required both a hard‑copy sealed envelope and an electronic copy on a USB flash drive, with a submission deadline of 2 pm CST on 22 Jan 2025. The contract was ultimately awarded to Superior Fleet & Upfit, though no award date or monetary value was disclosed. • Up‑fit items are fully itemized with part numbers; many are “no‑substitution” (e.g., Whelen lighting, Havis consoles, WatchGuard/Motorola body‑cameras, Black‑Rac gun mounts). • Installation must be performed in‑house in Bentonville, Arkansas, at a rate of roughly two vehicles per week, with first‑year labor covered under warranty. • The solicitation encourages participation from small, minority‑ and women‑owned businesses but does not reserve the award exclusively for them. • Bids must include a sealed hard‑copy envelope plus a USB drive; evaluation will consider experience, capacity, past performance, and local proximity.
