RFP No. 901438 - Prisoner Transport Trucks

INSTRUCTIONS: Bidders must submit, with their bid, a fully completed RevisedExhibit D – Large Truck SpecificationsResponse for Prisoner Transport Trucks. Bids which are submitted without the “Large Truck SpecificationsResponse” will be disqualified.

A “Yes” response to a requirement in the “Comply” column will mean that the bidder intends to comply with the exact specification, as described in the “Large Truck SpecificationsResponse.” If the bidder is able to comply with the specification stated, and states “Yes” in the “Comply” column, no further action is required. A “No” response to a specification sentence in the “Comply” column will mean that the bidder is unable to comply with the specification provided by the County.

If a bidder is unable to comply with specific requirements listed in RevisedExhibit D – Large Truck SpecificationsResponse, the bidder is to state “No” in the “Comply” column, and provide a brief explanation in the “Explanation” column. All exceptions, clarifications, and amendments pertaining to RevisedExhibit D shall be described in full, using additional pages, as necessary, to provide complete descriptions. Bidder must clearly reference each exception, clarification, or amendment by its corresponding item number (e.g., Item 1.a. – Specific Ratings, Rear Axle Ration: 5.22 ratio). The County, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to deem acceptable any exceptions, clarifications or amendments stated by the bidder.

A response of“N/A” or no response to any specification column will mean that the bidder is unable to comply with the specification provided by the County.

In the “Large Truck SpecificationsResponse,” references to specific brand names are intended to describe components that have been determined to best meet operational, performance, or reliability standards of the County, thereby incorporating these standards by reference within the specifications.

An “equivalent or better” may be offered by the bidder, subject to evaluation and acceptance by the County. It is the bidder’s responsibility to provide, at bidder’s expense samples, test data, or other documentation, which the County may require to fully evaluate and determine acceptability of an offered substitute.
