Evaluation of Proposals

The City will review all submitted proposals and other relevant information (cost, best

value for the municipality, subjective considerations) regarding the products which the

City wishes to purchase. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any response for

any or no reason and to waive any minor irregularity if determined to be in the best interest

of the City of Greenville. Individuals or companies submitting paperwork as part of the

proposal selection process understand, by their submission, the above evaluation

process.

Furthermore, the city reserves the right to reduce the number of purchasable items on the

RFP specification list, after the proposal opening, to decrease the final cost if needed to

meet specific financial needs for the project.

Companies are permitted and encouraged to submit multiple proposals for this project,

as the City is open to reviewing all concepts, but each proposal submitted must have a

separate Response Sheet attached to the proposal documentation.

Selection of Proposals

Once the appropriate proposal is selected, it will be presented to the City Council for

approval. Upon vendor and proposal approval, the selected vendor will receive a “Notice

of Award” and the opportunity to review the plan of execution for the project with City

officials.

The “Total Amount Proposed” cost will be valid for a minimum of 60 days after the posted

RFP opening date and prospective vendors will be held to the price presented.

Scope of Work

The City of Greenville will accept proposals for all equipment needed to meet the needs

of replacing an aerial apparatus electrical generator and any ancillary equipment. This

includes, but is not limited to the following:

Electrical power unit

Replacement and updating of current lighting on the apparatus, if necessary

Certification of the current electrical wiring will support the proposed system, or

proposed method/cost to update the electrical wiring.

Certification of the current alternator system and aerial apparatus systems will

support the proposal, or proposed method/cost to update the electrical system.

Request For Proposals

Any other updates to the apparatus required to ensure the electrical power unit,

lighting system, wiring, and electrical components work within the proposal

presented.

No sales tax may be added to the proposal price, as the City of Greenville is sales tax

exempt.

The total project costs encompass the entire project, including any travel of employees,

transportation of the vehicle from the department to the worksite and return (if applicable),

costs of shipping or transportation of any parts or equipment for the proposal, and any

incidental costs. The final proposed cost is the total amount to be paid for the

project. Cost overruns are the responsibility of the company being provided with the

opportunity to complete the project.

The proposal must include all labor for this proposal project and consideration; incidentals

must be submitted and explained as part of the proposal.

If approved, the project will not commence until after July 1, 2026.

Request For Proposals

SPECIFICATION OUTLAY

Proposed electrical unit (examples): hydraulic generator, inverter generator, or other

power source, able to be installed in the same location as the current power unit on the

apparatus.

• Activation of the unit must occur through an activation switch, preferably on the

toggle switch area on the interior driver’s side of the vehicle.

Replacement of current lighting on the unit – four lamps (two on the bucket, and two on

the sides of the apparatus) – to effectively function with the proposed electrical unit

selected, if alternative light sources are necessary.

Certification of the current electrical wiring will support the proposed system, or proposed

method/cost to update the electrical wiring.

• The wiring is currently connected to a fuse panel located in the first compartment

of the vehicle (next to the pump panel). The proposal must explain why the

replacement system would not utilize this panel, if necessary.

Certification of the current alternator system and aerial apparatus systems will support

the proposed electrical unit and lighting method offered, unless the proposal specifies an

upgrade of alternator or electrical functions for the apparatus.

Any other additional equipment needed for the project must be outlined as to the necessity

related to the success of the project.
