Description

The purpose of this Request for Bids (RFB) is to solicit bids from qualified providers to provide the goods and/or services

described further in this RFB to the Lead Agency and any Participating Agencies. The Lead Agency intends to award a

contract(s) beginning and ending on the dates listed in the solicitation, and the Lead Agency may extend the contract(s) for

up to the number of annual extensions identified in the solicitation at the sole discretion of the Lead Agency. Any

contract(s) resulting from the RFB shall not be an exclusive contract.

This RFB is designed to provide Bidders with the information necessary for the preparation of competitive Bids. The RFB

process is for the Lead Agency’s and Participating Agencies’ benefit and is intended to provide the Lead Agency with

competitive information to assist in the selection process. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Each Bidder is

responsible for determining all factors necessary for the submission of a comprehensive Bid.

It is advised to "Save Progress" often and especially after uploading documents.

NOTE: Anytime the Bidder opens their bid after the initial submission, they MUST certify and resubmit. No

information will be lost from the initial submission.

NOTE: Bidder must approve and resubmit their bid after an amendment has been posted by the Issuing Officer. If

the bid was submitted before the amendment, all information will be saved. The Bidder only needs to read and

acknowledge the amendment.

Instructions for Amendments: Answer the newly posted question in the Questions Section, and CERTIFY and SUBMIT

your bid again (if previously submitted).

The Iowa Depart of Public Safety is requesting bids for an Active Threat Response Modular Training System. The system

must be durable and versatile to better simulate real-world situations and offer flexibility in different training scenarios.

Specifications:

• Lightweight – preferably not to exceed 75 pounds per panel with carry handles built in.

• Tool-free assembly- the panels shall be able to be connected and secured without bolts and tools.

• Adjustable to various terrains – the panels shall be able to be connected on uneven surfaces.

• Weatherproof – the panels shall be able to withstand the challenging weather conditions without impacting the integrity of

the material.

• Doors/Windows – the bid shall include approximately 200 panels with operational doors and windows. The

doors/windows should also be constructed to withstand forcible breaching with commercial grade hardware. Please

specify quantities of doors and windows in the bid.

• The mounting/connecting hardware shall not allow a visible gap between the panels which would allow an unrealistic

training setting, allowing students to see into the area they are clearing.

• Durable – the panels shall be constructed of material that is highly modular but strong enough to allow for repeated

marking cartridge impacts from handgun and rifle platforms. The clean-up of such impacts is easily accomplished with a

clean cloth.

• Height – the height of the wall panels shall not be less than 6.5 feet, (78 inches) and no more than 8 feet, (96 inches).

The result of this bid will be a purchase order.

debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions by a Federal Agency or State Agency; (b) have within a five year period

commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; (c) are presently

state agency must register, collect, and remit Iowa sales tax and Iowa use tax levied under Iowa Code chapter 423 on all sales of tangible personal property

and enumerated services. The Act also requires Bidders to certify their compliance with sales tax registration, collection, and remission requirements and

provides potential consequences if the certification is false or fraudulent.

By submitting a Bid in response to the (RFB), the Bidder certifies the following:

• Bidder is registered with the Iowa Department of Revenue, collects, and remits Iowa sales and use taxes as required by Iowa Code chapter

423; OR

• Bidder is not a “retailer” or a “retailer maintaining a place of business in this state” as those terms are defined in Iowa Code subsections 423.1(47)

and (48).

Bidder also acknowledges that the Agency may declare the Bidder’s Bid or resulting contract void if the above certification is false. The Bidder also

understands that fraudulent certification may result in the Agency or its representative filing for damages for breach of contract in additional to other

remedies available to Agency.
