Helicopter Radio Parts and Service

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is soliciting quotations to establish a contract with a primary vendor for helicopter radio parts and services. The contract will be used to support the Sheriff's Aviation Unit, which requires constant repairs and adjustments to its aircraft avionics to remain in working order within Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines. The vendor will be required to provide parts and services, including installation and repair of specific avionics systems, such as Garmin G500, GTN750, and GTN650, as well as troubleshooting of FLIR and Aero computer mapping systems. The contract is estimated to be worth approximately $50,000 per year, and the vendor will be required to provide pricing that includes shipping and handling, delivery, fuel surcharges, and freight. • The contract will be awarded to the lowest and most responsible, responsive vendor. • A local preference program is in place, which may apply a 5% price preference to the total bid price during evaluation. • The vendor will be required to provide a signed written contract or purchase order before beginning work. • The contract will allow the Sheriff's Department to order parts and services on an as-needed basis, with no obligation to the County.
