6 Ea. Large or Mid-Size Sedans

This contract stems from Sedgwick County’s Request for Bid #22‑0055, seeking six (later increased to ten) new large or mid‑size 4‑door sedans for the County Sheriff’s Office fleet. After multiple revisions and an exigency driven by two police vehicles being lost, the County awarded a $273,000 contract to Whiteside of St. Clairsville, Inc. for 2023 Chevrolet Malibu LS sedans. The procurement required factory‑installed vehicles meeting specific engine, safety, and equipment standards, with delivery to the County’s Fleet Management location in Wichita. The award was made under a full and open competition process, and the contract is a unit‑price purchase (price per vehicle). • Scope: Purchase of 10 (originally 6) 2023 Chevrolet Malibu LS sedans, to be equipped with lights and sirens for law‑enforcement use. • Value: $27,300 per vehicle; total contract amount $273,000. • Process: RFB issued June 15 2022; bid deadline June 28 2022; award approved July 27 2022 after an exigency amendment.
