The bid price must remain valid for a period of Ninty (90) days from the date of bid opening.
TWO (2) complete sets of bid documentation must be submitted with the bid, one marked "Original" and one marked
"Copy".
The "Bidder" is hereinafter defined as the ambulance manufacturer and/or it's authorized Representative/Dealer.
PURCHASER'S INTENT
The intent of the specifications supplied herein is to purchase an ambulance with the highest level of
quality and engineering excellence. The intent of this vehicle is centered on the patient's need for pre-
hospital care, in conjunction with a safe working environment for the Emergency Medical Personnel.
BIDDER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Bidders shall thoroughly examine all drawings, specifications, schedules, instructions and any other
documents supplied as part of this invitation to bid and shall make all investigations necessary to
thoroughly inform themselves regarding the content of the written specifications, drawings, and
instructions supplied herein. No plea of ignorance by the bidder pertaining to the content of the
specifications, drawings, schedule, or instructions will be considered by the purchaser on the deadline, if
bid submission has occurred. Failure or omission on the part of the bidder to make the necessary
examinations and investigations into the content of the specifications AND make all clarifications or
explanations of exceptions and conditions that exist or that may exist hereafter shall NOT be accepted as
a basis for making variations to the requirements of the purchaser or compensation to the bidder.
INQUIRIES and CLARIFICATIONS
All questions regarding these specifications must be submitted in writing to the City of Carmel Fire Department.
Responses will be in writing and mailed or emailed to all vendors who have obtained a registered copy of the bid. Address
correspondence to Bob VanVoorst, Logistics Chief, Carmel Fire Department, 2 Civic Square, Carmel Indiana 46032,
Telephone: (317)-571-2600, Facsimile (317)-571-2615, E-mail address: bvanvoorst@carmel.in.gov
BRAND NAMES
Whenever a brand or manufacturers name is utilized in these specifications, it is included for descriptive purposes and to
establish a level of quality. Products that are equivalent to those named may be proposed, providing that full supporting
documentation is furnished establishing such equivalency. Simply providing manufacturers literature will not be
considered justification for the substitution. .
EXPLANATION OF EXCEPTIONS
Bidders may take exceptions to any part of the bid contained herein with a written itemized schedule.
The schedule shall include the page number, paragraph number(s), the text that the bidder feels he
cannot comply with and an explanation why the bidder feels that the requirement is not in the best interest
of the purchaser AND/OR an alternate bidder solution. Alternate bidder solutions may be considered by
the purchaser, if the bidder can show the purchaser that the alternate solution is, in quality and quantity,
equal to OR better than the specified item. Explanations of exceptions taken must be documented and
submitted with the bid proposal on or before the bid submission deadline.
The purchaser reserves the right to determine which (if any) deviations are acceptable. A complete set of bidder's
specifications for the proposed apparatus must be submitted with the bid, in bid order. "Yes" answers on the bid
evaluation sheets do not relieve the bidder of the requirement to submit an accurate proposal. Discrepancies found in the
bidders' specifications will be considered non-compliant.
The purchaser's specifications shall, in all cases, govern the construction of the apparatus, unless a properly documented
exception or deviation was approved. This is not a RFP (Request for Proposal).
All bids received will be evaluated on the basis of such factors as reliability, earliest date of apparatus delivery, life cycle
3
cost, productivity, price, cost of maintenance, service location, past performance, parts availability, transportation charges,
cost of service, warranty, the integrity, character, reputation, competency and experience of the bidder, and other factors
deemed pertinent by the department.
NO BIDS TAKING TOTAL EXCEPTION
BID PACKAGES SHALL NOT TAKE TOTAL EXCEPTIONS: Bidders are required under this bid invitation
to give, for the consideration of the purchaser, a proposal that will comply with the written specifications,
drawings, and schedules supplied herein. The specifications supplied represent a compilation of input
from all disciplines of users, patients, maintenance and management personnel who are directly affected
by the vehicle performance. All the personnel who have direct working contact with the vehicle specified
herein base careful consideration pertaining to safety, configuration, construction, and workmanship on
working experiences. The intent of this ambulance was created as a result of resolving issues and
improvement suggestions that have originated from the personnel most QUALIFIED to make such input.
The purchaser makes no claim that potential issues or improvements are included in the specifications
supplied herein. The purchaser will consider any valid concern by any bidder and will consider only minor
specification exceptions or alternates of equal or better performance, provided that the exceptions are
steered toward meeting the intent AND the exceptions are submitted with the final bid proposal on or
before the bid deadline.
A bidder who submits a bid that takes "Total Exception" and makes an offering of some "Standard" or
"Stock" unit will be viewed by the purchaser as a bidder who did not make, and is not prepared to make, a
valid bid, and is not qualified to manufacture the ambulance as specified herein. Alternate bids shall NOT
be considered.
Any bid indicating that the bidder's proposal shall supersede the Purchaser's specifications shall be
viewed as taking total exception to the specification and will be cause for immediate rejection.
PROPOSAL DRAWINGS Two
(2) full size blueprint type drawings of the ambulance being proposed shall be submitted with the bid package. These
drawings shall be drawn to scale on a CAD system to assure an accurate and professional drawing. The drawing shall
show five (5) views of the vehicle (front, rear, both sides and top). The drawings shall show the overall dimensions of the
apparatus, proposed compartment sizes and features, the location of all emergency warning equipment, work lights and
other major items that are to be provided on the apparatus. Because these drawings are an important tool in the bid
evaluation process, the drawings submitted shall be specifically for the apparatus being bid. Drawings that are "similar to"
or general in design are not acceptable and shall be considered non-compliant and non responsive.
PURCHASER'S RIGHTS
ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION: The Purchaser reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids as
deemed to be in the best interest of the purchaser and is not bound to accept the lowest bid.
BID PROPOSAL TIME LIMITS: All bids submitted to the purchaser shall remain in effect for a minimum
period of ninety (90) calendar days.
BID WITHDRAWAL: Only written bid withdrawal requests will be accepted by the purchaser. Bid
withdrawals received less than (3) three working days prior to the advertised bid opening will not be
accepted.
MANUFACTURER'S RELIABILITY
The manufacturer must be satisfactory to the purchaser from the standpoint of experience, reliability, reputation,
competence and demonstrated ability to manufacture equipment, comparable as to size and type, as specified, for the
past fifteen (15) years. Each bidder must furnish a list of references consisting of in-service units of similar chassis make
and conversion processes being proposed.

We are pleased to submit our bid for one Horton 603 Type I Ambulance on a new 2016 Ford F-450 4x4 chassis. Because
these specifications were written around one particular manufacturer with different construction techniques we will be taking
exception to this part of the bid and offering our standard construction which we feel exceed the build standards specified. A
detailed list of differences between the two different ambulance manufacturers is listed later in the bid, the basic design,
options, and intent are basically the same.
The bid price of this Horton 603 body on a 2016 F-450 4x4 chassis
Cost of Performance Bond
2003 Trade- in
Total Bid Price
$207,636.00
$ 1,470.00
($6,000.00)
$203,106.00
The Ford Chassis should be applicable for a GPC discount. Ford has not released the discounts for the F -Series chassis
yet but when they do that amount will be credited to this proposal. Ford usually starts the discount at $3200.00.
Delivery of this unit would be expected in 199 days after receipt of order.
We itemized out the cost of the Performance Bond because the City will not have any financial exposure with this purchase.
No payments are required until the unit has been built, had final inspection, and accepted by the Fire Department, then full
payment will be required on delivery.
If the City decides not to have a Performance Bond then just credit the associated cost from the total amount.
Horton has been building quality ambulances for the past 46 years and is known in the industry as being the safest, most
tested custom manufacturer in the country. We have been an active member in good standing with Ford (NM program and
the National Truck Equipment Association's AMD (Ambulance Manufacturer's Division) since their inception.
Horton not only builds and meets the standards of Federal Specifications KKK -A -1822F and NFPA's 1917 standards, we have
exceeded those standards with SLED testing, crash testing and computer simulated testing to give our customers the safest
vehicle on the market.
If you have any questions pertaining to this bid, please give us a call.
Thank you for the opportunity to quote,

BRAND NAMES
Whenever a brand or manufacturers name is utilized in these specifications, it is included for descriptive purposes and to
establish a level of quality. Products that are equivalent to those named may be proposed, providing that full supporting
documentation is furnished establishing such equivalency. Simply providing manufacturers literature will not be
considered justification for the substitution. .

Bidders may take exceptions to any part of the bid contained herein with a written itemized schedule.
The schedule shall include the page number, paragraph number(s), the text that the bidder feels he
cannot comply with and an explanation why the bidder feels that the requirement is not in the best interest
of the purchaser AND/OR an alternate bidder solution. Alternate bidder solutions may be considered by

equal to OR better than the specified item. Explanations of exceptions taken must be documented and
submitted with the bid proposal on or before the bid submission deadline.
The purchaser reserves the right to determine which (if any) deviations are acceptable. A complete set of bidder's
specifications for the proposed apparatus must be submitted with the bid, in bid order. "Yes" answers on the bid
evaluation sheets do not relieve the bidder of the requirement to submit an accurate proposal. Discrepancies found in the
bidders' specifications will be considered non-compliant.
1
The purchaser's specifications shall, in all cases, govern the construction of the apparatus, unless a properly documented
exception or deviation was approved. This is not a RFP (Request for Proposal).
All bids received will be evaluated on the basis of such factors as reliability, earliest date of apparatus delivery, life cycle
cost, productivity, price, cost of maintenance, service location, past performance, parts availability, transportation charges,
cost of service, warranty, the integrity, character, reputation, competency and experience of the bidder, and other factors
deemed pertinent by the department.

BID PACKAGES SHALL NOT TAKE TOTAL EXCEPTIONS: Bidders are required under this bid invitation
to give, for the consideration of the purchaser, a proposal that will comply with the written specifications,
drawings, and schedules supplied herein. The specifications supplied represent a compilation of input
from all disciplines of users, patients, maintenance and management personnel who are directly affected
by the vehicle performance. All the personnel who have direct working contact with the vehicle specified
herein base careful consideration pertaining to safety, configuration, construction, and workmanship on
working experiences. The intent of this ambulance was created as a result of resolving issues and
improvement suggestions that have originated from the personnel most QUALIFIED to make such input.
The purchaser makes no claim that potential issues or improvements are included in the specifications
supplied herein. The purchaser will consider any valid concern by any bidder and will consider only minor
specification exceptions or alternates of equal or better performance, provided that the exceptions are
steered toward meeting the intent AND the exceptions are submitted with the final bid proposal on or
before the bid deadline.
A bidder who submits a bid that takes "Total Exception" and makes an offering of some "Standard" or
I"Stock" unit will be viewed by the purchaser as a bidder who did not make, and is not prepared to make, a
valid bid, and is not qualified to manufacture the ambulance as specified herein. Alternate bids shall NOT
be considered.
Any bid indicating that the bidder's proposal shall supersede the Purchaser's specifications shall be
viewed as taking total exception to the specification and will be cause for immediate rejection.

drawings shall be drawn to scale on a CAD system to assure an accurate and professional drawing. The drawing shall

I apparatus, proposed compartment sizes and features, the location of all emergency warning equipment, work lights and
other major items that are to be provided on the apparatus. Because these drawings are an important tool in the bid
evaluation process, the drawings submitted shall be specifically for the apparatus being bid. Drawings that are "similar to"
or general in design are not acceptable and shall be considered non-compliant and non responsive.

The "Bidder" is hereinafter defined as the ambulance manufacturer and/or it's authorized Representative/Dealer.
PURCHASER'S INTENT
The intent of the specifications supplied herein is to purchase an ambulance with the highest level of
quality and engineering excellence. The intent of this vehicle is centered on the patient's need for pre-
hospital care, in conjunction with a safe working environment for the Emergency Medical Personnel.
BIDDER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Bidders shall thoroughly examine all drawings, specifications, schedules, instructions and any other
documents supplied as part of this invitation to bid and shall make all investigations necessary to
thoroughly inform themselves regarding the content of the written specifications, drawings, and
instructions supplied herein. No plea of ignorance by the bidder pertaining to the content of the
specifications, drawings, schedule, or instructions will be considered by the purchaser on the deadline, if
bid submission has occurred. Failure or omission on the part of the bidder to make the necessary
examinations and investigations into the content of the specifications AND make all clarifications or
explanations of exceptions and conditions that exist or that may exist hereafter shall NOT be accepted as
a basis for making variations to the requirements of the purchaser or compensation to the bidder.
BRAND NAMES
Whenever a brand or manufacturers name is utilized in these specifications, it is included for descriptive purposes and to
establish a level of quality. Products that are equivalent to those named may be proposed, providing that full supporting
documentation is furnished establishing such equivalency. Simply providing manufacturers literature will not be
considered justification for the substitution. .
EXPLANATION OF EXCEPTIONS
Bidders may take exceptions to any part of the bid contained herein with a written itemized schedule.
The schedule shall include the page number, paragraph number(s), the text that the bidder feels he
cannot comply with and an explanation why the bidder feels that the requirement is not in the best interest
of the purchaser AND/OR an alternate bidder solution. Alternate bidder solutions may be considered by
the purchaser, if the bidder can show the purchaser that the alternate solution is, in quality and quantity,
equal to OR better than the specified item. Explanations of exceptions taken must be documented and
submitted with the bid proposal on or before the bid submission deadline.
The purchaser reserves the right to determine which (if any) deviations are acceptable. A complete set of bidder's
bspecifications for the proposed apparatus must be submitted with the bid, in bid order. "Yes" answers on the bid
evaluation sheets do not relieve the bidder of the requirement to submit an accurate proposal. Discrepancies found in the
bidders' specifications will be considered non-compliant.
1
The purchaser's specifications shall, in all cases, govern the construction of the apparatus, unless a properly documented
exception or deviation was approved. This is not a RFP (Request for Proposal).
All bids received will be evaluated on the basis of such factors as reliability, earliest date of apparatus delivery, life cycle
cost, productivity, price, cost of maintenance, service location, past performance, parts availability, transportation charges,
cost of service, warranty, the integrity, character, reputation, competency and experience of the bidder, and other factors
deemed pertinent by the department.
NO BIDS TAKING TOTAL EXCEPTION
BID PACKAGES SHALL NOT TAKE TOTAL EXCEPTIONS: Bidders are required under this bid invitation
to give, for the consideration of the purchaser, a proposal that will comply with the written specifications,
drawings, and schedules supplied herein. The specifications supplied represent a compilation of input
from all disciplines of users, patients, maintenance and management personnel who are directly affected
by the vehicle performance. All the personnel who have direct working contact with the vehicle specified
herein base careful consideration pertaining to safety, configuration, construction, and workmanship on
working experiences. The intent of this ambulance was created as a result of resolving issues and
improvement suggestions that have originated from the personnel most QUALIFIED to make such input.
The purchaser makes no claim that potential issues or improvements are included in the specifications
supplied herein. The purchaser will consider any valid concern by any bidder and will consider only minor
specification exceptions or alternates of equal or better performance, provided that the exceptions are
steered toward meeting the intent AND the exceptions are submitted with the final bid proposal on or
before the bid deadline.
A bidder who submits a bid that takes "Total Exception" and makes an offering of some "Standard" or
"Stock" unit will be viewed by the purchaser as a bidder who did not make, and is not prepared to make, a
valid bid, and is not qualified to manufacture the ambulance as specified herein. Alternate bids shall NOT
be considered.
Any bid indicating that the bidder's proposal shall supersede the Purchaser's specifications shall be
viewed as taking total exception to the specification and will be cause for immediate rejection.
PROPOSAL DRAWINGS Two
(2) full size blueprint type drawings of the ambulance being proposed shall be submitted with the bid package. These
drawings shall be drawn to scale on a CAD system to assure an accurate and professional drawing. The drawing shall
show five (5) views of the vehicle (front, rear, both sides and top). The drawings shall show the overall dimensions of the
apparatus, proposed compartment sizes and features, the location of all emergency warning equipment, work lights and
other major items that are to be provided on the apparatus. Because these drawings are an important tool in the bid
evaluation process, the drawings submitted shall be specifically for the apparatus being bid. Drawings that are "similar to"
or general in design are not acceptable and shall be considered non-compliant and non responsive.
PURCHASER'S RIGHTS
ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION: The Purchaser reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids as
deemed to be in the best interest of the purchaser and is not bound to accept the lowest bid.
BID PROPOSAL TIME LIMITS: All bids submitted to the purchaser shall remain in effect for a minimum
