The SBA seeks to secure long-term storage for a total of 4 Ford Transit vans (MRVs) in a fully enclosed, secure environment that protects the vehicles from environmental damage and allows SBA personnel easy access to retrieve them for disaster response operations. To ensure operational readiness, the SBA requires secure, long-term storage for these vehicles in a manner that allows for immediate access and deployment when needed. Specifically, storage must be established for one MRV in year 1 at the Field Operations Center West (FOCW) in Citrus Heights, CA, another vehicle in years two through five at the Processing and Disbursement Center in Fort Worth, TX 76155 and one MRV in year 1, and two in years two through five at the Field Operations Center East (FOCE) in Norcross, GA. Therefore, a contract is required for the leases beyond a 12-month period; a new 5-year storage contract is necessary to maintain the MRVs in secure, accessible facilities near each location. The contractor shall provide secure storage facilities with a roof and four walls for two Ford Transit vans (MRVs) in the base year with two additional vans in the out years, with one van stored at a facility within 10 miles of FOCW in Citrus Heights, CA, one van stored at a facility within 10 miles of PDC, and two vans stored at a facility within 10 miles of FOCE in Norcross, GA. Each facility shall ensure protection from theft, vandalism, and environmental hazards, with 24/7 access for SBA personnel to deploy the vehicles as needed. The storage contract shall cover a 5-year period to meet the SBA's procurement requirements.
