DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department/Fleet Division manages the repair and maintenance of City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment. Periodically, the City’s vehicles require collision repair services.
SELECTION PROCESS
On October 3, 2025 the City of Chula Vista issued a Request for Proposals ( “RFP”) P13-2026 for Collision Repair Services. The RFP was advertised in The Star News and published on PlanetBids. Through PlanetBids 115 potential bidders were notified with 10 prospective bidders downloading the bid documentation. Of the 10 prospective bidders the City received two (2) responsive proposals.
A selection committee composed of Public Works staff completed a comprehensive evaluation of the proposals based on criteria that included the contractors experience with collision repair services, the ability to provide the services, price, and references.
Following the evaluation, the selection committee is recommending awards to both bidders to ensure the effective delivery of the required services. A Notice of Intent to Award was issued to all firms that submitted proposals on January 28, 2026. The following contractors were selected (listed in alphabetical order):
BodyWorks Collision, Inc
MJP Enterprises, Inc.
BodyWorks Collision, Inc and MJP Enterprises, Inc. can provide core repair services but each also provides unique specializations. BodyWorks Collision handles detailed repairs for light and medium duty vehicles and equipment, while MJP Enterprises focuses on heavy duty vehicles and equipment and serves as supplemental support for light duty assets when capacity or specialty needs arise. Thus, this dual award is determined to be in the City’s best interest as the City would require the full range of services offered by each contractor.
SCOPE OF WORK
Under the proposed contracts the contractor will provide the following scope of services as requested by the City of Chula Vista Fleet Division:
1. Collision repair for automobiles, vans, trucks, and emergency vehicles / equipment.
2. Refinishing and painting of parts, components, and equipment.
