About this file
This is an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) document issued by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources for a one-time equipment purchase. The State seeks to procure a single Chandler 8-Ton 20-PTT-FT fertilizer and lime spreader with a 304 stainless steel hopper and 52-degree sides equipped with 540 RPM PTO lime spinners. The equipment will be used by the Wildlife Division to amend soil for habitat crop plantings. The intended source is Fertilizer Dealer Supply located in Morrice, Michigan. The solicitation manager is Patrick Avendt, who can be reached at (517) 284-5922 or avendtp@michigan.gov. The question submission deadline was Monday, April 2, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, with responses to be posted on www.michigan.gov/sigmavss. Any potential bidder disputing that this good is available only from the intended source must submit a written response describing an equivalent product by Friday, April 20, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
The State issued this single-source justification because spreaders of this size are not typically equipped with stainless steel hoppers capable of handling the corrosive properties of both lime and fertilizer; competing spreaders utilize plastic or powder-coated hoppers. The mandatory minimum requirement mandates that the contractor be either the manufacturer or an authorized dealer/distributor for the specified Chandler spreader model. The State reserves the right to independently verify authorized dealer, distributor, or certified repair service provider status. The commodity code reference is 51575 for broadcast spreaders for fertilizer and seed. This is a one-time purchase with a contract period of April 2018.
