MDOT is seeking one new trailer-mounted pressure washer unit with all standard features in the latest model in current production.

Bidders must respond to each specification requirement with either confirmation or documented exceptions and alternatives.

The specification establishes comprehensive requirements across seven categories: base specifications including a two-year manufacturer's warranty; a gasoline-fueled commercial-grade 23.5 horsepower V-twin engine with standard safety and filtration components; a water pump system with 7 gallons per minute capacity at 4000 PSI with multiple safety devices; a 525-gallon water supply tank; a diesel or kerosene-fired burner unit with temperature control and thermal protection; and a complete accessory package including dual hose reels, high-pressure hoses, spray guns with nozzles, and chemical injection capability. The trailer component must feature a C-channel frame, tandem axles with 7000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, electric brakes with emergency breakaway switch, 15-inch heavy-duty tires, DOT-approved lighting, and a front-mounted toolbox. The document does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, award dates, or funding sources.
