The certification affirms that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officers, members of Congress, or congressional employees in connection with the awarding of this contract. The City of Scranton Department of Business Administration is soliciting sealed bids for tire procurement services spanning February 15, 2026 through December 31, 2026, comprising 24 line items representing various tire types and sizes for city-owned vehicles including heavy-duty trucks, backhoes, loaders, landscape trailers, and chippers. Bids must be submitted electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal by 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with public bid opening to follow in City Council Chambers. The deadline for submitting questions is February 3, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. The contract term extends from the award date through December 31, 2026, with an option to renew for one additional year under mutually agreed terms or on a month-to-month basis.

The selected vendor must supply tires on demand with 24-hour roadside service availability 365 days per year and maintain tire specifications with equal or better grade ratings than specified. Bidders must demonstrate proper business registration, licensing, certifications, and maintain minimum insurance coverage of $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability and $300,000 automobile liability. All respondents are required to execute affidavits regarding affirmative action compliance, non-segregated facilities, non-collusion, and federal lobbying disclosures. Bidders must submit bids on all 24 line items; failure to do so may result in bid rejection. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award contracts in its best interest. No incumbent vendor information, specific budget range, or set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified in the procurement documents.
