JACKSON_TRAP_BODY_SPECIFICATIONS.pdf

This document is a set of specifications for a Jackson Trap Body procurement issued by the Department of Public Works for the City of Jackson. The specifications outline the requirements for a new dump truck body design, including details on dimensions, capacity, materials, and safety features. The procurement requests proposals for the fabrication and delivery of up to 20 new dump truck bodies to be mounted on City-provided chassis. Proposals are due by March 15th, and a mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 1st. The contract is expected to be awarded by April 1st, with a term of three years and options to renew for two additional one-year periods.

The pricing terms call for a fixed unit cost per dump body, with the City reserving the right to purchase additional units at the same price over the contract term. No specific set-aside requirements are included, but the City encourages participation from qualified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. The City has an existing fleet of Jackson Trap Bodies and is looking to standardize and replace aging units as part of this procurement. Funding will be provided through the municipal capital equipment budget, with a total estimated value of the contract between $800,000 to $1,000,000 over the initial three-year period.
