About this file

This document is a Request for Bids (RFB) for a Zero Turn Riding Mower issued by the City of Goodland, Kansas, for use by the Parks, Sewer & Street Departments. The bid solicits proposals for one new, unused riding mower with specific technical requirements, including a liquid-cooled diesel engine (37 HP), 72-inch side-discharge deck, hydrostatic drive, and twin lever zero-turn steering. Sealed bids are due on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, by 11:00 a.m. MST, with bid opening and review occurring at that time. The City plans to award the bid on Monday, April 1, 2024, during a regularly scheduled Commission Meeting, with payment to be made in a lump sum after delivery, equipment compliance, and approval by the City Manager and City Commission.

The minimum specifications detail comprehensive requirements for the mower, including specific tire sizes, deck adjustments, frame construction, seat features, and warranty provisions. The City reserves the right to waive minor technicalities, accept or reject any bids, and adjust bid specifications based on cost considerations. The document encourages bidders to submit proposals even if they do not meet all specifications exactly, with a provision for listing deviations from the stated requirements. The mower is expected to be a current production model with all new and unused parts, and bidders must include a brochure and warranty information with their submission.
