The procurement sought quotations for seven John Deere 1550 TerrainCut mowers with various configurations, including units with 60", 62", and 72" mower decks in both 4-wheel and 2-wheel drive options, all equipped with Comfort Adjust Suspension Seats with Armrests, rear weight brackets with suitcase weights, and single spool auxiliary hydraulics. The quotation deadline was February 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, with submissions required via email to bids@cityofmadison.com. The RFQ was initially posted on January 29, 2026. The award recommendation was dated March 5, 2026, with the contract awarded to Mid-State Equipment. The contract has an initial term of one year with no renewal options.

The total award amount is $181,025.00, which represents the actual contract amount with no price adjustment terms included.

The procurement required delivered pricing with FOB Madison delivery, including all shipping charges. Two bids were received during the competitive process. The City of Madison applied its local vendor preference policy to the evaluation, though this preference did not change the outcome of the selection process. Evaluation criteria included cost, quality, warranty, delivery, past performance, service reputation, and service capability. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the procurement documentation.
