This is a specifications document from the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) for a 5-year contract for the provision of new Salt Brine and Utility Trailers. The document details technical specifications for two types of trailers - salt brine trailers and utility trailers - that must be delivered fully assembled to four regional TDOT garages across Tennessee. Both trailer types must meet specific dimensional requirements with a GVWR of 14,000 lb. The contract will be awarded as a single contract from this procurement event.

The contractor is responsible for all shipping charges to the four delivery locations (Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Jackson), which must be included in the bid price. Detailed manufacturing specifications are provided for both trailer types, including requirements for materials, welding methods, lighting, paint finishes, and safety features. All equipment must be thoroughly cleaned and painted with a corrosion-resistant finish in Gloss Black color, using 100% lead and chromate-free paints and primers. TDOT maintains inspection rights and can reject non-conforming goods, with the contractor required to replace or repair defective items at no additional cost within 30 days.
