Trailer Mounted Mud Mixer and Pump Unit
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is seeking a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a trailer-mounted automated mud mixer/pump unit to be delivered to 500 N. Hendricks in Hutchinson, Kansas. The procurement covers one new, unused unit with specific technical requirements, including a self-contained system with a 5-cubic-yard material hopper, additive hopper, mixer with 10-cubic-foot minimum capacity, and a high-pressure pump capable of 10 cubic yards per hour at 750 PSI maximum pressure. The trailer must feature two 12,000-pound axles, an 8' x 20' steel deck, and comply with Kansas Motor Vehicle Laws for lighting and safety equipment. The unit shall be powered by two separate gasoline fuel-injected engines: one 27-horsepower engine for the pump and one 23.5-horsepower engine for the mixer, conveyor, and cement hopper. Key procurement dates include a bid opening on December 9, 2025, with questions due by December 23, 2025, and a final bid submission deadline of January 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. The successful vendor must also provide technical service, including a minimum of one working day of personnel instruction on unit operation, safety, and preventive maintenance.
The solicitation allows for participation by various business types, with specific provisions for bidders claiming preferences such as Disabled Veteran Owned Business or Certified Business. Vendors must submit several required documents, including a Kansas Tax Clearance Certificate, Boycott of Israel certification, Sexual Harassment Policy acknowledgment, and Immigration Reform and Control Certification. Procurement card payments are permitted without additional charges, and pricing can be extended to political subdivisions upon request. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a substantial investment in specialized infrastructure equipment. The contract will be governed by Kansas law and is subject to statutory appropriations, with KDOT reserving the right to require a successful demonstration before finalizing the award. Bids may be submitted electronically to Procurement@ks.gov or hand-delivered to the Office of Procurement and Contracts in Topeka, Kansas.
