10-Wheel Dump Truck

Orange County, Florida is conducting a procurement for four (4) 10-Wheel Dump Trucks through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. Y23-608-KK, managed by the Public Works, Roads and Drainage department. The solicitation requires delivery of white cab chassis trucks with specific technical specifications, including a 66,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, minimum 450HP engine, dual steering gears, vertical exhaust, and a 16-foot long demolition-style dump body constructed with hardened steel floor and side walls in orange color with county tag. Electronic responses will be accepted exclusively through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform until 4:00 PM EST on September 14, 2023, with a non-mandatory virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for August 21, 2023, at 10:00 AM via WEBEX. Potential bidders must submit all questions by August 25, 2023, at 5:00 PM to the designated contact, Kaitlin Kolhoff, and are required to provide comprehensive documentation including reference forms, conflict of interest statements, and drug-free workplace certifications. The procurement emphasizes strict submission requirements, with only electronic files in common formats like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF being acceptable, and all documents must be unprotected and at least 150 dpi for readability.

The contract includes federal funding provisions, which necessitates compliance with specific federal requirements such as equal employment opportunity standards, Davis-Bacon Act regulations, and debarment restrictions. Bidders must verify employment eligibility through the E-Verify system and adhere to small and minority business enterprise participation guidelines. The procurement is structured as a requirements contract with no guaranteed minimum purchase commitment, with an expected delivery timeline of 180 calendar days after order receipt. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation suggests a commitment to diverse business participation. Invoices will be submitted to Orange County Public Works, and the county holds tax exemption certificates. The contract potentially includes provisions for renewal, though specific details are not comprehensively outlined in the available documentation. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the four dump trucks.
