12 - medium duty dump truck tandem - CAB/chassis

The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) is issuing Request for Quote #8088 for the procurement of twelve (12) medium-duty dump truck tandem cab-chassis vehicles. The vehicles must be new 2027 or 2028 model year units manufactured by approved vendors including Mack, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Western Star, International, or Kenworth, with all standard production features and comprehensive specifications across powertrain, suspension, brakes, steering, wheels and tires, frame and body components, cab features, and specialty equipment. Deliverables include factory-installed equipment with FOB delivery to a designated body builder location to be determined, with KTA retaining inspection rights at the body builder facility and prorated payment retention until all specifications are met. Key objectives include securing vehicles that meet detailed technical specifications with engine and after-treatment components warranted for seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, with the standard warranty commencing thirty days after KTA takes possession. Required qualifications include vendor registration through the Euna Procurement portal at https://ksturnpike.bonfirehub.com/portal/, submission of a signed RFQ, detailed equipment specifications with vendor-specific pricing breakdowns, completed KTA Equipment Specification Sheet identifying any exceptions or variances, estimated delivery times, and pricing on the provided Bid Table (BT-380W) sheet. Evaluation criteria focus on design, material, workmanship guarantees, factory guarantees, and free replacement of parts failing to meet guarantee specifications at the F.O.B. delivery point, with the basis of purchase not solely on lowest bid price. The bid closing and disclosure is scheduled for Friday, February 13, 2026, with board approval and bid selection anticipated for Thursday, February 26, 2026.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are identified in the procurement documents provided. The RFQ does not reference incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. Pricing quotes must exclude federal excise taxes and state, county, and local sales taxes, with all equipment, parts, and special features required to be factory-installed unless after-market installation receives prior written approval from the Purchasing Department. The winning bidder must provide sufficient training and necessary information to KTA end-users upon delivery, and any makes or models not specifically listed on the Equipment Specification Sheet require pre-approval by the KTA Procurement Team. All submissions become property of the KTA and are subject to disclosure under the Kansas Open Records Act unless properly marked as confidential with supporting legal justification. Specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available procurement documents.
