The Grenada County Board of Supervisors is seeking to procure one (1) new Compact Track Loader with a Grapple Bucket Attachment through a competitive bidding process. The procurement is being conducted for Hancock County, Mississippi, with bids to be received and opened on Monday, August 4, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. in the Board Room of the Grenada County Courthouse. Bidders must provide a detailed proposal that includes a cash price, specific delivery date, and comprehensive warranty information. Mandatory requirements include having a parts and service facility within 100 miles of Grenada County and providing a trade-in option for an existing Caterpillar Compact Track Loader (Serial #JX903713). The Board has specified technical requirements based on a John Deere 325GXT Compact Track Loader, which features a Yanmar 4TNV98CT engine with 70 net horsepower, EPA Final Tier 4/EU Stage IV emissions standards, and variable track width options. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on meeting technical specifications, pricing, warranty terms, and the trade-in offer.

The procurement is funded through a USDA Community Facility Grant, suggesting potential restrictions or preferences for local or small businesses. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The existing track loader, purchased on 8/10/2020 for $91,689.39, currently has a book value of $50,428.74 and is expected to have a total useful life of 10 years. While no incumbent vendors were directly identified, the Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids, providing flexibility in the selection process. The procurement documents indicate that interested vendors should contact Ms. Vicky Conley, the County Purchase Clerk, for additional specification details. The budget range can be inferred from the previous equipment purchase, which suggests an anticipated procurement value between $50,000 and $100,000, depending on the specific configuration and trade-in terms.
