2 fully equipped, 33, 000 pound, 5 cubic yard, diesel powered, 2 axle dump trucks

Sacramento County's Internal Services Agency Fleet Services Division is seeking to procure two fully equipped, diesel-powered dump trucks through Request for Bid (RFB) #2022-RFB-0121. The specific procurement involves two identical trucks, each with a 33,000-pound capacity, 5 cubic yard volume, and two-axle configuration, intended for construction and municipal maintenance purposes. Evaluation criteria will comprehensively consider multiple factors including engine emissions (the most critical factor), product warranty, service and parts support availability in the Sacramento area, local user references, delivery timelines, and vendor performance history. Bidders are required to submit electronically through the ProcureNow platform, with a response submission deadline of December 7, 2022, at 5:00 pm, and an anticipated contract award date of December 14, 2022. Technical specifications mandate Federal 2010 emission-compliant engines, CARB certification, and encourage submissions of zero-emission or alternative fuel vehicle options.

The solicitation includes provisions for local and micro-business preferences, with potential 5% local and 2% micro-business preference credits. Environmental purchasing policies emphasize sustainability, recycled content, and waste prevention. Comprehensive insurance requirements are specified, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage. While no specific incumbent vendors are listed, the bid allows for potential multi-year contract extensions up to three years, with price increases limited to 5% per vehicle model year. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement process suggests flexibility for additional purchases beyond the initial two trucks, with pricing to remain firm for the first production model year. Vendors must provide extensive documentation, including user lists, weight certificates, service manuals, and participate in pre-production meetings and inspections to ensure full compliance with the technical specifications.
