2018-4 Public Works Roller

The City of Edgerton, located in Wisconsin, is soliciting quotes for the procurement of a 36-inch wide drum gas, 3,000-pound dual drive roller or comparable equipment through a Request for Quotes (RFQ) process. The public works department seeks a vendor to provide a specialized piece of machinery with specific technical requirements, including an hour meter, low fuel indicator, auto shutdown at low oil level, center single lifting point, work lights, emergency engine shutdown, back-up alarm, lockable engine cover, fold-down ROPS protection, and steering knob. Interested vendors must submit sealed bids by May 14, 2018, at 3:00 PM Central Time through multiple submission channels: email to jsalvo@cityofedgerton.com, fax to 608-884-8892, or hand delivery to Edgerton City Hall at 12 Albion Street. The procurement process requires manual signatures on provided forms, with no erasures permitted, and bids received after the deadline will be automatically rejected. Bidders can contact Tom Hartzell, Public Works Director, at 608-884-3341 for additional information or clarification about the equipment specifications.

The City of Edgerton reserves significant discretion in the procurement process, including the right to reject any and all bids, make awards by individual items or groups of items, and adjust procurement based on budgetary constraints. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement and comply with all applicable Wisconsin state and local laws and regulations. The successful vendor will be required to provide comprehensive pricing inclusive of all freight, shipping, packaging, and delivery fees, with payment terms set at net 30 unless otherwise specified. The vendor must also provide a quality guarantee and be responsible for picking up and refunding any equipment not meeting the specified requirements. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were mentioned, the bid process appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and compliance requirements. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the procurement is for a single piece of specialized public works equipment, suggesting a moderate capital investment for the municipal government.
