24-002 Trade Package for (2) Bobcat E42 Compact Excavators

The Floyd County Board of Commissioners is seeking sealed bids for a Trade Package for two (2) Bobcat E42 Compact Excavators. The County is requesting bids from qualified vendors to purchase the new Bobcat E42 excavators, while also requesting trade-in pricing for two existing 2023 Bobcat E42 excavators with 370 and 465 hours of use, respectively. Bids are due by 11:00 AM on February 6, 2024, and will be publicly opened and read at that time. The bid specifications outline the minimum requirements for the new Bobcat E42 excavators, including engine horsepower, travel speed, bucket digging force, reach, dimensions, lift capacity, boom swing, and dig depth. Bidders must provide detailed information on the brand/model being bid, as well as the warranty. The trade-in values for the existing excavators will be deducted from the bid price for the new units to determine the total invoice amount.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. The County reserves the right to award the contract on a lump sum or individual item basis, whichever is deemed most advantageous. The Bid Price Submission Form includes questions related to the proximity of the vendor's nearest service center, their turnaround time for service calls, and any supply chain issues with parts, which may be considered in the award process. While the exact award value is not specified, the County is seeking to purchase two new Bobcat E42 Compact Excavators and receive trade-in value for two existing units.
