25-006 commercial unimac washer & dryer

Floyd County Board of Commissioners is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of commercial laundry equipment, specifically a UniMac washer and dryer or equivalent, for their P.A.W.S. facility. The invitation to bid (ITB #25-006) was issued on December 20, 2024, with bid responses due by 10:00 AM on January 10, 2025. The detailed specifications require a 65-pound capacity washer-extractor with a 5 HP motor, 6-speed inverter drive, 200 G-force extraction, and a programmable microcomputer with 30 wash cycle options, and a 75-pound capacity gas drying tumbler with UniLinc Touch programmable controls and an Optidry system. Bidders must submit responses electronically through https://floydcountyga.bonfirehub.com and provide separate pricing for installation and shipping costs. Key evaluation criteria include the proximity and response time of repair and service facilities, with the county reserving the right to award the contract on a lump sum or individual item basis based on their best interests. Optional extended 5-year warranty coverage is requested, and vendors must provide a Certificate of Liability insurance for $500,000 per occurrence.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations mentioned in the procurement documents. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the bid does not indicate any mandatory integration requirements with existing infrastructure. While a precise budget range is not specified, the bid includes a comprehensive pricing submission form requiring detailed cost breakdowns for the washer, dryer, and optional maintenance agreements. Bidders must provide pricing for both 3-year and 5-year service/maintenance agreements, with the understanding that Floyd County is tax-exempt and will operate under Net 30 payment terms. The delivery location is specified as 99 North Ave. Rome, GA 30161, and vendors are expected to quote FOB Destination pricing. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bid process with flexibility for equivalent equipment and focus on overall value, service capabilities, and long-term performance of the proposed laundry equipment.
