25 Cubic Yard Rear-Load Refuse Truck

The City of Owensboro, Kentucky, is seeking a vendor to furnish and deliver one new 2028 model year or newer rear-load refuse collection truck, complete and ready for service, with responses due November 19, 2026. Eligibility is gated by Kentucky preference-law affidavits, and bidders must claim one of two statutory statuses.

Qualified bidder status is available to nonprofit corporations furthering the purposes of KRS Chapter 163, or to qualified nonprofit agencies for individuals with severe disabilities that employ such individuals for at least seventy-five percent of direct labor man hours and maintain good standing with the Kentucky Secretary of State. Resident bidder status requires affirming authority to transact business in Kentucky and maintaining Kentucky income tax filings, unemployment insurance fund payments, and workers' compensation insurance for the one-year period before and through the advertisement date.

All affidavits require notarization and execution under penalty of perjury. The affidavit file, "1-Kentucky Preference Laws - Required Affidavits.pdf," was posted November 4, 2026, and the listed jurisdiction is Daviess County (FIPS 21059), Kentucky.
