26-0012-3 Purchase and Installation of Meyer Plow on Two (2) Ford F-150

Chatham County in Georgia is seeking competitive bids for the purchase and installation of two Meyer Plows on 2019 or newer Ford F-150 trucks through solicitation number 26-0012-3. The procurement involves a comprehensive package that includes not only the plow equipment but also complete installation services. Specific requirements mandate that each plow must come with a mounting kit, operating system, moldboard, mounting carton, harness, and all integral components. Additionally, vendors must install a wire salt spreader connected to the battery and run a controller in the cab, along with an in-bed hopper salt spreader designed for a 1/2-ton truck. The bid was posted on January 16, 2026, with proposals due by January 27, 2026, giving potential vendors approximately 11 days to prepare and submit their responses. Qualified vendors must demonstrate technical capability to fully integrate the plow systems into the specified Ford F-150 vehicles and provide comprehensive installation services.

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in heavy equipment installation and municipal vehicle outfitting. The contract appears focused on providing winter maintenance equipment for Chatham County's fleet, suggesting this is a replacement or expansion of existing snow removal capabilities. Though no specific budget range is provided, municipal vehicle equipment procurement typically falls within moderate infrastructure investment parameters, likely ranging between $15,000 to $30,000 for the complete plow and installation package. Vendors will need to provide detailed specifications, installation plans, warranty information, and pricing structures that meet the county's precise technical requirements. Interested parties should carefully review all solicitation documents and prepare comprehensive proposals that address every technical and logistical aspect of the plow procurement and installation project.
