(3) Skid Steers

This Request for Quote (RFQ) is for the procurement of three skid steer units for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and other political subdivisions within the state of Ohio. The RFQ specifies that one of the skid steer units must have a high-flow front cutter attachment. The required operating weights for the skid steer units range from 6,400 to 13,000 pounds and they must include features such as vertical lift geometry, falling object protection, backup cameras, rotating beacons, and various attachment options. Eligible purchasers include ODOT and other political subdivisions within Ohio, though the RFQ does not guarantee any specific quantities. Vendors are asked to provide their lowest net delivered prices for the specified skid steer units, including pricing for the high-flow front cutter option. The RFQ does not mention any set-asides, incumbent vendors, or funding sources, but it notes that purchase orders will be issued to detail the specific delivery destinations.

The RFQ also requires vendors to complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which affirms that they will not perform any offshore services, store state data offshore, or purchase from Russian institutions or companies. Vendors must disclose the locations where all services will be performed and state data will be stored. The state reserves the right to terminate the contract if any services are performed or state data is located outside of the United States without a duly signed waiver. The Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions document outlines the instructions, definitions, and conditions that must accompany each ODOT procurement opportunity for supplies and most services.
