About this opportunity
Columbus Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia is requesting sealed bids for 30' low floor trolley buses on an annual "as needed" contract for METRA, with bids due October 6, 2021 under RFB No. 22-0010. The City anticipates purchasing approximately 0–3 units annually during Fiscal Years 2022 through 2025. Three addenda have been issued and must be acknowledged in the sealed bid submission; failure to acknowledge may render the proposal incomplete.
The scope requires heavy-duty Cummins ISL engines or approved equals — Addendum No. Three clarified that medium-duty Cummins ISB engines are not acceptable substitutes. Vendors must supply actual 30' low floor trolley buses; trolley wraps on transit buses do not satisfy the specification. Manufacturers' standard 275/70R 22.5 wheels and tires are accepted per Addendum No. Two. The City rejected requests to use manufacturer standard front 3-window trolley configurations and alternative side window designs.
The contract structure shows escalating annual pricing: Year 1 at $631,335, Year 2 at $671,633 (6.4% increase), and Year 3 at $714,503 (6.4% increase). Gillig LLC was awarded the contract as the selected vendor. Addenda One, Two, and Three were issued September 29 or earlier in the posting month and address engine specifications, window configurations, tire specifications, and trolley-bus authenticity.
