The procurement requires conventional cab vehicles with a fourteen-foot flatbed dump body featuring standard stake pockets, frame-mounted tool boxes, side boards, headboard, and an articulating crane. Key deliverables include trucks meeting specific emission reduction and performance standards, with vendors encouraged to utilize available grant or incentive monies to reduce final vehicle pricing.

Bidders must submit responses electronically through the SacCountyEbids platform and provide comprehensive documentation including non-collusion affidavits and business structure information.

The procurement includes local and micro-business preferences, with potential 5% and 2% price or point adjustments for qualifying businesses in the Sacramento Regional Market Area. Preference will be given to Sacramento County and California-made products when price and quality are equal. The contract allows for multi-year pricing extensions, with potential for two additional one-year terms beyond the initial contract period, subject to mutual agreement between the County and vendor. Price increases are limited to a maximum of 5% per vehicle model year and must be substantiated by documented manufacturer price increases. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves three vehicles with detailed specifications suggesting a significant capital investment. The county emphasizes a commitment to low-emission technologies and alternative fuel systems, potentially making this opportunity more attractive to vendors with environmentally sustainable vehicle solutions.
