40K Capacity Sliding Axle Trailer

The State of Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is seeking competitive pricing for a one-time purchase of one (1) 40,000 lb. capacity sliding axle trailer. The equipment must be new, and used, refurbished, demo, prototype or gray market equipment will not be accepted. The successful bidder must provide authorized service, repair, and parts statewide, and meet specific response time and warranty requirements. Bidders must provide descriptive data or printed specifications describing the complete unit, and the Dealers Report of Sale (DRS) or Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO) with each equipment item at the time of delivery. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on factors such as location, quality, total cost of ownership, conformity to specifications, and delivery dates.

The State grants preferences to certain businesses, including those owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities, as well as state institutions that produce goods through inmate labor. Pricing must be an irrevocable offer for the term of the contract, and the State generally pays within 30-45 days after receipt of invoice and agency approval. The State reserves the right to terminate the contract for non-appropriation of funds or default. The contract may be awarded for separate items or groups of items in the best interest of the State, and the term is up to two years with possible annual extensions.
