5 - 1-ton 4X4 truck CAB & chassis with various CAB and bed configurations

The Kansas Turnpike Authority is requesting quotes on five 1-ton 4x4 pickup truck cab and chassis units under RFQ #160-8340, with quotes due October 14, 2026. All vehicles must be 2027 model year manufactured by Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, or RAM, with specified trim packages; makes and models not explicitly listed on the Equipment Specification Sheet require prior KTA Procurement Team approval.

The procurement spans three configurations: three gasoline-powered regular cab single-rear-wheel units with 8-foot utility beds; two diesel-powered regular cab dual-rear-wheel units with 11-foot flatbeds and hoists; and three diesel-powered crew cab dual-rear-wheel units with 9-foot flatbeds and hoists (two with hoist equipment, one cab and chassis only). Approved bed manufacturers are Knapheide and Reading, with alternatives subject to KTA pre-approval and submission of build sheets. All vehicles must include standard fleet warranty of 5 years/100,000 miles for powertrain and 3 years/36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, plus owner's manuals. Delivery is to Wichita or Topeka as specified at bid selection.

The KTA reserves the right to waive technicalities under the specifications and requires that all makes, models, and minimum specifications be stocked and supported by the vendor. Kansas law governs all contracts, with exclusive jurisdiction in Kansas courts. Contractors employing four or more employees or with cumulative contracts exceeding $5,000 annually must comply with anti-discrimination provisions under Kansas and federal law. The KTA is not responsible for contractor taxes, insurance, or property loss, and the contractor is designated as independent with no authority to bind the KTA beyond express agreement terms. A KORA disclosure agreement applies to the winning bidder's proposal, with redaction of confidential information at contractor designation.
