60K GVW Dump - Plow Trucks

The State of Nevada Purchasing Division, acting on behalf of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), is seeking competitive bids for new 60K GVW Dump-Plow Trucks designed for summer and winter road maintenance operations. The procurement specifically requires a fully equipped truck capable of performing dump truck duties during summer and snow plowing/salt/sand spreading during winter in mountainous terrain at altitudes up to 9,000 feet. Detailed specifications mandate a minimum 500 horsepower engine, 13-liter displacement, ability to operate at 75 MPH, and precise requirements for frame construction, wheelbase, bumpers, hydraulic systems, and specialized snow removal equipment. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive documentation including parts catalogs, shop manuals, operator manuals, and electrical schematics. A mandatory pre-build meeting will be conducted within two weeks of bid award to confirm specifications, and the successful bidder must provide training for mechanical and operational use at multiple NDOT locations across Nevada. The bid is posted on May 29, 2025, with proposals due by June 23, 2025, and vendors must submit bids through the NevadaEPro electronic procurement system.

The procurement offers a five percent preference for Nevada-based businesses that can certify a majority of goods are produced in the state, with special considerations for businesses owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities. Vendors must be licensed Nevada vehicle dealers with authorized service and parts centers within the state, capable of responding to service calls within specified timeframes. The contract requires vendors to provide manufacturer warranties of at least one year and submit Dealers Report of Sale (DRS) or Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO) upon delivery. Automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 is mandatory for vendors delivering commodities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a high-value procurement for specialized transportation equipment. Vendors must comply with Nevada Revised Statutes, federal motor vehicle safety standards, and demonstrate the ability to meet strict technical requirements for complex, multi-functional municipal vehicles designed for challenging road maintenance conditions.
