Advance AquaPLUS Carpet Extractors

The Parkway School District in Missouri is seeking qualified suppliers to procure two Advance AquaPLUS AXP Battery-Powered Carpet Extractors (Product Number: 56317007) with 6V 255 AH AGM batteries. This one-time purchase involves a CRI-certified carpet extraction machine designed for institutional cleaning applications, featuring patented LIFT technology with capabilities including dual 24-inch counter-rotating brushes, 93 CFM airflow, and a coverage rate of 10,800 square feet per hour. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive documentation through the Bonfire portal, including company letterhead quotes, signed W-9 forms, vendor signature pages, Federal Work Authorization verification, three references, specification sheets, affidavits of non-collusion, and completed pricing sheets. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of January 13, 2026, an intent to bid deadline of January 20, 2026 at 1:30 PM CST, and a bid opening scheduled for January 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST via Google Meet. The District will evaluate bids based on the "lowest and best" criteria, considering factors such as specification compliance, vendor supply capabilities, inventory commitment, prior experience, and financial strength.

The procurement does not explicitly outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with federal work authorization requirements, maintain appropriate insurance, and provide OSHA safety training within sixty days of project commencement. All deliveries will be F.O.B. destination, freight-allowed to the District's central warehouse at 363 North Woods Mill Road, Chesterfield, Missouri, with acceptance limited to new equipment only. The resulting agreement will be valid for one year or until equipment delivery, with the District reserving the right to extend the agreement for one additional month. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement requires vendors to provide standard manufacturer's warranty commencing upon written acceptance or payment. Pricing increases will require thirty days' notice and approval from the Purchasing Manager, and the District is tax-exempt. Vendors must also be prepared to potentially extend the same quoted terms to other local school districts and indicate their capabilities for credit card payments and fax orders.
