AGO472000-2025 Bobcat- PI 34585

Mahoning County, Ohio is seeking to procure a 2025 Bobcat AT450 32hp Kubota gas liquid-cooled mower through a quick quote procurement process for agricultural or grounds maintenance purposes. The specific requirement is for a machine capable of mowing over 20 acres per week, which will directly replace an existing Steiner 450 (Diesel) with 400 hours of use. Bidders are required to provide a trade-in value for the existing Steiner 450 as part of their bid response, with the understanding that the equipment is being sold "as-is" and cannot be returned after purchase. The solicitation, identified by reference number AGO472000-2025 Bobcat- PI 34585, was posted on September 15, 2025, with bid responses due by September 22, 2025. The procurement involves a unique trade-in component where the offered trade-in value will be directly deducted from the purchase price of the new equipment. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive bid responses that include both the new equipment pricing and the trade-in valuation for the existing Steiner 450.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or vendor restrictions were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard local government equipment replacement initiative for Mahoning County. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the procurement involves replacing an existing piece of grounds maintenance equipment with a comparable model. The solicitation suggests the county is seeking a direct equipment swap with minimal financial complexity beyond the net purchase price after trade-in. No incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements were mentioned in the available documentation. The quick quote process and tight timeline between posting and response deadline indicate an expedited procurement approach typical of local government equipment acquisitions.
