Bid request new current production CAT 150/john deere 770 GP

Tattnall County is seeking bids for a new current production Cat 150/John Deere 770 GP tandem drive motor grader through a competitive sealed bid process. The procurement requires vendors to provide a motor grader with specific technical specifications, including detailed requirements for engine power, transmission, hydraulics, axles, tires, cab features, and moldboard size. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Tattnall County Courthouse, with the final bid deadline set for Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. Bids must be submitted via UPS, FedEx, or hand delivery to the Tattnall County Commissioners, clearly marked "SEALED MOTOR GRADER BID 2025-18". The procurement offers two acquisition options: a direct purchase or a 5-year lease with a guaranteed buyback arrangement. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including the motor grader itself, operator's manual, service manual, parts manual, and complete warranty information.

The bid documentation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The procurement appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications for the motor grader. While the exact budget range is not explicitly stated, the bid package requires vendors to submit pricing for both the outright purchase and the 5-year lease option, including a guaranteed buyback price. The motor grader will be delivered to the County Shop, suggesting this is a standard equipment replacement or expansion procurement for the county's infrastructure and maintenance operations. No incumbent vendor information is disclosed, and there are no explicit references to integration requirements with existing county equipment or technology systems.
