Can-Am Defender Max XT

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) Fleet Department is seeking competitive bids for the procurement of one (1) 2025 Can-Am Defender MAX XT HD10 utility vehicle through Bid #25-202-B. The solicitation targets ATV dealers and requires the delivery of a specific off-road utility vehicle with a Rotax V-twin engine producing 82 horsepower, Dusty Navy color, 6-person capacity, Dynamic Power Steering, and a 1,700 lbs payload capacity. Key deliverables include a one-year factory warranty and vehicle delivery within 60 days of the purchase order to the NTMWD Wylie Service Center. Bids were due on August 25, 2025, at 11:30 AM Central Time, with submission options including electronic submission via ntmwd.bonfirehub.com or hard copy delivery to the NTMWD Procurement Department in Wylie, Texas. The bid evaluation appears to focus on compliance with specifications, pricing, and overall responsiveness to the detailed vehicle requirements outlined in the solicitation packet.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. Two vendors submitted bids: Logistics 365, Inc. with a total bid of $31,329.00 and Richmond Equipment with a lower bid of $29,707.08. The NTMWD noted that the bid listing does not constitute automatic acceptance, and the district will make a final determination of bid responsiveness based on compliance with applicable laws, purchasing guidelines, and project documents. The bid includes provisions for cooperative purchasing and potential secondary vendor awards, providing flexibility in the procurement process. The tax-exempt NTMWD will not be responsible for additional costs beyond the bid price, and the final award will depend on a comprehensive evaluation of the submitted proposals. The procurement appears to be a standard municipal fleet replacement effort with a budget range between $29,707 and $31,329 for the specified utility vehicle.
