Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck Cab and Chassis

The City of Craig, Colorado is seeking bids for a Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck Cab and Chassis, with a procurement focused on acquiring a new tandem axle truck specifically designed for municipal sewer cleaning operations. The bid solicitation requires a current model year truck with detailed technical specifications, including a Cummins diesel engine with 450 horsepower, specific transmission and differential characteristics, comprehensive braking and steering systems, and precise cab features. Bidders must provide complete printed literature, publications, and photographs of the proposed unit, individually annotating each specification item as meeting, exceeding, or not meeting the requirements. The bid is due on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall, located at 300 West Fourth Street in Craig, Colorado, with the award currently scheduled for the November 25, 2025, City Council meeting. Interested vendors must submit bids on the provided bid form, with a minimum 12-month parts and labor warranty, and options for extended warranties on emissions, engine, and transmission. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may consider trading in a 2005 International Vac-Con Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck as part of the procurement.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly mentioned in the bid documentation. The procurement does not appear to have specific requirements for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. While no incumbent vendors were directly identified, the city is potentially looking to replace an existing 2005 International Vac-Con Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck. The bid process allows for comprehensive pricing, including the cab and chassis, extended warranties, and potential trade-in value. Although a specific budget range was not provided, the detailed technical specifications suggest this is a significant municipal infrastructure investment. Interested bidders are encouraged to contact City Clerk Katie Carmody at (970)826-2008 or kcarmody@ci.craig.co.us for additional specifications and bid information. The City of Craig emphasizes that the most appropriate equipment will be selected, which may not necessarily be the lowest bid.
