About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Prairie du Chien Area School District in Wisconsin is seeking proposals for a commercial front lawn mower tractor through a competitive bidding process. The procurement targets a specific heavy-duty equipment unit with comprehensive technical requirements, including a 72-inch or wider side discharge mower deck with hydraulic lift, a 60-inch heavy duty rotary broom, front quick-attach system, and full-time 4-wheel drive. The tractor must feature a 37.4 horsepower or larger diesel engine, hydrostatic power steering, turf tires, a factory-installed comfort cab, and cab top strobe safety light. Proposals are due by 12:00 noon on July 19, 2017, at the Prairie du Chien High School Office, addressed to Luke Lucas. The evaluation criteria extend beyond lowest cost, emphasizing best value, service, and long-term expense considerations. Bidders must provide detailed specifications, warranty information, pricing breakdown, and include on-site safety and operational training. The school district reserves the right to reject any proposals and will consider factors that best serve the district's interests.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the proposal requires the successful bidder to deliver a "turn key" ready-to-use tractor, including all freight and setup costs delivered directly to the high school site. The procurement does not explicitly state a specific budget range or award value, though vendors must provide itemized pricing with clear identification of included items, potential add-ons, and recommended options with associated costs. The district emphasized a comprehensive evaluation approach that goes beyond simple price comparison, suggesting flexibility in potential contract award. The successful vendor must also provide a safety DVD or safety web-link as part of the contract requirements, indicating a focus on operational safety and training.
