Concrete Saw

Waukesha County, Wisconsin is issuing Request for Bid (RFB) #2026006 for the procurement of a single concrete saw for Highway Operations. Bids must be submitted electronically through Waukesha County's Bonfire Purchasing Portal (https://waukeshacounty.bonfirehub.com/) by March 5, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. CDT/CST, with the bid opening conducted telephonically via dial-in access (262-896-8001, Participant Access Code: 2176082). The concrete saw must meet minimum specifications established by the county, and bidders are required to be authorized distributors or resellers who can provide evidence of authorization upon request. Award will be made to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder demonstrating full compliance with all specifications; any bidder selecting "Does Not Comply" for any requirement is automatically ineligible for award. Functionally equivalent equipment may be considered at the county's discretion following a demonstration completed within seven days of request. All quoted prices and conditions must remain firm for ninety calendar days from the opening date, with pricing excluding Federal Excise Tax and Wisconsin State Sales Tax due to the county's tax-exempt status. The contract will include an initial period with options for two one-year extensions subject to mutual agreement, and delivery must be on an F.O.B. destination basis with all transportation charges prepaid by the vendor.

There are no specific set-asides mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in this procurement. However, foreign entities must register with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions within ten business days of award but before contract execution to be eligible. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the bid documents. Waukesha County may require proof of financial stability and relevant experience prior to award. The county prefers payment via P-Card (VISA), with vendors required to absorb associated fees and indicate processing timelines; vendors unable to accept credit card payment will receive payment within thirty days of goods acceptance and invoice receipt. Bidders must acknowledge any bid amendments posted on the Bonfire website or risk bid rejection. Bid tabulations will be available to the public approximately ten days after the opening date on the Bonfire Procurement Portal, though no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation.
