D08 - (1) 1035 Gallon Herbicide Sprayer System

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), specifically District 8 located in Warren County, is seeking a procurement for a 1,035-gallon Herbicide Sprayer System to be installed on a pickup truck provided by ODOT. The RFQ requires vendors to submit a comprehensive sprayer system with specific technical specifications, including a centrifugal pump, 1-inch servo valve, flow meter, speed sensor, 3-section automatic rate controller, console ram mount assembly, and a 1,035-gallon elliptical leg tank. The system must be compatible with a 2025 Chevrolet Crew Cab 4x4 with an 11-foot flatbed truck and include features such as a rear spray boom assembly, electric actuator controls, an aluminum spray gun with a 50-foot manual hose reel, and a minimum 5HP gas engine. Vendors must provide the lowest net delivered price, which includes all delivery and installation charges, with the delivery designated as Free on Board (F.O.B.) to the ODOT District 8 Office in Lebanon, Ohio. The RFQ was posted on October 30, 2025, with a response deadline of November 14, 2025. Successful vendors must also provide complete PDF service and parts manuals for all equipment and attachments.

The procurement appears to be open to both ODOT and political subdivisions, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types mentioned in the documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided materials. The contract does not specify guaranteed minimum quantities, and while a precise budget range is not explicitly stated, vendors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing that includes the sprayer system, delivery, and installation. Vendors must complete the attached Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires disclosure of service locations and compliance with Executive Orders prohibiting offshore service performance. The contract mandates that all equipment include the manufacturer's standard warranty, and successful bidders must adhere to standard ODOT terms and conditions, which include maintaining specific insurance coverages such as Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 minimum), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 minimum), Workers' Compensation, and Cyber Liability insurance ($5,000,000 minimum for IT solutions).
