D11 - Tractor Rental

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), specifically District 11, is seeking to rent a tractor for an estimated four-month period, with specific requirements for the equipment. The desired tractor must be equivalent to or similar to a John Deere 6120E Cab Tractor, with mandatory specifications including 120+ horsepower, a standard cab, air suspension seat with swivel, triple deluxe SCV with ISO breakaway couplers, heavy-duty hitch, and 4-wheel drive front axle. Additional required features include a rotating warning light, front suitcase weights, backup alarm kit, and radio. The tractor will be delivered to and picked up from 36606 US Route 30 in Lisbon, Ohio 44432. The solicitation, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 6838dc703aa1240565022a2c, was posted on May 29, 2025, with proposals due by June 13, 2025. Vendors are expected to provide a comprehensive monthly rental bid that includes all fees and delivery costs, with ODOT providing self-insurance for the equipment.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. Vendors must complete and submit the Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires transparency about service locations and data management, including disclosures about principal business locations and potential subcontractor details. The procurement is subject to the Standard Terms and Conditions outlined in the attached PDF, which cover critical aspects of contracting such as invoice processes, non-discrimination requirements, and potential contract termination. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the rental is anticipated to cover a four-month period, and vendors should factor in comprehensive costs including equipment, delivery, and potential additional service requirements. Prospective bidders must carefully review the attached government files, particularly the Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions, to ensure full compliance with ODOT's procurement guidelines.
