The procurement seeks pricing for a Walker 25 HP mower with a 52-inch deck, specifically requesting quotes for one Walker mower unit (MTGHS25i), one 52-inch HD catch deck with reverse rotation (DC52R-2), and one low-pro tire exchange (LP8075), with delivery required to the Larimer Campus.

Quotes were due by November 12, 2014, at 2:00 PM, submitted to the college's Purchasing Office in Westminster, Colorado. The college evaluated quotes based on the lowest most responsive and responsible bidder, considering pricing, specification compliance, and the vendor's demonstrated ability to provide quality goods and services at the college's sole judgment. All quotes must be exclusive of federal and state taxes, with the college providing its sales tax exemption number (98-02565) upon request.

Vendors were required to be registered on the Colorado BIDS system prior to the November 12, 2014 quote deadline; non-registered vendors' quotes would only be considered if adequate competition among registered vendors was not demonstrated. The procurement included no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the solicitation materials. The college reserved the right to purchase additional goods and services at the same bid prices or lower within a reasonable timeframe following the award. Award was contingent upon vendor compliance with Colorado employment statutes regarding illegal aliens, and the college reserved the right to reject any or all quotes. No alternate terms and conditions would be accepted, and formal contracts would not be utilized for this procurement.
