Dual Engine Six-Wheel Dustless Waterless Street Sweepers with Belt Conveyor PM 10 Compliant

The State of Nevada Purchasing Division, acting on behalf of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), is seeking competitive bids for new Dual Engine Six-Wheel Dustless Waterless Street Sweepers with Belt Conveyor that are PM 10 Compliant. This procurement specifically requires brand new equipment, with used, refurbished, demo, prototype, or gray market equipment explicitly prohibited. The technical specifications mandate a street sweeper capable of operating at altitudes up to 9,000 feet and road speeds up to 65 MPH, with comprehensive requirements covering frame construction, hydraulic and electrical systems, engine specifications, and broom configuration. Vendors must provide extensive documentation including two parts catalogs, two shop manuals, two operator's manuals, and electrical system schematics. The solicitation requires factory training (4 hours mechanical, 4 hours operator) in Reno, Carson City, and Las Vegas for 5-50 employees, and a complete pre-delivery service checking all vehicle systems. The bid was posted on March 13, 2025, with proposals due by April 7, 2025, through the NevadaEPro electronic procurement system, with strict submission deadlines that will reject quotes submitted even one second late.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does offer a 5% preference for Nevada-based businesses that can certify a majority of goods are produced in the state. Vendors must be licensed Nevada vehicle dealers with manufacturer-authorized service centers within Nevada, and must comply with federal safety regulations and Nevada Revised Statutes. The contract terms are valid for up to two years with potential annual extensions. Vendors are required to have appropriate licenses, permits, and insurance, including automobile liability coverage of $1,000,000 combined single limit. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest this is a significant capital equipment procurement. Successful bidders must provide a minimum one-year warranty starting from the NDOT "in-service" date, with full coverage of service call travel time and mileage in the first year. The solicitation also requires vendors to handle any potential manufacturer recall work and provide a Dealers Report of Sale (DRS) or Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO) made out to the Nevada Department of Transportation.
