Earth & Turf Top Dresser

The City of Fairfax, Virginia is requesting sealed bids for a new and unused Earth & Turf Top Dresser, part number Multi-Spread 415 SP, with bids due September 14, 2026. No product substitutes will be accepted — this is a single-source specification that gates all responsive bids.

Bidders must be either the manufacturer or an authorized reseller certified by the manufacturer and must have been in business for a minimum of five years. Three references from state, county, federal, or commercial entities for comparable procurements within the past two years are required.

The equipment must feature a 48-inch brush expeller, operating speeds up to seven miles per hour, a minimum 22 horsepower engine, and a minimum 2,000-pound capacity. Delivery is to 3410 Pickett Road, Fairfax, VA 22031, and bidders must provide estimated delivery timeframe in days after receipt of order.

The pricing structure includes a base bid for the Top Dresser plus delivery cost, followed by two additive bid items: an Aerator and a Seeder Box, each with associated part numbers. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on total base bid amount plus any additive items the City selects. Bidders may offer prompt payment discount terms and must provide warranty information per the manufacturer's standard terms.

Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, employer's liability of $100,000, and workers' compensation at statutory requirements. Payment is due 30 days after invoice or delivery, whichever occurs last. All bids are binding for ninety calendar days following bid opening. The City is exempt from state sales tax and federal excise taxes.
