Forklift Supply– Environmental Depot

The Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD) is soliciting bids for a forklift procurement to replace two existing units at the Environmental Depot located in South Burlington, Vermont. The specific requirement is for a single, new internal combustion (IC) forklift to be deployed at 1011 Airport Parkway. This request for bid (RFB) is focused on acquiring a material handling equipment solution that will support the district's operational needs. The procurement is specifically targeted for Chittenden County and is scheduled to be open for bidding from June 25, 2025, with proposals due by July 11, 2025. While detailed evaluation criteria were not explicitly provided in the available documentation, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the technical specifications for an industrial forklift capable of replacing two existing units.

Due to limited documentation available, specific details regarding set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or precise budget ranges could not be definitively confirmed. The procurement appears to be a standard municipal equipment replacement project without clear indications of specific enterprise or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. No incumbent vendor information was identifiable from the provided contract opportunity materials. The solicitation suggests this is a direct equipment replacement project with the primary objective of maintaining the Environmental Depot's material handling capabilities. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide a new internal combustion forklift that meets the district's operational requirements, though specific technical specifications were not fully detailed in the available documentation.
