Front mount plow and wing for artiqulated wheel loader

The City of Sun Prairie Public Works Department in Wisconsin is seeking to procure a front mount plow and wing system for an articulated wheel loader through a Request for Bids (RFB). The specific procurement involves one new front mount 12-foot reversible plow with a full trip edge featuring five hinge points and one 10-foot wing plow with a 9-foot full trip edge and four torsion springs, including all associated hydraulic equipment and controls. Bids were due by 2:00 p.m. local time on April 13, 2021, with a public bid opening scheduled for the same date at City Hall. The equipment was originally required to be delivered and operational by September 1, 2021, for the 2021-2022 snow season, but Addendum #1 modified the completion timeline to 75 days after receipt of the articulated wheel loader at the vendor's premises. Bidders were required to examine contract documents, visit the site, and submit complete proposals with written and numerical prices, including all applicable taxes. The City reserved the right to award the contract to the lowest qualified, responsible, and responsive bidder within sixty days of the bid opening.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The bid requires contractors to maintain a permanent business, possess adequate equipment, demonstrate financial stability, and provide appropriate technical experience with satisfactory performance records. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with an umbrella liability coverage of $5,000,000 per occurrence. Contractors must also comply with Federal and State OSHA requirements and Wisconsin Prevailing Wage Laws. Payment terms allow for settlement of properly submitted invoices within thirty days of receipt, contingent upon successful delivery, installation, and acceptance of the equipment. While no specific award value or budget range was provided, the successful bidder must execute and file the contract within ten days of award acceptance. The procurement focuses on obtaining a high-quality snow removal equipment solution for the City of Sun Prairie's public works operations.
