The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is seeking bids for front-mounted, self-propelled non-pickup sweepers through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with Event Number EVT0010225. The primary procurement is for two sweepers to be delivered to the Chanute District 4 location at 411 W Fourteenth St, Chanute, KS 66720, with an optional pricing scenario for three additional units through December 31, 2025. The sweepers must meet specific technical requirements, including a diesel engine with at least 74 horsepower, a 12-volt electrical system, specific cab and brush configurations, and a water dust control system. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive documentation, including technical specifications, compliance documentation, and detailed product literature. The bid was initially posted on March 19, 2025, with the original closing date of April 23, 2025, but has been amended to extend the closing to May 13, 2025. Bidders must submit questions by April 13, 2025, and are expected to provide unit pricing, optional warranty pricing, and potential brush head configurations.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference provisions, specifically the Bidder Preference Program which offers advantages to Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses, Certified Businesses, and State Use Purchases. Political subdivisions are permitted to utilize this contract, though the state assumes no responsibility for payments by these entities. Bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate and comply with various state requirements, including submitting forms related to Immigration Reform and Control, Sexual Harassment, and Boycott of Israel. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the bid allows for optional pricing of additional units and warranty extensions. The contract period is defined from the date of contract execution through May 30, 2030, providing potential long-term procurement flexibility. Bids must be submitted in U.S. Dollars, with shipping terms specified as FOB Destination, Prepaid and Allowed, meaning delivery costs are included in the bid price. The procurement will be conducted through the State of Kansas SMART Strategic Sourcing System, with the procurement officer Phillip Curtis available for potential vendor inquiries.
