Furnish and Deliver Four (4) Box Trucks

The Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) is seeking to procure four (4) 2025 Mack MD6 42R vehicles with customized box enclosures/bodies for delivery to 4060 Sunrise Highway in Oakdale, NY. The solicitation requires vendors to provide fully customized trucks with specific technical specifications, including a 12' box with 90" inside height, a liftgate, custom storage solutions, exterior and interior lighting, and hose reels. Proposals must be submitted electronically through BidNetDirect.com by September 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, with all questions to be directed to Steve Blevins (Steven.Blevins@scwa.com) no later than 72 hours before the response due date. The evaluation criteria will consider multiple factors including price, vendor experience, responsibility, delivery capabilities, and vendor classifications. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including specification sheets, build details, and any exceptions to the outlined specifications. The procurement process emphasizes best value selection, with SCWA reserving the right to evaluate bids based on multiple considerations beyond just pricing.

The solicitation encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, small local business enterprises, and Preferred Sources, with these classifications potentially serving as positive factors in vendor selection. Vendors must complete a detailed contact information form that allows for self-identification as minority-owned or woman-owned businesses. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the requirement for four customized box trucks suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The trucks will be purchased under SCWA's standard Terms and Conditions unless otherwise negotiated, and vendors must be prepared to transfer all factory and industry-standard warranties to SCWA. Bidders are expected to provide all necessary paperwork for vehicle registration and insurance, demonstrating comprehensive service capabilities beyond mere vehicle delivery. The solicitation's detailed technical requirements and emphasis on vendor qualifications indicate a rigorous selection process aimed at securing high-quality, reliable commercial vehicles for the Suffolk County Water Authority's operational needs.
