Gooseneck Trailer

The Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks is seeking bids for a 34-foot gooseneck trailer to be used at the Wilson Wildlife Area. The procurement is a competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) process targeting suppliers capable of providing a low pro flatdeck gooseneck trailer with specific technical specifications. The trailer must have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 25,000 lbs, dual 12,000 lb oil bath axles, 14-ply tires, a 102-inch overall deck width, and a 5-foot dovetail with spring-assisted ramps. Bidders must submit their quotes by 2:00 PM CST on December 4, 2024, with all questions regarding the RFQ required to be submitted by November 22, 2024. The delivery deadline for the trailer is set for December 9, 2024, with the trailer to be shipped to the Procurement and Contracts office in Topeka, Kansas. Evaluation will focus on responsiveness to specifications, pricing, and compliance with state requirements, with the contract being awarded to the lowest responsive bidder.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with several state policies, including obtaining a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, providing documentation related to immigration reform, sexual harassment policy, and certifications regarding boycotts of Israel. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the RFQ indicates this is a single-unit procurement with no mentioned renewal options. Bidders must submit their proposal in US Dollars and are required to provide a signed signature sheet, complete tax clearance instructions, and various certifications. The State of Kansas reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and can terminate the contract due to lack of funding appropriation. Potential vendors should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the detailed requirements outlined in the RFQ documents.
