The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, specifically Blue Rock State Forest located in Montgomery County, is procuring a Gooseneck Trailer through an OhioBuys Request for Quotation (RFQ). The trailer specifications require a 102" width, 30-35' usable deck length, 17,000 lbs. load capacity, dual axle configuration, and specific features including a treated wooden deck, full electric brake system, dovetail ramps, and working lights. The procurement is scheduled for delivery by July 11th, 2025, with the trailer needing to be available within 80 driving miles of Blue Rock, Ohio. Award will be determined by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, calculated through a low lot total methodology that multiplies unit costs by estimated usage. The due date for this solicitation is June 3rd, 2025, and the contract is valid only through June 30th, 2025, requiring any subsequent procurement to involve a new purchase order. The solicitation includes standard Ohio state contracting requirements that mandate compliance with various administrative and legal provisions. Contractors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires transparency about service and data locations, and an OPERS Independent Contractor Form acknowledging their non-employee status. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the Standard Terms and Conditions document suggests provisions for minority and diversity business enterprise participation. The state's procurement documents emphasize strict compliance protocols, including mandatory insurance coverage, confidentiality provisions, and prohibitions on offshore services. Invoicing must be submitted directly to Financial Shared Services with specific documentation requirements, and no Ohio state sales tax should be applied to the transaction. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed specifications and procurement process indicate a structured approach to acquiring the specialized trailer for state forest operations.
