Heavy Duty Galvanized Trailer-Sauber MFG CO

Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida is issuing a Notice of Intent to Sole Source one heavy-duty galvanized trailer from Sauber MFG CO., with quotations due August 3, 2026 at 12:00 PM. This is a sole-source procurement — KUA's market research determined that Sauber is the only source capable of meeting the specialized utility requirements and custom specifications.

The trailer must be custom-built to KUA's specifications for transporting rigging material on jobsites, with overall dimensions of 20 feet by 96 inches, a load area of 168 inches by 64 inches, and an 18,800-pound GVWR. The trailer must feature a removable reel holder for wire pulling with 72-inch diameter by 56-inch width reel capacity, 24-inch stainless steel sides and tailgate, galvanized reel bar with bronze positioning collars, sealed breakaway braking system, LED lighting, and stainless steel tie-downs. Hot-dipped galvanized finish is mandatory for corrosion resistance and durability in off-road jobsite conditions. The trailer must withstand heavy-duty utility operations.

Warranties include 10-year structural and parts coverage on Sauber-manufactured components and 10-year galvanized finish protection. Prospective vendors must submit written quotations with detailed goods and services information and documentation substantiating that their offerings meet or exceed specifications. All submissions are required through KUA's VendorLink procurement portal at https://www.myvendorlink.com/. Vendors must complete and submit a separate Certificate of Confidentiality with their quotations; bidders who fail to properly label proprietary or trade secret information forfeit protection under Florida Statutes Chapter 119.07.
