Heavy Equipment Lease - Short Term

The Georgia Department of Transportation issued an RFQ for short-term heavy equipment leasing on an as-needed basis to support maintenance operations, with quotations due September 7, 2021. The solicitation has closed and awards were issued; this opportunity is no longer active.

GDOT categorized requirements into core equipment and miscellaneous non-core equipment. The contract structure is an open contract with multiple awardees, allowing flexible ordering as needs arise rather than fixed quarterly or annual volumes.

Five vendors were selected as successful offerors: G J & L, Inc. D/B/A Border Equipment, Herc Rentals, Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Co., Inc., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., and Yancey Bros Co. Each received an estimated contract amount of $551,604.80; these figures are estimates only given the open contract nature. One unsuccessful offeror, Synergy Rents, LLC, was rejected for failure to submit the mandatory cost worksheet required for evaluation.

All five successful offerors satisfied administrative compliance requirements, including Georgia tax clearance, non-collusion certification, security and immigration compliance affidavits, and state and federal debarment and suspension checks. No awardees qualified as women-owned, veteran-owned, or minority-owned businesses. The administrative review identified five Georgia-domiciled companies and one North Carolina-based vendor among the six initial bidders.
