Heavy Equipment Trailer

The Charter Township of Chesterfield in Macomb County, Michigan, is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of one new Heavy Equipment Tilt Trailer through Request for Proposals RFP-2025-FO-107. The primary specification references a Texas Pride 8.5'x 17'+8' Wood Deck Gravity Tilt Trailer with 20K GWVR Bumper Pull, though alternate makes and models meeting or exceeding these specifications will be considered. Vendors must submit comprehensive technical specifications and supporting documentation for evaluation, with a specific focus on a 20,000lb dual axle 25' trailer configuration. The bid requires detailed pricing submissions on a provided price sheet (Appendix B), allowing for both primary and alternate option pricing. Sealed bids will be received until 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at the Township Clerk's office located at 47275 Sugarbush Road, Chesterfield, Michigan. Potential vendors must submit all inquiries to Jeremy Jaques via email at facilities@chesterfieldtwp.org by September 2, 2025, and are required to obtain bid documents from the Township Clerk's Office or BidNet website.

The township is tax-exempt and will not require bonding for this contract. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The procurement allows for submission on individual items or groups of items, with the township reserving the right to accept any bid and adjust quantities as needed. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned, the bid appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are noted in the documentation. Though a specific award value is not disclosed, the scope suggests a moderate-scale equipment procurement for municipal infrastructure needs. The township will evaluate submissions based on technical compliance, pricing, and the ability to meet or exceed the specified trailer requirements, with a focus on finding the most suitable equipment for the township's operational needs.
