About this opportunity

Portage County, Wisconsin, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive road equipment and truck rental contract through its Purchasing Department. The county seeks to establish a call list and contracts with owner/operators of quad-axle trucks and various road building equipment for county road projects and roadway maintenance. Specific equipment requirements include trucks with rear tow bar capability for chip seal machines, as well as graders, dozers, pavers, milling machines, diggers, rollers, and logging equipment. Bidders must submit unit prices that include transportation, fuel, equipment, and operator costs. To qualify, vendors must demonstrate three years of business experience operating trucks or road building equipment, provide three references from similar service contracts within the past five years, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial liability and motor vehicle insurance. The bid submission deadline is February 27, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with a public opening following immediately at the Portage County Purchasing Department. Potential bidders must submit any questions by February 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest net unit price bidders who are responsive and meet all specifications, with the possibility of multiple vendors receiving awards. The contract term will run for 12 months from the date of award, with potential extensions requiring mutual agreement. Pricing must remain firm throughout the contract period, with no increases allowed, though market condition reductions are permitted. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The county is exempt from federal excise and Wisconsin sales taxes, and all subcontracting requires pre-approval, with the prime contractor remaining responsible for subcontractor work and payment. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract allows for itemized invoicing, with payments processed within 30 days of receipt by the Portage County Highway Department. The procurement appears open to qualified truck and equipment owners/operators who can meet the specified insurance, experience, and operational requirements.
