About this opportunity

Portage County, Wisconsin is soliciting bids from owner/operators of quad-axle trucks and road building equipment to establish a call list and contracts for county road projects and roadway maintenance. The procurement seeks various equipment types including quad-axle trucks with rear tow bar capability, chip seal machines, graders, dozers, pavers, milling machines, diggers, rollers, and logging equipment. Bidders must submit hourly rate pricing with operator costs included, and provide three references from similar work performed within the past five years. Contractors must demonstrate at least three years of experience operating trucks or road building equipment. The bid documents require vendors to maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1 million in commercial liability and motor vehicle insurance. Key submission details include a bid deadline of March 16, 2021 at 2:00 PM, with bids to be delivered to the Portage County Purchasing Department at 1462 Strongs Ave, Stevens Point, WI 54481. Vendors must submit an original and one copy of their bid with required attachments, and any questions about specifications must be submitted in writing to Chris Schultz, Procurement Director, by March 3, 2021.

The contract will have a 12-month term from the date of award, with potential extensions contingent on mutual agreement between the vendor and county. Award will be made to the lowest net unit price from a responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with the potential for multiple contractors to be selected based on availability and timeliness. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. Contractors are prohibited from increasing pricing during the contract period, though price reductions may occur due to market conditions. The county is exempt from federal excise and Wisconsin sales taxes under CES number ES 43251. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement suggests a flexible approach to selecting equipment and truck operators for various road maintenance and construction projects. The bid process allows for a diverse pool of equipment providers to potentially participate in county infrastructure work.
