IFB 161174 Dual Telescopic Dump Trailers

Craig County, Virginia is requesting bids on five dual telescopic tandem axle dump trailers (7 ft × 14 ft, 17,600 GVW, equipped with skid steer fork pockets) under IFB 161174, with bids due September 21, 2026. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) is mandatory; the Commonwealth of Virginia has established a goal that over 42% of its purchases be made from small businesses, and any proposed small-business participation percentages will be incorporated into the contract and become binding requirements.

Bidders must complete and submit Attachment A (State Corporation Commission Form) confirming Virginia business registration status or out-of-state status; failure to do so may result in bid rejection. If the bidder holds DSBSD (Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity) certification as a micro or small business, they need only provide the certification number and date. If not DSBSD-certified, Section B of the SBSP requires identification of subcontracted work and materials allocated to DSBSD-certified small businesses, including women-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, as a percentage of the bidder's total price for the initial contract period. Proposed subcontractors require prior written VDOT approval via Attachment C (Subcontracting Approval Request); primary contractors remain fully liable for subcontractor performance.

All equipment must meet detailed specifications including plastic material standards (Attachment F) and be delivered ready for use. Bidders must identify equipment manufacturers on Attachment E. Contact information for normal and emergency situations is required via Attachment D. All trailers are to be delivered ready for use.
