Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works is issuing an Informal Request for Bids for the procurement of a Sanitary Excavator Trailer. The solicitation was posted on March 24, 2026, with a due date of March 26, 2026, providing a compressed two-day bidding window for interested vendors. The procurement seeks a factory-built excavator trailer with various optional configurations available to bidders, including specifications such as a paver package with beavertail and ramps, tread plate, lockable toolbox lid, spare tires and wheels, additional deck length, tie-down rings, spring assist on ramps, safety steps, bucket rest, traction strips, and swivel D-rings. Bidders must submit complete pricing information that remains firm for 60 days from submission, along with availability, lead time, shipping costs, and any additional applicable charges. All prospective vendors must be registered in the Infor electronic purchasing system and with the Cuyahoga County Inspector General's Office, and the selling dealer must maintain a physical location within the State of Ohio. In the event of materially increased costs due to changes in United States tariff policies, vendors may request price increases only when accompanied by supporting documentation, including Rules of Origin documentation, with the County reserving the right to reject inadequately documented increase requests.

The solicitation does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises based on the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the solicitation materials provided. The Independent Cost Estimate document has been prepared by the County to establish baseline pricing expectations and cost parameters that will inform the evaluation of submitted bids and ensure transparent evaluation standards; however, the specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the summary materials. Vendors should contact the Cuyahoga County Purchasing Department for detailed registration requirements and additional procurement specifications to ensure full compliance with all County requirements prior to bid submission.
