Motor Grader

Miller County, Georgia is soliciting sealed bids for the procurement of one new diesel-powered motor grader for the Miller County Road Department. The bid requires a 2024 year model motor grader with specific technical specifications, including 175 net horsepower, a 150 amp alternator, variable horsepower, tinted windows, emergency fuel kill switch, outside mirrors, 42,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, and 1400 x R24 premium brand radial tires. Comprehensive technical requirements also include multi-piece rims, air conditioning, a factory-installed radio with Bluetooth, and numerous additional detailed specifications. The bid is scheduled to be accepted until Friday, October 10, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., with public bid opening on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. during the county commissioners' regular meeting. Vendors are required to provide precise responses to each specification and may include supporting documentation like catalog pages or specification sheets.

Local vendors from Colquitt and Miller County must possess valid city and/or county business licenses to be eligible for consideration. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and requires bidders to disclose potential conflicts of interest, such as familial relationships with county commissioners. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single motor grader, suggesting a significant capital equipment investment. Bidders must complete a comprehensive bid form and have the option to submit a "no bid" statement if unable to meet the specified requirements. The procurement appears to be an open competitive bid without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, focusing instead on technical compliance and local business participation.
