This is a full and open competition solicitation; however, a 10 percent bid discount applies to bidders certified as Small or Micro-Local Business Enterprises (LBEs) by the Contract Monitoring Division, and an additional 1.25 percent discount applies to bidders with local San Francisco presence for taxable commodities. A 10 percent LBE discount (with a 5 percent bonus for SBA-certified LBEs) applies to estimated purchase order values between $400,000 and $10 million.

The scope requires a 2025 or current-year model John Deere 1025R sub-compact utility tractor or City-approved equivalent, rated at 18 horsepower PTO, with front loader, 60-inch mid-mounted mower deck, and pallet fork attachment. Equipment must be delivered with spare wheels and tires, safety equipment, lighting kits, operator manuals, and all components ready for immediate operation. The successful bidder must establish or access a service facility within 125 miles of San Francisco or provide mobile repair capability at no cost during the warranty period.

All equipment must comply with federal, state, and local safety and emissions standards including FMVSS, California Motor Vehicle Code, EPA, CARB, and OSHA requirements.
