The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming, located in Niobrara County, is seeking to procure one new 52,000 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) truck with a trash loader and dump body for its Forestry Division. The procurement requires a 2025-2026 model year vehicle consisting of three primary components: a long wheelbase cab chassis, a hydraulically operated telescoping knuckleboom trash loader, and an 18-foot, 24 cubic yard hardox steel dump body. The truck is designed as a complete, one-man-operated system for collecting oversized trash items such as appliances, furniture, brush, leaves, and building materials. Bidders must submit comprehensive specification sheets with clear "Y" or "N" markings for each line item, with non-compliance assumed for unclear responses. A mandatory in-person pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 8, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. at the Cheyenne Municipal Building, and questions must be submitted by January 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Sealed bids are due by January 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. through the City's eProcurement Portal, with City Council award presentation on February 9, 2026, and final approval anticipated on February 23, 2026.

The procurement includes specific requirements for Wyoming bidder preferences, with local residents receiving a 5% preference if their bid does not exceed 5% above the lowest nonresident bid. A bid guarantee of 5% of the total bid amount is required, with a Surcharge and Escalator Contingency provision of up to 15% to account for potential manufacturer surcharges. The vehicle must include a two-year, 100,000-mile non-prorated warranty covering parts and labor, with optional five-year extended warranties for engine/aftertreatment and transmission systems. The dump body requires a three-year structural warranty and one-year hydraulic warranty. Liquidated damages of $30.00 per item per calendar day will be assessed for delivery delays. The truck must meet specific technical specifications, including a Cummins 9.0L, 300 HP engine, Allison 3000 RDSP 6-speed transmission, and a loader with continuous production for at least fifteen years. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bid emphasizes responsive and qualified bidding. The title to the vehicle will be issued to the City of Cheyenne, with delivery to the Fleet Maintenance Shop at 2731 Old Happy Jack Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
