The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming, located in Niobrara County, is seeking to procure one new recycling vacuum and high-pressure water jet truck with a 66,000 GVWR for its Street and Alley Division through a sealed bid process. The procurement requires a comprehensive, fully integrated vehicle system combining a heavy-duty truck chassis with specialized sewer pipe cleaning and maintenance equipment. Specific requirements include a 2024 model year or newer truck with a Cummins X-15 diesel engine producing at least 500 horsepower, Allison 4500 RDS-P transmission, and comprehensive safety features. The truck must feature a modular design with stainless steel tanks, a liquid ring vacuum pump capable of 1,800 CFM, high-pressure jetting capabilities at 2,900 PSI with 85 gallons per minute, and an integrated recycling system with self-cleaning filtration. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory in-person pre-bid meeting on January 8, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., a question submission deadline of January 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and a bid submission and opening deadline of January 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.

The procurement includes a 5 percent Wyoming resident bidder preference, contingent on no federal funding involvement. A bid guarantee of 5 percent of the total bid amount is required, with an additional contingency of up to 15 percent to account for manufacturer surcharges and model year escalators. Liquidated damages of 0.10 percent of the per-item price or $30.00 per calendar day will be assessed for late delivery. The successful bidder must provide 40 hours of on-site operator training, comprehensive manuals, diagnostic equipment and software training, and manufacturer warranties covering 48 months/50,000 miles on the base vehicle. While no specific set-aside for disadvantaged enterprises is mentioned, the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting minimum specifications. The City anticipates City Council final approval on February 23, 2026, with an estimated purchase order issuance date of February 24, 2026, and delivery to the City Fleet Maintenance facility with all pre-delivery inspections completed.
