One (1) Terminal Ramp Sweeper

The Savannah Airport Commission (SAC) in Chatham County, Georgia is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ 2026-0008) for the procurement of one brand-new Terminal Ramp Sweeper unit. The sweeper must be manufactured in the USA with no prior use or repair, include all standard interior and exterior features specified by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), comply with all applicable State and Federal safety and emissions regulations, and be of the latest model year with all standard equipment normally furnished. Key specifications include a gasoline engine mounted on a conventional cab chassis with chrome yellow paint, vinyl seats with black floor covering and heavy-duty floor mats, power windows and locks, heat and air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth and dual USB ports, and the capability to operate without requiring a Commercial Driver's License. The sweeper must perform both wet and dry sweeping and vacuuming operations with a low-profile design measuring 78 inches in height to access low-clearance areas such as parking decks. Required operational components include a hydraulic power system with minimum 3200 psi pressure, piston pump with direct transmission PTO drive, aluminum alloy blower with anti-friction bearings, cyclonic dust suppression system with 30-gallon minimum water storage capacity, stainless steel hopper with 2.5 to 3 cubic yard capacity, and dual-chamber pick-up head with minimum 78-inch width and 1804 square inch area. The successful vendor must provide comprehensive safety features including rear view camera system, LED amber beacon light, backup alarm, alternating LED bumper flashers, directional LED caution displays, and 2000-lumen white LED work lights, along with a five-year warranty on the sweeper unit and hydraulic system, a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper chassis warranty, and a minimum 60-month/100,000-mile drivetrain warranty. Vendors must supply operator's manuals and parts/service manuals in both paper and electronic formats, provide complimentary training courses at the manufacturer's facility, and furnish four sets of keys with fobs at delivery. The maintenance service location must be situated within 50 miles of Savannah, Georgia, and all pricing must be submitted as Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) including all associated costs such as shipping. The RFQ was posted on January 21, 2026, with a response deadline of February 24, 2026.

The procurement includes a Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) designation opportunity for vendors located within the geographic boundaries of the City of Savannah who can provide a City of Savannah Business Tax Certificate, supporting the Savannah First Initiative. Minority Business certification is also available as an alternative or additional designation option for qualifying entities that can submit a Minority Business Certificate. All vendors must complete and submit the Vendor Certification form, certifying that they have read and will comply with all specifications and requirements, guaranteeing that all items meet or exceed stated specifications, and confirming that responses are made without collusion or fraud. Vendors are required to submit complete responses with all required signatures, information, attachments, and forms including the Local Small Business/Minority Business Form, Specifications/Requirements Confirmation Form, Pricing Sheet, Exceptions Sheet, and Addendum Acknowledgement Form to receive consideration for award. Bidder prices are guaranteed for 90 days from submission. The RFQ documents do not specify an award value or budget range; however, the scope appears to represent a capital equipment acquisition for airport operations with costs likely covering a new specialized vehicle with comprehensive warranty and support services.
