One Time Purchase of Various Plow Blades

Macomb County, Michigan is seeking sealed bids for a one-time purchase of various plow blades through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-16, targeting road maintenance equipment for four county service centers located in New Haven, Clinton Township, Washington Township, and Shelby Township. The procurement specifically includes 125 5-foot underbody blades, 350 6-foot grader blades, 150 9-foot wing plow blades, and 9 10-foot cutting edges for Henderson plows. Bidders must provide unit prices for each blade type at each service center location, with the understanding that individual items and locations may be awarded separately. The bid requires single bevel blades meeting precise metallurgical and dimensional specifications, with strict delivery requirements including open bed truck delivery between 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and mandatory 24-hour advance notification prior to delivery. The bid is scheduled to be due on May 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, with bid prices required to remain firm for 90 days following contract award. Evaluation criteria include compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and overall responsiveness to the bid requirements.

The procurement appears to have standard government contracting requirements, including a non-collusion affidavit, Iran Economic Sanctions Act certification, E-Verify program participation, and a vendor disclosure form. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, bidders must meet standard legal and operational compliance standards. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to negotiate contract terms, providing flexibility in the procurement process. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the blade procurement suggests a potentially significant contract value. No incumbent vendors are identified in the current documentation, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology are noted beyond the technical specifications for the plow blades themselves.
