The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife is soliciting bids through an Invitation for Quote (DQ1 2015*499) for the procurement of a single new D6K2XL track-type tractor to be delivered to the Escalante State Wildlife Area in Delta, Colorado. The solicitation specifies detailed technical requirements, including a basic operating weight not less than 29,346 pounds, a ROPS cab, VPAT bulldozer blade, six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine producing at least 130 horsepower, hydrostatic drive system, and electronic controls. The equipment must meet EPA Tier 4 Interim and European Union Stage IIIB emission standards and include a standard 12-month unlimited hours warranty with parts and labor coverage, plus a 5-year/7,500-hour governmental extended coverage plan. Pricing must include all freight and shipping costs on an F.O.B. Destination basis, with the State of Colorado assuming no responsibility for shipping expenses. Bids are due November 5, 2014, at 11:00 AM MST, with delivery required by January 15, 2015, and must be submitted to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Procurement Office at 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, or via email to dnr_cpw_bids@state.co.us. All vendors must be registered in the State of Colorado's Vendor Self-Service (VSS) system to be considered responsive, and a service center must be located within forty miles of Delta, Colorado.

The procurement includes a trade-in allowance for a 2005 Caterpillar D5N XL tractor (Serial Number AGG01585 with approximately 4,580 hours), with bids requiring separate line item pricing for the new D6K2XL tractor and the trade-in allowance. The solicitation documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor do they identify disadvantaged enterprise requirements. All bidders must comply with the State of Colorado's standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, which require vendors to maintain appropriate insurance coverage, comply with all applicable federal and state laws including E-Verify employment eligibility verification, and accept the State's right to terminate contracts for cause or in the public interest. The contract is governed by Colorado state law with venue in Denver, Colorado. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation documents; however, the total contract value will be determined by the winning bid's pricing for the new equipment minus the trade-in allowance for the existing tractor.
