The City of Cartersville, located in Barrow County, Georgia, is soliciting competitive bids for the procurement of seven municipal vehicles through Request for Proposal (RFP) 25_011. The vehicle procurement includes a diverse fleet composition: one two-wheel drive SUV, three half-ton 4-wheel drive extended cab pickup trucks, two one-ton dual rear wheel diesel trucks with dump beds, and one two-wheel drive crew cab short box work truck. Each vehicle has detailed specifications requiring vendors to provide comprehensive documentation, including current model year vehicles with specific engine configurations, transmission types, power features, and color preferences. Vendors must submit a detailed compliance matrix with supporting catalog pages or specification sheets, demonstrating precise alignment with the city's requirements. The bid submission deadline is September 3, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. EST, with bid prices required to remain valid for 60 days following the submission deadline. All vehicle deliveries will be coordinated through Bill Trott at the City of Cartersville Garage, located at 500 S. Tennessee Street.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete several mandatory certifications, including a Non-Collusion Affidavit, Bidders Declaration, Certificate of Non-Discrimination, and Drug-Free Workplace Certificate. Compliance with state regulations, particularly O.C.G.A. Section 50-24-1 through 50-24-6, is required, with vendors expected to demonstrate non-discriminatory employment practices. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive vehicle specifications suggest a substantial municipal investment in fleet infrastructure. The City of Cartersville reserves the right to reject any or all bids, indicating a competitive selection process focused on identifying the most advantageous proposal that meets the municipality's operational requirements. Potential bidders are advised to carefully review all specification documents and contact the designated point of contact for any equipment-related inquiries to ensure full compliance with the bid requirements.
