The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Purchasing Division is issuing a Request for Quotation for the procurement of a 2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 Trail Side-by-Side or equivalent vehicle to support the Parks & Recreation Division. The vehicle must be delivered to 17704 East Sullivan Avenue, Palmer, Alaska 99645, and must be in ready-to-use condition by May 31, 2026.

Required exterior features include front and rear brush guards, sealed cab, front glass windshield, solid roof and doors, solid rear window, rear dump bed, and LED pod lights. Quotations must reflect the best net price FOB destination, including all delivery charges but excluding applicable taxes, and the Borough will award the contract to the vendor with the lowest total quote price with a maximum budget cap of $50,000. All quotations are due by Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM AKDT, and all questions or requests for clarification must be directed exclusively to the Borough Purchasing Office at Purchasing@matsugov.us, as inquiries directed to other Borough staff may result in rejection of the quotation as irregular.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement documentation. Payment terms are Net 30 days from receipt of goods and a correct invoice, with no deposits or prepayments permitted unless specifically authorized by written addendum. The vendor must provide a comprehensive warranty for all components with a minimum one-year warranty period and must supply a detailed operations manual and training session upon delivery. An alternate quote option is available for a set of four 14-inch rims with aggressive tires for summer use. The total contract value is capped at $50,000, with no work to commence until receipt of the signed purchase order and direction from the Borough Project Manager.
