The City of Warwick, Rhode Island, located in Kent County, is seeking to procure various new tires for its Department of Public Works and Warwick Police Department through Bid2026-237. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of tire specifications, including light duty and heavy duty tires from brands like Goodyear or equivalent alternatives. Bidders are required to submit one original and two copies of sealed bids, with prices to be held firm for the 2026 calendar year and potential extension for an additional term upon mutual agreement. The bid is scheduled for public opening on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with bid specifications available starting Friday, October 2, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive bid price, with bidders required to provide list prices, percentage discounts off list price, and net prices for each tire specification. The city reserves the right to award in part or full and adjust quantities as needed.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. Bidders can leverage multiple purchasing options through cooperative purchasing websites, including RI State MPA, NASPO, MHEC, Sourcewell, OMNIA OPUS, and GBPC, which provides additional flexibility in procurement methods. The city is exempt from Rhode Island Sales Tax, potentially reducing overall procurement costs. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive tire specifications suggest a potentially significant procurement value covering multiple vehicle types and departments. The contract structure allows for potential extension and provides the city with considerable procurement discretion, enabling them to optimize tire procurement across different vehicle fleet requirements for public works and police department vehicles.
