PWC Construction Boom Mowers

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Parks and Watercraft Construction, is requesting quotes for boom mowers to maintain brush along open park and watercraft areas, with quotes due August 26, 2026. The RFQ document specifies one Diamond 25' DM360 Municipal Maintenance boom mower as the equipment required, a single-source specification that narrows the competitive field to authorized Diamond dealers.

Equipment must be new, not used, and delivered to the N. Construction facility at 4958 Rock Spring Road, Ravenna, Ohio by April 5, 2027. The contractor bears all freight costs under F.O.B. Destination/Pre-Paid/Allowed terms and maintains risk of loss until the State accepts delivery.

ODNR applies three preferences under Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-06 — a 5% Buy American preference for domestic source end products, a 5% Buy Ohio preference for eligible offerors, and a 2% Veteran-Friendly Business preference — but only if at least one offeror does not qualify for the particular preference. Independent Contractor Companies with fewer than five employees must submit an Independent Contractor/Worker Acknowledgement form. All proposals must be submitted through Ohio Buys; proposals received outside this platform will not be considered.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by line item. The purchase order remains valid only for goods and services received through June 30, 2027, after which a new PO will be required. Invoices must be submitted directly to Financial Shared Services and must include origin code DNR-N09, PO number, supplier name, delivery address, invoice number, completion date, itemized services or goods, and line charges without Ohio sales tax. Mike Swan at 330-221-7055 is the procurement contact.
