PWC N. Construction Utility Dozer John Deere 650P tier

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Parks and Watercraft is seeking to procure one standard option John Deere 650 P-tier Utility Dozer for North Construction's park and watercraft construction projects in Sandusky County. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) specifies a detailed procurement process for a heavy machinery construction vehicle with specific technical requirements, including two model variants (XLT and LGP) delivering 78 kW (104 hp) of power. The dozer must feature advanced technologies such as grade management solutions, SmartGrade control systems, and connectivity options, with multiple configuration possibilities including different track widths and blade sizes. The procurement will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, determined by calculating the low lot total through multiplying unit costs by estimated usage. Key submission deadlines include a proposal due date of July 25, 2025, with a contract delivery deadline of October 31, 2025, and the contract term extending through June 30, 2026. Bidders must comply with comprehensive invoice submission requirements and provide detailed documentation for Financial Shared Services (FSS).

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. As part of the procurement, a trade-in of an existing JOHN DEERE 650H CRAWLER DZR (serial number T0650HX879907) is included in the process, and shipping costs must be incorporated into the bid. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but bidders should be prepared to provide a comprehensive quote that includes the dozer, trade-in value, and associated costs. Potential respondents must obtain an OH|ID for accessing the OhioBuys procurement platform and are encouraged to complete training through web-based eLearning resources. The contact for the project is Mike Swan, Parks Construction Administrator, who can be reached at Michael.Swan@dnr.ohio.gov or 330-221-7055. Vendors must adhere to the State of Ohio's Standard Terms and Conditions, which include compliance with state laws, ethics standards, confidentiality protocols, and specific data management requirements.
