Rental Equipment

Fulton County's Department of Purchasing & Contract Compliance is seeking qualified vendors to provide rental equipment for the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management through an e-quote solicitation. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of equipment including scissor lifts (19ft and 24-26ft electric powered), vertical mast lifts, generators (12-14kW diesel and 8-8.4kW portable), light stands, trash pumps, reach trucks, and electric forklifts. Vendors must submit pricing for daily, weekly, and monthly rates, with the award evaluation based on weekly rates, and are required to bid on all line items and provide high-energy efficient units. The contract will have a 12-month term with a maximum value of $100,000, and successful bidders must demonstrate capability to handle equipment delivery, installation, set-up, and disconnection with fully tested and functioning units. E-quote responses are due on Monday, June 30, 2025, by 2:00 P.M., with the final day for submitting questions being Tuesday, June 24, 2025. All submissions must be completed through the BidNet Direct website, and contractors will be expected to maintain a 24/7 point of contact with specific response time requirements for emergency (2 hours), urgent (24 hours), and routine (2 days) service calls.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and umbrella liability insurance. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and insurance requirements. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract represents a significant opportunity for equipment rental businesses with the capacity to serve Fulton County's facilities. The maximum contract value of $100,000 suggests a substantial but not extensive procurement, potentially attractive to mid-sized equipment rental companies with diverse inventory and robust service capabilities. Bidders will need to demonstrate not only competitive pricing but also reliability, equipment quality, and the ability to provide prompt, responsive service across various equipment categories.
