Request for Bids - Trades Fleet Vehicles

Fargo Public School District is requesting bids for two fleet vehicles — one half-ton and one 1-ton high-roof cargo van for the Facilities Department — with bids due August 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. through the Bonfire portal. The District has expressed preference for bidders with a local presence.

Both vehicles must be white with minimum 76-inch interior cargo height, right-side sliding doors with windows, dual swing-out rear doors, power windows, air conditioning, keyless entry, integrated in-vehicle communications systems, and factory-installed composite flooring. All vehicles must meet Federal Government requirements and include standard factory equipment. Bidders must specify make, model, delivery date, and price for each vehicle on the Summary Bid Worksheet; submission is exclusive to the online Bonfire portal at https://fargok12.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities.

Pricing must exclude sales tax and Federal Excise Tax, with all delivery charges included in the bid price. Award will be based on lowest financial cost to the District while considering suitability to purpose, design, quality, past service, and delivery date. The District reserves the right to accept proposals other than the lowest cost, negotiate contract terms, reject all proposals, waive informalities, and award to a responsible bidder meeting specifications. Proposals must remain valid for at least 90 days. Board approval is scheduled for August 25, 2026. All bidders must be registered in the Bonfire system to submit bids and ask questions. Vendors may submit questions through the portal; legal advertisements were published July 22 and 29, 2026. Technical support is available at Support.Bonfire@eunasolutions.com.
