The solicitation is open to vendors who can meet the district's requirements and comply with Wisconsin Administrative Code, OSHA Standards, and safety requirements. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor type are mentioned in the documentation. The district is a tax-exempt entity (Tax ID ES42341) and expects governmental and educational discounts to be reflected in unit pricing. Standard warranty provisions include one-year coverage from receipt date, with equipment manufacturer's standard warranty to be honored by the contractor. The MMSD reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities to meet actual needs and to reject any or all quotations without providing a specific reason.
