Retrofit Snow & Ice Truck D8 - Rockcastle Co

This state and local contract opportunity from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is for the retrofit of snow and ice removal trucks in District 8, which includes Rockcastle County. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) to establish a master agreement contract for the annual retrofit of single-axle and tandem trucks with snowplows, hopper spreaders, liquid chloride dispensers, and two-way radios. Vendors must submit bids for the annual retrofit payment per truck, as well as the hourly rate for salting and plowing operations. The contract period will be effective upon award and expire on April 15, 2025 for trucks 2012 or older, or April 15, 2029 for trucks 2013 or newer. Bids in excess of $25,000 per truck for model year 2012 and older, or $40,000 per truck for model year 2013 and newer, may be considered excessive and not eligible for award.

The RFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, it provides a list of truck retrofitters located in Kentucky and Indiana to assist prospective bidders. The procurement does not appear to have an incumbent vendor, and the required retrofitting services must use new equipment. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award fewer trucks than requested in order to remain within budget constraints, but the specific award value or budget range is not provided.
