Retrofit Snow Single Axle Campbell Co

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases, is seeking bids for a master agreement contract to retrofit single-axle and tandem snow removal trucks for the 2023-2024 snow season. The contract will cover the installation of snowplows, spreaders, communication systems, and lighting on trucks, with deliverables including proof of ownership or possession, proper licensing and registration, and completion of all retrofits prior to November 1 each year. The contract term will be based on the truck model year, with 2014 and newer models effective upon award and expiring April 15, 2030, and 2013 and older models effective upon award and expiring April 15, 2026. Vendors must provide unit prices for the annual retrofit fee, as well as hourly pricing for salting and plowing operations, with bids in excess of $25,000 for trucks model year 2013 and older or $40,000 for trucks 2014 and newer considered potentially excessive.

The Commonwealth has set a budget for this procurement and reserves the right to award fewer trucks than requested to remain within budget. The solicitation includes a District Map outlining the geographic boundaries and service areas, and vendors can bid on one or more trucks in the desired county. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the Commonwealth does not disclose any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total available budget for the initial 3-year term is not specified, but the Commonwealth notes that funding for the program is provided through federal and state grants.
