RFB-7424 – Purchase of one Raymo remote controlled fully electric slope mower

The City of Yonkers in Westchester County, New York, is soliciting bids for RFB-7424, a procurement to purchase one remote-controlled fully electric slope mower, specifically a Raymo model or an approved equivalent. The procurement requires a slope mower capable of operating on slopes up to 75 degrees and servicing an average area of 50,000 square feet. The City reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the best lead time, with bidders required to indicate their lead time in calendar days after receiving the purchase order and specify the shipping origin. The bid was posted on March 21, 2025, with a submission deadline of April 4, 2025. Bidders must complete and return an acknowledgement form, and failure to do so may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. The procurement documents will be available on the Empire State Purchasing Group's website, and potential bidders can submit questions to Francis Brown in the Yonkers municipal purchasing department.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. The bid documents do not provide a specific budget range or award value for the slope mower procurement. The procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment purchase with a focus on technical specifications and delivery capabilities. While the driving directions document for the James Hines Administration Center was included, it does not appear directly relevant to the slope mower procurement. The evaluation will primarily focus on lead time, responsiveness, and the ability to meet the technical requirements for a remote-controlled, fully electric slope mower capable of operating on steep terrain and covering substantial ground area.
