RFP for Utility Tractor

The Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District (DIISD) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a utility tractor, with sealed bids due on May 14th, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement specifically seeks a new sub-compact utility tractor with precise specifications, including a 23 horsepower engine, side discharge mower, quick hitch rotary broom (52 inches maximum), quick hitch snow blower (47 inches maximum), and a cab with heat. The tractor must include a front power take-off (PTO) for attachments and be available for delivery prior to June 30th, 2025. Bidders are required to complete a comprehensive bid sheet detailing the proposed utility tractor, including a full description, warranty information, delivery date, and total cost. The bid evaluation will involve opening proposals during the DIISD Board of Education meeting on May 14th at 5:00 P.M. Central Time, with the district reserving the right to accept or reject any or all bids submitted.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential vendors must submit two critical attachments: a Familial Disclosure Form (Attachment A) and an Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification (Attachment B). The district is a tax-exempt school/government entity, and bidders are encouraged to direct any questions to Casey McCormick via email at cmccormick@diisd.org. Bid submissions can be made either by emailing Amanda Sanicki at asanicki@diisd.org (with "Sealed Bid" in the subject line) or by mailing to the district's address in Kingsford, Michigan. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the documentation, interested vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals that meet the detailed technical specifications for the utility tractor.
