About this opportunity

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for roadside mowing equipment through a Request for Bid (RFB) released on September 29, 2023. The procurement specifically targets the acquisition of four pan mowers, with a focus on Bush Hog Mower 2815 Legend Rotary Cutters featuring a 180-inch cutting width. The county will simultaneously offer four existing Schulte FX-1800 mowers (from 2015 and 2016 model years) as trade-in options for potential vendors. Vendor questions were due by October 20, 2023, with final proposal submissions required electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by October 27, 2023, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must provide detailed unit costs for new mowers and corresponding trade-in values, while meeting stringent specifications regarding deck thickness, blade characteristics, hydraulic systems, and warranty requirements. The evaluation will consider local vendor preferences, potentially advantaging vendors from Dane County, surrounding counties, or Wisconsin. Dane County reserves the right to accept or reject any bid and adjust quantities to align with actual departmental needs.

The procurement includes provisions for local and potentially disadvantaged business considerations, with preferences potentially given to vendors within Dane County, surrounding counties, or Wisconsin. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with insurance requirements, fair labor standards, and recycled materials preferences. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves four high-performance mowing units with integrated trade-in options. The equipment will be delivered to the Dane County Highway Department, suggesting a targeted procurement for specific infrastructure maintenance needs. Bidders must showcase technical compliance with detailed equipment specifications, including hydraulic system performance, blade quality, and comprehensive warranty coverage. The procurement process emphasizes both technical capability and local economic considerations, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of potential vendors beyond mere pricing. Interested vendors must carefully review all technical specifications and submission requirements to ensure full compliance with the county's procurement guidelines.
