Salt Lake City Corporation is seeking competitive sealed bids for the purchase and delivery of one (1) Aerial Truck for the Department of Public Lands. The procurement is specifically targeted at qualified contractors who can provide a specialized utility vehicle with comprehensive technical specifications. The Aerial Truck must feature a diesel engine with at least 250 horsepower, an automatic transmission, AWD/4WD drivetrain, and an elevator lift capable of reaching 75 feet. Mandatory technical requirements include an insulated aerial lift/boom, a 14-yard chip box, hydraulic outriggers, and a side-mounted platform. The bid will be evaluated based on technical specification compliance and lowest total cost, with bidders required to submit electronic proposals through the Utah Public Procurement Place (Bonfire) website by October 28, 2025. Bidders must complete a detailed Cost Sheet, provide certification of unit delivery within 8 months of order receipt, and demonstrate compliance with each of the 27 specified technical requirements.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be registered with the State of Utah, System for Award Management (SAM.gov), and E-Verify to be considered eligible. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the bid requires firms to submit firm, fixed pricing in U.S. dollars that covers all associated costs including materials, labor, insurance, transportation, and delivery. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Vendors must also comply with city ethics requirements, which prohibit providing gifts or attempting to externally influence the procurement process. The technical specifications allow for optional items to be added, and bidders are required to specify warranty years and terms for the Aerial Truck. Salt Lake City Corporation will receive the vehicle at the Public Services/Fleet Management Division, with the procurement focused on acquiring a high-performance utility vehicle for municipal public service operations.
