Salt Lake City Request for Bid SLCI26101 Clearing and Securing Real Property

Salt Lake City Corporation's Department of Public Services and Purchasing Division has issued Request for Bid SLCI26101 for the one-time purchase of a sidewalk sweeper unit. The procurement is governed by Salt Lake City Code 3.24 and requires bidders to be registered with the State of Utah Department of Commerce, System for Award Management (Sam.gov), and E-Verify prior to contract execution. The sidewalk sweeper must meet 41 minimum technical specifications, including a diesel engine with minimum 40 horsepower, EPA/CARB compliance, hydrostatic drive system, fully enclosed cab with air conditioning, vacuum-assisted debris collection, high-pressure surface washing, air-sweeping systems with brushes, adjustable sweeping width between 48 and 80 inches, high-dump debris hopper with minimum 1 cubic meter capacity, integrated dust suppression system, onboard pressure washer with minimum 1,300 PSI and 3 GPM output, 50-gallon water tank, snow sweeping broom attachment, front-mounted snowplow attachment, and de-icing application capability. Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically through the Bonfire platform on the Utah Public Procurement Place website with a deadline of May 7, 2026, with no exceptions for late submissions. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, and all proposed pricing must be submitted using the Cost Sheet attachment and include all costs associated with the sidewalk sweeper, including materials, delivery, and applicable surcharges. Delivery must be completed within 6 months of purchase order receipt to Salt Lake City's Public Services/Fleet Management Division, and bidders must provide service manuals, operator manuals, parts documentation, and on-site operator training as part of their proposals. The vendor must guarantee pricing until completion of delivery, maintain a minimum one-year warranty on all goods, and assume full responsibility for damage to City property.

The RFB does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular categories of organizations, meaning all qualified bidders meeting the registration and compliance requirements are eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will not consider bids from parties in arrears to the City or deemed irresponsible or unreliable, and all contract terms and conditions are non-negotiable with any bid submitted with exceptions or additions to the provided purchase order terms subject to rejection and disqualification. Payment terms are Net 30 days unless alternative discount terms are offered by the vendor and accepted by the City, and the vendor is responsible for all packing and freight costs unless previously agreed to in writing. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the posted solicitation materials, requiring interested bidders to submit competitive pricing on the Cost Sheet attachment. A prebid conference or site visit is available as noted in the General Information section of the RFB, though specific dates and times are referenced on the Bonfire posting on the Utah Public Procurement Place website.
