Sauk County one ton plow/dump truck

Sauk County Parks and Recreation Department is seeking sealed bids for a new one-ton plow/dump truck, specifically requesting a 2017, 2018, or 2019 model year vehicle. The procurement requires an F350 or 3500 chassis with precise specifications including a 350 horsepower engine, 375 lb-ft torque, regular cab configuration, four-wheel drive, and automatic transmission. Additional required features include ABS brakes, air conditioning, power steering, power locks, and windows. The truck must be equipped with a snow plow featuring a 7'6" or 8' blade width with an electric/hydraulic operating system in either straight or "V" blade configuration. The dump box specifications mandate an 8' to 9' length with 10" to 15" sides, stake pockets or board slots, a 16" to 20" tailgate with chains, and a built-in headache rack/cab protector. Sealed bids were due by 12:00 PM on Friday, June 8, 2018, with a public bid opening scheduled for 12:30 PM the same day at the Sauk County Parks Department Office located in Hillpoint, Wisconsin. Potential bidders were invited to contact the department at (608) 355-4800 to arrange vehicle appraisals.

Sauk County plans to trade in two existing vehicles as part of this procurement: a 1999 Ford F-250 4x4 with 111,598 miles and an 8' BOSS plow, and a 1984 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 30 4x4 with 52,785 miles and a dump box. The county reserved the right to reject any and all submitted bids. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the bid document, nor were there explicit restrictions on bidding organizations. The bid did not specify a precise budget range or award value, and no information about incumbent vendors or required technology integration was provided. The procurement appears to be a straightforward vehicle replacement initiative for the county's parks and recreation fleet, focused on acquiring a modern, multipurpose truck capable of snow removal and material transportation. Interested vendors were expected to meet the detailed technical specifications and submit comprehensive bids that addressed all requirements outlined in the request for bids.
