Semi Truck

Snow College initiated a procurement process for a used semi truck through the Utah Public Procurement Place, with bid number 1718076-2. The invitation for bid (IFB) was released on May 4, 2018, with a bid closing deadline of May 15, 2018, at 4:00 PM MDT. The college sought to acquire a used semi truck, evaluating bids based on overall best value, with specific considerations including vehicle mileage, cost, and condition. All bid submissions were required to be uploaded electronically through the Sciquest portal, with no hard copy submissions accepted. Bidders were instructed to submit all questions through the portal's Q&A Board, and the procurement emphasized strict adherence to the provided Terms and Conditions. The commodity codes associated with this procurement included motor vehicles (25100), tires and tire tubes (25172), and vehicle bodies and trailers (25180). Potential bidders were required to include all associated costs within their bid price and were prohibited from uploading additional terms beyond the specified documentation.

The procurement documentation did not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. The bid was ultimately awarded to Kenworth Sales Company, which submitted the lowest bid for a 2014 truck with 473,597 miles. While specific budget ranges were not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement process suggested a competitive bidding environment focused on obtaining the most advantageous used semi truck for Snow College. The primary contacts for this procurement were Dakota Gourgel and Mike Jorgensen from Snow College, who were available to address potential vendor inquiries through the designated procurement portal. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or specific infrastructure integration requirements, though the procurement clearly sought a used semi truck that would meet the college's operational needs.
