Street sweepers

Westchester County is seeking to procure two (2) 2025 or newer Mechanical Broom Street Sweeper Vehicles through a Request for Bid (RFB-WC-25259) for its Department of Public Works (DPW) and Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF). The procurement specifically calls for heavy-duty, mid-sized, dual engine street sweepers with a 4 cubic yard capacity, mounted on a non-CDL, cab-over chassis. One sweeper will be used to sweep the Bronx River Parkway and county roads, while the other will sweep roads at various wastewater treatment plants and facilities. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including specification forms, exceptions to specifications, bid quotation forms, and standardized insurance forms. The bid is due before 2 PM on October 14, 2025, with bidders required to submit unit pricing for both chassis and sweeper body, and potentially offer additional accessories like reverse obstacle detection systems, stainless steel hoppers, and auto lubrication systems. The county will evaluate bids based on lowest responsible and responsive bidder status, with delivery time potentially serving as a decision factor. Comprehensive technical specifications cover detailed requirements for engines, chassis, water systems, electrical components, and warranty conditions.

The bid documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The county reserves the right to increase, decrease, or cancel parts of the order based on funding, operational needs, or other factors, with pricing expected to remain firm and fixed. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the bid emphasizes that successful bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with all legal and regulatory requirements. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves the purchase of two street sweepers with potential additional accessory options. Bidders must submit delivered pricing that includes all registrations and fees, suggesting a comprehensive procurement approach. The county maintains flexibility in the award process, potentially considering factors beyond just the lowest price, such as delivery timelines, technical capabilities, and overall responsiveness to the detailed specifications outlined in the bid document.
