Tandem Axle Tilt Trailer

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of one tandem axle tilt trailer to be delivered to Nehalem Bay State Park in Nehalem, Oregon. The trailer must meet specific technical requirements, including a 20-foot cargo deck with a 4-foot stationary section and 16-foot tilt deck, a 14,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, and a 10,500-pound payload capacity. Bids are due by February 22, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with an anticipated contract award date of March 1, 2023. The procurement process will evaluate bids based on price and additional factors such as vendor experience, expertise, and product functionality. Bidders must submit a completed Pricing Proposal Form with unit pricing valid for 30 days from the bid closing date, and the trailer must be delivered within six weeks of the order date.

The ITB indicates a preference for goods manufactured in Oregon or made from recycled materials, which may provide a competitive advantage to qualifying vendors. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the document. The procurement is open to vendors capable of meeting the detailed trailer specifications, with the contract to be awarded to the bidder who best serves OPRD's interests. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement is for a single trailer with precise technical requirements. The jurisdiction for this procurement is Tillamook County, and the contract will be managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Vendors should carefully review the ITB requirements to ensure their proposed trailer meets all specified technical and performance criteria.
