Terminal tractor

Greenville County's Procurement Services Division is seeking proposals through RFP #22041 for a used Terminal Tractor to replace an existing vehicle in the Solid Waste Division. The procurement targets a 4 x 2 off-road Terminal Tractor manufactured in 2012 or newer with no more than 30,000 hours of use, specifically designed for hooking and dropping 52' trailers loaded with 18-20 tons of municipal solid waste. Required specifications include a diesel engine with at least 160 HP, automatic transmission, raised roof cab, and comprehensive safety features like OSHA-compliant components, grab handles, and strobe lights. The tractor must be painted white with safety yellow on steps and grab handles, equipped with 11R-22.5 tires, and include an operator's manual and service/parts manual. The solicitation was released on January 28, 2022, with proposals due by February 18, 2022, at 3:00 pm. Proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, considering responsiveness, vendor experience, cost, and references, with each category weighted equally at 25%. The county plans to review proposals between February 21 and March 4, 2022, with a tentative award date of March 4, 2022, and contract negotiations scheduled from March 4 to March 18, 2022.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement appears open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the contract includes specific insurance requirements, mandating $1,000,000 per occurrence for Comprehensive General Liability and Automobile Liability, along with Statutory Worker's Compensation. The final pricing will be determined during the negotiation process, with the contract specifying that the total sum will not exceed a yet-to-be-specified amount. The contract includes provisions for non-appropriation, allowing Greenville County to terminate the agreement if funds are not allocated in the current or subsequent fiscal years. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including company background, insurance coverage, at least three references, and a detailed scope of work. The delivery location is specified as the Greenville County Twin Chimney's Landfill in Honea Path, South Carolina, with the tractor to be delivered F.O.B. to that site.
