Tires - Light Truck and Miscellaneous

Laramie County School District Number One is seeking bids for an open-end annual contract for Tires - Light Truck and Miscellaneous through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 22CB4007. The procurement will establish a contract for tire procurement from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods. The bid is specifically for tires and related services for light trucks, with deliverables to be FOB Cheyenne. Bids are due on December 2, 2021 at 11:00 a.m., with bid opening scheduled in Room 118 at 2810 House Avenue. The district reserves the right to award the contract by item or groups of items in its best interest, and pricing must be limited to two decimal places and inclusive of all associated costs. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, with the understanding that the lowest bid is not guaranteed acceptance. The district will consider factors such as compliance with specifications, pricing structure, and overall value to the organization.

The contract includes provisions for cooperative purchasing, allowing other school districts, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations to potentially utilize the contract. Vendors must provide commercial general liability insurance with specific coverage limits and submit current insurance certificates. Price adjustments are permitted based on commodity costs, with restrictions on the frequency and magnitude of price changes. Vendors are required to notify the district of any manufacturer specification changes. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the document suggests adherence to Wyoming state statutes, which may include resident bidder preferences of 5% for commodities. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but as an open-end annual contract, it appears designed to accommodate ongoing tire and light truck tire procurement needs for the district and potential cooperative participants. Vendors must complete a Supplier Application and register on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System to be considered for the contract.
