Towable Road Broom

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), in collaboration with the State of Nevada Purchasing Division, is soliciting competitive bids for two new towable road brooms, specifically targeting the M-B Model 53 MH or an approved equivalent model. The procurement is focused on acquiring hydraulically driven rotary angle brooms with an 8-foot sweeping width, capable of operating up to 20 MPH and featuring electric/hydraulic swing and lift capabilities. Vendors must provide brand new equipment, with used, refurbished, demo, prototype, or gray market equipment explicitly excluded from consideration. The bid requires comprehensive technical specifications including main frame construction, specific lighting requirements, detailed brush specifications, and compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and EPA Engine Emission Standards. Key delivery requirements include a pre-build meeting, pre-delivery service, and four hours each of mechanical and operator training to be conducted in Las Vegas. The solicitation was posted on April 23, 2025, with proposals due by May 16, 2025, and vendors must submit all specifications and potential exceptions through the NevadaEPro system.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must submit comprehensive documentation through the NevadaEPro platform, including detailed pricing, specification sheets, and compliance documentation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves two specialized pieces of equipment with optional add-ons such as spare tires, spare brushes, and brush refill kits. The State of Nevada offers a 5% preference for Nevada-based businesses, which could provide a competitive advantage for local vendors. Insurance requirements include a $1,000,000 combined single limit for automobile liability when goods are delivered directly by the vendor. The contract terms allow for a maximum two-year initial contract period with potential annual extensions, subject to state budget appropriations. Vendors must also be prepared to provide comprehensive warranty conditions and meet strict performance standards outlined in the standard terms and conditions document.
