Triplex Greens Mower (2024-UWMSN-00612-RFB).

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is conducting a Request for Bids (RFB) for the procurement of two specific pieces of golf course equipment through the ShopUW+ platform, identified by solicitation number 2024-UWMSN-00612-RFB. The procurement includes a Golf Course Triplex Greens Mower (Item 1) and a 4-seat golf cart with cargo box (Item 2), with bidders required to submit separate line-item costs for each piece of equipment and calculate an Extended Net Total. The solicitation mandates online submission through the designated bidding platform at https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=UWisconsin, with all inquiries to be directed exclusively to Dana Casey via email at dana.casey@wisc.edu. Interested vendors must submit their comprehensive bids by April 8, 2024, ensuring compliance with all specified requirements. The amendment to the original RFB emphasizes that only costs specifically identified in the bid list will be compensated under the resulting contract, establishing clear financial parameters for potential vendors.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The solicitation appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of providing the specified golf course equipment. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the procurement suggests the university is seeking to replace or supplement existing golf course maintenance equipment. The amendment indicates that bidders must provide detailed line-item pricing, which implies potential flexibility in vendor selection based on comprehensive cost evaluation. Although no specific budget range is provided, vendors should prepare comprehensive bids that include precise costings for both the Triplex Greens Mower and the 4-seat golf cart, with the expectation that the university will select the most advantageous proposal based on price, specifications, and overall value.
