Two (2) new single axle dump trucks each with snowplow & stainless steel hopper

Madison County, Illinois is seeking procurement of two new single axle dump trucks, each equipped with a snowplow and stainless steel hopper spreader with a pre-wet system, through a Request for Bid (RFB) released on October 10, 2025. The procurement targets vehicles with specific technical requirements, including a 39,000# rated cab and chassis, 275 horsepower engine, and Allison 3000RDS 6-speed transmission. Sealed bids will be received until 2:00 P.M. on Monday, October 27, 2025, with delivery expected within 180 days of contract signing to the Madison County Highway Garage. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a Certificate of Liability Insurance and a detailed questionnaire about their proposed vehicles. The trucks must be painted Omaha Orange and include extensive warranties: 7-year/100,000 mile coverage for the engine, cab, and chassis, and a 1-year warranty for upfitting and additional bid items. Evaluation will likely consider technical specifications, warranty terms, and compliance with bid requirements.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. Two existing 2009 International Model 7400 dump trucks (Trucks #136 and #137) are available for trade-in as part of this procurement. Bidders must comply with Equal Opportunity Employment practices and prevailing wage regulations, and may be required to provide a bid bond and performance bond. The bid documents indicate potential integration with existing county fleet infrastructure, with a focus on replacing aging dump truck assets. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a significant capital investment. Insurance requirements are extensive, mandating specific coverage limits including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate), and Commercial Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), with Madison County Government to be named as an additional insured.
