Water Department One Ton Single Cab and Chassis

The City of Craig is seeking bids for a Water Department procurement of a One Ton Single Cab and Chassis 4x4 with Single Rear Wheels and 8ft Flat Bed, specifically targeting a 2025 model year vehicle. The procurement requires a comprehensive bid package with detailed technical specification compliance, including a gas 6.0 liter or greater engine, automatic 6-speed transmission, rear locking differential, heavy-duty suspension, toolboxes, LED lighting, and a 60-month extended bumper-to-bumper warranty. Bids are due on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the City Hall Council Chambers located at 300 West Fourth Street in Craig, Colorado, with bid opening and reading occurring immediately. The final contract award is scheduled for the July 8th, 2025 City Council meeting. Interested vendors must submit bids using the provided bid form, clearly marked with the bidder's name and "Water Department Cab and Chassis" on the submission. Specifications and additional details can be obtained by contacting City Clerk Katie Carmody at (970)826-2008 or kcarmody@ci.craig.co.us.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. The city is offering a trade-in option for a 2012 Ford F250 with a utility box bed, which will factor into the final pricing calculation. Bidders are required to provide pricing for the cab and chassis, flat bed with boxes and racks, and extended warranty, with the total cost to be determined after accounting for the trade-in vehicle's value. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications suggest the city is seeking a high-quality, purpose-built vehicle for water department operations. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit mentions of required technology integrations or compatibility requirements beyond the specified vehicle features.
