Dump Truck Repairs

The Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Division of Fleet Services has issued a solicitation for specialized repair services focused on dump trucks, specifically GMC and Kenworth models used by various city agencies. The contract aims to secure qualified vendors capable of performing repairs on subsystems and components such as engines, transmissions, drive systems, and electrical systems that the Metro Fleet Services cannot handle in-house. This procurement is structured as a competitive sealed bidding process, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and it emphasizes compliance with local and federal regulations, including affirmative action, minimum wage standards, and diversity participation goals. The solicitation process includes detailed submission instructions, certification requirements, and documentation for pricing, vendor information, and subcontractor commitments, all to be submitted via an online portal by October 24, 2025. Supporting documents outline the procedural and compliance requirements for bidders, including policies related to Louisville Metro’s Ban the Box initiative, which restricts inquiries into criminal history during initial employment applications unless specific exceptions apply. Vendors must also complete forms certifying their adherence to minimum wage standards, local vendor preferences, and diversity participation goals, such as minority, women, and disabled-owned business enterprise commitments. Additionally, the bid package requires detailed information about subcontractors and self-performed work, with emphasis on demonstrating good faith efforts to meet diversity and local vendor objectives. The overall process ensures that awarded vendors will provide timely, qualified repair services while adhering to Louisville Metro’s policies on fair employment practices, diversity, and local economic support.
