Fisher Engineering — Snow and ice equipment

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, has established a master agreement with Douglas Dynamics, LLC for the procurement of snow and ice handling equipment, supplies, and accessories. This cooperative purchasing program is designed to serve governmental, educational, nonprofit, and tribal agencies across the United States and Canada. The contract covers a wide range of turn-key solutions, including plows, blowers, distribution equipment, and related upfitting, with an estimated annual transaction value of 80 million dollars and a total estimated contract value of 107.3 million dollars. The agreement is effective for a base term of four years, expiring June 11, 2030, with options for up to three additional one-year extensions. Under the agreement, participating entities receive specific MSRP discounts: 27 to 30 percent for truck-mounted products, 22 to 27 percent for non-truck products, 20 percent for accessories, and 3 percent for pusher box plows. Award decisions were based on a trade-off process scoring pricing, solution depth and breadth, delivery capability, marketing plans, value-added attributes, and financial viability. All equipment must be new, current-model, and delivered fully operational to the participating entity's location with industry-standard warranties. Administration is handled through Sourcewell, with payments processed via ACH, wire transfer, or a dedicated payment portal.
