Heavy Equipment Rental

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for the rental of heavy equipment under Supply Arrangement E6TOR-23RM03, with only pre-qualified suppliers eligible to respond. The solicitation, issued as W6889-20260006, requires the provision of a tri-axle dump truck and a high voltage digger derrick truck, both subject to strict technical specifications including a minimum 5-ton chassis, automatic transmission, power-assisted steering, enclosed heated cab with HVAC, lifting capacity of at least 30,000 lbs at full reach, insulated boom, pintle hitch for towing 5-ton electric-braked trailers, and equipment no older than five years or exceeding 5,000 operational hours. Two keys must be supplied per unit, with winter tires installed and compliance confirmed through marked attestations in Annex C. Delivery and pickup are required at CFB Petawawa, Building S-111, with rental periods extending from June 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, for the dump truck and from contract award to November 30, 2026, for the digger derrick. The award will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model, where each piece of equipment is evaluated separately and awarded to the lowest compliant offer. All proposals must be submitted electronically by May 14, 2026, via the Government of Canada’s procurement portal, and inspection and final acceptance occur on-site by a joint team of contractor and government representatives. Pricing details are not filled in the annexes, and no contract value estimate is provided; payment terms are structured under Annex B, with separate line items for delivery and pickup services. There are no socioeconomic set-asides, size status requirements, or formal representation statements mandated beyond technical compliance, and no U.S. FAR-style clauses are applicable as this is a Canadian government procurement under PSPC oversight.
