The equipment must meet strict technical specifications, including a 550-pound hopper capacity, a forward speed of 4.5 mph enabling a 52-foot spreading width, and standard features such as disengagement for towing, remote rope feed control, and side spreading adjustment. All items must be new, unused, free of defects, and must not include any substitutions.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with preference given to local vendors through a structured evaluation credit system. Local Davie vendors receive a five percent evaluation credit, and if their bid is within five percent of the lowest quote, they may submit a second bid at least one percent lower to win the award; similarly, local Broward County vendors receive a 2.5 percent credit with the same second-bid mechanism.

If no local vendor outperforms the lowest bid by the required margin, the award defaults to the lowest responsive bidder regardless of location.
