Mohican State Park One Salt Dogg Electric Replacement Tailgate Salt Spreader.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Watercraft, is soliciting bids for the procurement of one new Salt Dogg electric replacement tailgate salt spreader, specifically part number 9035101. This equipment is intended for use on a 2026 Ford F550 dump truck at Mohican State Park in Loudonville, Ohio. The required unit must feature 304 stainless steel construction, a 12 VDC electric drive motor system with no hydraulic operation, and be configured for driver-side discharge. The spreader must be compatible with a Rugby Eliminator light-duty dump body and capable of handling bulk salt or a 50/50 salt/sand mix. The contract requires the item to be delivered F.O.B. Destination/Pre-Paid/Allowed, and because the delivery site lacks a loading dock, the bidder must include freight shipping with liftgate service. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by line item. Evaluation includes specific state preferences pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-06, which provide scoring advantages for Buy American, Buy Ohio, and Veteran-Friendly businesses. All proposals must be submitted through the OhioBuys procurement platform using an OH|ID for access. Contractors are subject to the State of Ohio Standard Terms and Conditions, which mandate compliance with various regulatory requirements, including drug-free workplace policies, cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, and adherence to accessibility standards like the Americans with Disabilities Act and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Additionally, the contractor must warrant that they are not debarred from government contracting and are not participating in any boycotts of jurisdictions with which the State of Ohio maintains open trade.
