New Current Production Cat 150/John Deere 770 Gp Motor Grader

The solicitation issued by the Tattnall County Board of Commissioners seeks bids for a new, current production tandem drive motor grader, specifically a Cat 150 or John Deere 770GP model, with technical specifications emphasizing a minimum 180 horsepower engine, 8-speed transmission, hydraulic controls, and safety features such as backup alarms and cameras. The contract includes options for outright purchase or lease-to-own arrangements, with detailed warranty provisions of five years or 7,500 hours, covering repairs with free travel and mileage. Bidders are required to attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting on December 4, 2025, and submit sealed bids by December 16, 2025, to the specified address, clearly marked as "Sealed Motor Grader Bid 2026-29." The procurement emphasizes compliance with detailed technical and safety standards, including specific attachments like a "ROME" Sloper and front counterweight, and mandates submission of manuals, warranty documentation, and current brochures. The contract documentation outlines technical and performance requirements but does not specify a formal evaluation or award methodology; compliance with all specifications appears to be the primary criterion. The procurement process involves detailed bid submission instructions, with no mention of electronic or digital submission methods—only physical delivery via UPS, FedEx, or hand delivery. The scope of work includes delivering the equipment to the county shop in Reidsville, Georgia, with inspection and acceptance contingent upon meeting the specified technical standards, such as engine power, hydraulic response, cab features, safety items, and attachments. The contract does not specify packaging, preservation, or marking requirements, suggesting these details are likely covered in the attached specifications not included here. There are no explicit FAR or federal contract clauses, representations, or certifications required, indicating this is a local government procurement with a focus on technical compliance, warranty coverage, and proper documentation.
