One (+/-) Mid-Size Floor Sweeper-Rebid

The City of Toledo’s Department of Public Service/Facilities Operations (DPS/FAFO) is soliciting bids for the procurement of a mid-size rider floor sweeper under Solicitation Number 10008405, with bids due by February 17, 2026. This solicitation requires vendors to comply with detailed municipal procurement policies including submission via the PlanetBids electronic system. Bidders must provide a comprehensive bid package composed of mandatory City of Toledo forms such as acknowledgment and acceptance of contract specifications, Toledo municipal income tax compliance, minority business enterprise (MBE) good faith efforts, equal employment opportunity (EEO) forms, debarment and suspension certifications, and affidavits related to court-ordered child support. Essential contractual documents include a signed contract by an authorized officer (CEO/President), certificate of liability insurance naming the city as additional insured, current workers’ compensation certification, and a child support compliance affidavit. A bid guaranty set at 2.5% of the bid amount is required to ensure bid authenticity, and upon contract award, a performance bond is mandatory for contracts exceeding $40,000. Additionally, for contracts above $100,000, compliance with a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the Northwest Ohio Building Trades is required. The contract anticipates delivery of the fully functional floor sweeper to city-designated locations in Toledo, Ohio, with acceptance and inspection occurring at delivery points. While specific technical or performance criteria are not detailed in the solicitation documents, compliance with all administrative, insurance, and statutory requirements is mandatory. Vendors must adhere to bid submission procedures strictly, including use of the PlanetBids platform and timely delivery of original bid bonds or certified checks by mail. Additionally, invoices referencing proper City of Toledo purchase order numbers must be submitted either by mail or email to the city’s Division of Accounts. The City reserves discretion in awarding the contract on a best-value basis and may award partially or wholly, or reject bids if deemed in the city’s interest. The procurement is governed by local policies rather than federal acquisition regulations, with an emphasis on ensuring legal compliance, worker protections, living wage adherence, minority business participation, and risk mitigation through bonding and insurance. No federal or military packaging, preservation, or marking standards apply, reflecting the municipal nature of this procurement.
