Purchase of Two (2) New International Mv607 Dump Body Truck (Rebid)

Chatham County is seeking competitive bids for the purchase of two new 2027 International MV607 trucks configured as 4x2 with regular cabs, each equipped with a backpack toolbox and a 12-foot dump body featuring a tailgate. Equivalent models from other manufacturers may be submitted provided the bidder clearly identifies the manufacturer and model number on the pricing sheet and supplies manufacturer-provided cut sheets that demonstrate equivalence or superiority to the specified requirements. The solicitation, numbered 26-0070-3, was posted on June 1, 2026, with responses due by June 11, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 336120 for motor vehicle manufacturing. Performance will be based in Georgia, and all bids must be submitted through the county’s online procurement platform. The contract is subject to a range of compliance requirements designed to ensure ethical and equitable practices, including mandatory certifications regarding drug-free workplace standards, non-discrimination, debarment status, E-Verify usage for employment authorization verification, and adherence to Georgia state law regarding contractor conduct. Bidders must also submit a disclosure of responsibility statement covering past legal violations, convictions, debarments, or contractual failures, and an affidavit affirming U.S. citizenship or lawful immigration status. Special requirements include a strict prohibition on lobbying activities related to the award, with failure to submit the required lobbying affidavit rendering a bid non-responsive. Contractors must ensure all subcontractors comply with E-Verify requirements and the anti-kickback statutes. Additionally, the procurement emphasizes M/WBE participation through a detailed good faith efforts process requiring proactive outreach, documentation of solicitation attempts, and justification for non-selection of participating minority or women-owned firms. While the county does not specify a formal evaluation weighting system, award decisions hinge on demonstrating meaningful and documented efforts to meet M/WBE participation goals, with full compliance or sufficient good faith efforts serving as key determinants. There is no stated estimated contract value, payment or invoicing method, or details on inspection protocols, acceptance locations, or delivery schedules in the provided materials. All submissions must include complete and signed attachments, and any missing documentation will result in non-responsiveness.
