PWC Hocking Hills Wacker SM 120 Track Loader

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for the purchase of one new Wacker SM 120 Track Loader, which must include a productivity package, a 44-inch mini bucket grapple, and forks. The equipment is to be delivered to Hocking Hills State Park under F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning the contractor is responsible for all freight costs and assumes the risk of loss until the item is accepted at the destination. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a low lot total methodology, calculated by multiplying the unit cost by the estimated usage. Bidders are cautioned that failure to bid on all required items may result in being deemed non-responsive. The contract is governed by the DAS Standard Terms and Conditions and is subject to the availability of lawful appropriations. Contractors must adhere to strict regulatory requirements, including maintaining a drug-free workplace, complying with conflict-of-interest statutes, and ensuring that no public funds are used for offshore services performed outside the contiguous United States. Additionally, the contractor must warrant that they and any subcontractors are not debarred from government contracting. While the solicitation does not specify qualitative evaluation factors, the award is based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model. All deliverables must be merchantable, fit for their intended purpose, and comply with applicable safety, environmental, and accessibility standards.
