The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for the procurement of a new Buffalo Turbine Cyclone pull-behind blower for park and watercraft maintenance at Pymatuning State Park. The solicitation includes two optional items: the KB7 and KB23 models. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the low lot total, which is calculated by multiplying the unit cost by the estimated usage for all items.

The procurement process incorporates State of Ohio Standard Terms and Conditions, including specific preferences for Buy American, Buy Ohio, and certified veteran-friendly businesses. These preferences are applied as percentage additions to the total score, provided the product cost exceeds 50 percent of the total offered cost. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the Ohio Buys portal by the deadline of November 4, 2026. Contractual requirements include adherence to F.O.B. Destination shipping terms and compliance with U.S. trade control laws and boycott warranties. Invoicing must be submitted directly to Financial Shared Services, with payments due 30 days after receipt of a proper invoice. The contractor is responsible for all insurance and workers' compensation and must ensure that any subcontracts are approved in writing by the State. Additionally, the contractor must comply with data security and privacy terms, including the requirement that data at rest reside within the contiguous United States.
