Rodder Trucks Body Rebuild

The City of Spokane Wastewater Maintenance Department is soliciting sealed bids under ITB 6634-26 for a two-year contract to perform the complete refurbishment and rebuild of two Freightliner M2106 Rodder Truck bodies. The project is structured so that one truck body will be refurbished in 2026 and the second in 2027. The scope of work is strictly limited to the truck bodies, as the chassis are currently in good operating condition. Key technical requirements include updating welds to current standards, replacing all decals, DOT tape, panel switches, relays, fuses, and safety interlocks. The contractor is also responsible for final assembly, testing, leak and pressure checks, and a mandatory post-rebuild Federal DOT Inspection with a written report of findings. Prospective bidders must adhere to a strict timeline, with a clarification deadline of October 15, 2026, and a final bid due date of October 20, 2026, at 11:00 AM. A critical mandatory requirement is the attendance of a vehicle inspection between October 7 and October 15, 2026; failure to attend will result in automatic bid disqualification. The contract is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of Washington State and requires compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In addition to the base rebuild, the city is requesting alternate pricing for installation on existing chassis, an extended one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and cab and chassis paint.
