Supply Operated Hauling Equipment

Yavapai County Public Works is soliciting bids under solicitation 27-PW-18 for the provision of operated hauling equipment on a non-exclusive, as-needed basis. The scope includes various equipment types, specifically 10-wheel dump trucks with at least 12-ton capacity, end dumps with at least 18-ton capacity, and side dump units with at least 20-ton capacity, which must be ordered in multiples of two. Performance is divided into five geographic zones; work in Zones 1 and 2 is compensated at an hourly rate, while work in Zones 3, 4, and 5 is paid at a daily rate. Bidders must submit electronic responses via the OpenGov Procurement Portal by October 1, 2026, with the award expected on October 21, 2026. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on criteria including financial capability, past performance, and the ability to provide competent service and prompt delivery. Contractors must comply with strict safety and regulatory standards, including OSHA, EPA, and 49CFR Part 382 for operator drug testing. Key administrative requirements include mandatory registration for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) within one month of the effective date and adherence to Arizona State Executive Orders regarding non-discrimination. Payment terms are net 45 days from receipt of an approved invoice. The agreement is subject to appropriation contingencies, meaning continuation after the June 30 fiscal year-end requires budget approval by the County Board of Supervisors.
