Tire Supply and Roadside Services

The City of Clermont is soliciting bids under RFB 27-001 for the purchase, installation, repair, and disposal of tires, as well as roadside tire services, for its diverse fleet including automobiles, trucks, emergency vehicles, and construction, agricultural, and turf equipment. The City intends to award contracts to the two lowest responsive and responsible bidders for an initial term of 24 months. All bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by October 15, 2026, at 2:00 pm, with a prior deadline for questions on October 7, 2026. The scope of work requires strict adherence to response times, specifically 30 minutes for emergency-priority vehicles and two hours for all other city vehicles and equipment. In-stock tires must be delivered to the City maintenance facility within 24 hours of an order, and used tires must be hauled away within 24 hours of notification. The contract mandates that all goods be new, unused, current standard production models delivered F.O.B. Destination. Payment terms are Net-30 days following satisfactory delivery and receipt of a correct invoice. Contractors must implement a quality assurance program and comply with OSHA and other federal, state, and local safety regulations. While some general construction documents mention bonds and Davis-Bacon wage determinations, the specific solicitation for tire services explicitly states that bid, performance, and payment bonds are not applicable. Additionally, the City requires compliance with Florida Executive Order 22-216 regarding cybersecurity and restrictions on information and communications technology from foreign countries of concern.
