Two 4WD Chassis with Dump Bodies

The City of Cedar Rapids is soliciting sealed electronic bids for the procurement of two four-wheel-drive chassis equipped with dump bodies, with a submission deadline of December 2, 2024. Bidders must submit their responses exclusively through the City’s online E-Procurement portal, IonWave, as submissions via email, fax, or hard copy are not accepted. The bids will be opened publicly at 3:00 pm CST on the same day, with evaluations conducted promptly afterward. Once awarded, a bid tabulation will be shared with all participants, but results will not be disclosed prior to the award, and bids may be withdrawn before the deadline but not modified or withdrawn for sixty days thereafter. The contract value is estimated to range between $150,000 and $250,000, and the project is managed by the City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with Ann Baker serving as the primary contact. The solicitation emphasizes the importance of correct electronic submission, with the responsibility solely on suppliers to ensure their responses are properly uploaded. Additional related documents include a Request for Quotation for signage, an addendum for fire engine re-bidding, and a separate bid invitation for garage door installation at a Missouri EMS facility, illustrating the diverse procurement activities undertaken by municipal agencies. The overall process underscores transparency, strict adherence to submission protocols, and clear communication channels for bid evaluation and award notification.
