Description
The Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services is seeking bids to purchase up to 16 new motorcycles (primarily Kawasaki W230, with an alternative Yamaha XT 250 equipped with a lowering kit) and to provide cash trade‑in values for 14 existing Honda Rebel 250s. Bidders must meet strict technical specifications (seat height ≤ 30 in, ≤ 499 cc, manual transmission, etc.), deliver the motorcycles by mid‑April 2027, and assume responsibility for picking up the trade‑in units. The solicitation emphasizes Vermont‑resident preference, U.S‑made product preference, and compliance with environmental and climate‑change certifications.
• Provide a cash‑value for each of the 14 trade‑in Hondas (7 × 2012 Rebel 250, 8 × 2014 Rebel 250).
• Offer up to 16 new motorcycles meeting defined specs, with the primary model being Kawasaki W230 (2025‑2027) or Yamaha XT 250 (2022‑2027) with a lowering kit.
• Deliver all motorcycles (FOB) to the state facility by 15 Apr 2027, with no additional packaging or shipping fees, and include a minimum 1‑year warranty.
