Equipment Rental Contract

The Mississippi Department of Transportation is seeking bids for an equipment rental contract. The contract period will be from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with the option to extend for up to 12 months at a time, for a total of 36 months. Bidders are invited to submit pricing for various items of rental equipment, including heavy road working equipment, shop equipment, and tools. The bid price for the rental of equipment will remain the same throughout the contract term, and additional fees shall not be added to invoices. Some key points to consider are: • Bidders must submit a proposal and pricing pages as part of their bid. • The lowest responsible bidder in the district where the equipment is needed will be contacted first, and then the next lowest, until the required equipment is obtained. • The Mississippi Transportation Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award one or more of the items in the various proposals to one or more companies. • Purchase orders will be issued on an as-needed basis during the contract term. • The bidder must ensure that all equipment is provided in an operable, safe, and reliable condition, free of mechanical deficiencies that may impact operation. • The Mississippi Transportation Commission is self-insured and will not be required to purchase casualty and liability insurance on the rented equipment.
