RFQ032216 - Sewer Combination Trucks UTC

The City of Columbus is issuing a Best‑Value Procurement to establish a three‑year Universal Term Contract (with one optional one‑year extension) for the purchase, delivery, and support of new sewer‑combination trucks. Vendors will be evaluated on total cost of ownership, product quality, past performance, and acquisition cost. The contract will likely result in the purchase of approximately one truck per year (up to two in a given year). The solicitation requires detailed technical compliance (engine, transmission, chassis, water‑jet system, hose reel, toolboxes, lighting, safety, warranty, and training). Pricing is not to be submitted with the initial proposal; it will be requested later from finalists. The City will handle delivery, inspection, and warranty administration, and expects on‑site operator/mechanic training and later manufacturer‑specific training. • Supply of new diesel‑powered sewer‑combination trucks (single‑ or tandem‑axle) meeting extensive mechanical and safety specs. • Provision of 800‑ft high‑pressure hose reel (600 ft supplied) and preferred Parker hose/fittings. • Required dual‑side toolbox configuration plus additional small‑item toolboxes. • Contract includes 12‑month manufacturer warranty, on‑site training, and optional one‑year extension.
