Description
The City of Ames is seeking qualified vendors to lease one or two all‑wheel‑drive wheel loaders for its Fleet Services Department to support snow and ice removal, blowing, plowing, and loading during the winter season. The lease periods run from November 1 2026 to March 31 2027 (5 months) for one unit and December 1 2026 to March 31 2027 (4 months) for the second unit, with an optional one‑month extension.

The City will handle maintenance and fuel (up to B20 biodiesel) but expects vendors to deliver the equipment by noon on the first weekday of the lease and pick it up promptly after the lease ends. Bids must be submitted by September 22 2026, and questions are due the same day.
