The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking a single new Utility‑type Vehicle (UTV) to support weed‑spraying, water‑control, and fence‑manipulation activities at the Ash Creek Wildlife Area. The vehicle must be brand‑new, latest‑model, and fully compliant with the detailed specifications (engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, dimensions, capacities, etc.). The award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid; the supplier must provide the UTV FOB Destination with freight prepaid, include the $1.75 California Tire Tax, and submit all required certifications and forms. The contract calls for delivery within 120 days after receipt of order and requires the supplier to have the equipment ready for State Auto Inspector inspection within five business days after notification. Small business and DVBE preferences are available, but cash‑discounts are not considered in the award evaluation. • Supply 1 new UTV meeting all technical specs (see Attachment 1). • Deliver FOB Destination, freight prepaid, to Ash Creek Wildlife Area (target receipt by 10/05/2026). • Provide all required certifications (Seller’s Permit, Darfur Act, Payee Data Form, DVBE, CUF, post‑consumer‑content, etc.). • Coordinate delivery with on‑site contact (Rob Schragg) and enable inspection within five business days.
