The County’s Department of Public Works issued an informal request‑for‑bid to acquire a 40,000‑lb capacity tag‑along trailer equipped with a beavertail, ramps, and a suite of optional accessories. The solicitation opened on 17 Nov 2022 and closed for questions on 18 Nov 2022, after which the award was made (status “Awarded”). The technical specifications detail frame construction, suspension, braking, lighting, and optional packages, providing a clear blueprint for any qualified trailer manufacturer or dealer to submit a compliant offer.
• Required trailer: 40 000‑lb GVWR, 30 ft overall length, 8 ft 6 in deck width, beavertail and ramps.

• Optional add‑ons (e.g., paver package, lockable tool‑box, extra deck length, spare wheels) may be quoted separately.
The procurement follows an open‑competition informal RFB process, with the county contact (Pamela Swindell) handling inquiries. No vendor or contract value details are disclosed in the available files.
