Description
This procurement seeks the purchase of two (2) used vehicles, model‑year 2021 or newer, with the requirement that the vehicles be supplied “less trades” (i.e., no trade‑in from the vendor). The solicitation was posted by the City of Parkersburg Finance Department in May 2025 (Reference No. 2704) and attracted three competing bids. Wherton Auto Group submitted the lowest bid at $24,600 (plus delivery fees), while 4es offered a higher price but included a five‑day delivery commitment and an affidavit. Whiteside of St. Clairsville submitted a bid of $33,800 but did not specify delivery terms. No award decision is shown, and the procurement appears to be an open competition without set‑aside restrictions.
