Description
The City of Mobile Motor Pool issued a sealed, all‑or‑none bid (later amended to per‑item award) for the procurement of at least two Bobcat‑type skid‑steer loaders, an angle‑broom attachment, and an industrial grapple bucket, with a requirement for a five‑year maintenance plan. Vendors were required to submit paper bids by 11:00 a.m. on September 26, 2019, provide a 5 % bid bond, meet E‑Verify and Alabama Certificate of Authority requirements, and quote firm FOB Mobile prices. No award was made due to spec‑to‑need mismatches.
• Required equipment: minimum two S595‑type skid‑steer loaders (or equal) plus specific angle‑broom and grapple attachments.
• Procurement method: sealed paper bid, initially “all‑or‑none,” later changed to per‑item award (Addendum II).
• Compliance: 5 % bid bond, E‑Verify, out‑of‑state licensing, 6‑month price validity, and a 20‑day delivery window after PO receipt.
