Description
The City of Toledo is seeking bids for the acquisition of approximately four three‑quarter‑ton crew‑cab pickup trucks equipped with 8‑ft snow‑plow attachments (one truck may also receive an over‑land truck cap). The solicitation requires electronic submission via the PlanetBids portal, with line‑item pricing quoted to two decimal places, and mandatory documentation including project paperwork, bid guaranty, signed contract, and detailed specifications.

The award will be based on a “lowest and best” evaluation, considering price, past performance, and minority‑business participation.

• Procurement method: Open electronic bid (PlanetBids) with a 60‑day bid validity period.
