2023 Cushion Blade Bid Results

This document records the results of a 2023 procurement by the Waupaca County Highway Department for a variety of cushion‑mount and related blades, clamp bars, curb bumpers, and back‑support accessories. Individual line‑item awards were made to a range of equipment manufacturers, each with specific unit prices, part numbers, and delivery lead times ranging from two weeks to ten weeks. Freight terms vary, with most vendors offering “Freight Included” but a few charging explicit freight amounts (e.g., $1,100 for an Oct‑23 Esco Bucyrus order). The bid results serve as a price reference for future purchases of similar road‑maintenance equipment and illustrate a multi‑vendor, open‑competition procurement process. • Items include carbide and rubber‑carbide cushion‑mount blades, curb bumpers, clamp bars, and back‑board support blades. • Prices per unit hover between $30 for small accessories and $600 for larger back‑support blades. • Lead times span 2–10 weeks, with Esco Bucyrus offering the quickest turnaround (3‑5 weeks).
