The County of Hawaii, Department of Parks and Recreation, issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a sod cutter. The award will be made to the next low responsible bid for the Ryan Jr. Sod Cutter. The department has experience with the Ryan Jr. model and prefers its pneumatic swiveling rear wheel design for navigating tight turns on ballfields. The successful vendor will be required to deliver the sod cutter to the department's maintenance division.
• The RFQ includes specifications for the sod cutter, including a Honda 4-cycle GX160 engine and a recoil start.
• The vendor must provide a unit price for the sod cutter, not exceeding four decimal places.
• The quotation must be F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid and allowed, and inclusive of all applicable taxes.
• The department has rented a bluebird model in the past but found it difficult to navigate tight turns due to its four-wheel design.
