INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

ONE (1) CRAWLER DOZER

CITY OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI

1. Scope and Intent

The City of Jackson is soliciting unpriced bid proposals for the purchase of one (1) new, fully assembled

Crawler Dozer. The crawler dozer is being purchased for solid waste / landfill operations. All proposed

equipment must be equal to or exceed the performance, capacity, durability, and safety features of the

specified basis of design.

2. Procurement Method – Multi-Step with Reverse Auction

This is a multi-step competitive procurement:

A. Phase One: Unpriced Technical Proposal

➢ Vendors submit the completed Specification Response Form, descriptive literature, warranty

information, and other required documentation.

➢ The City of Jackson will evaluate submissions for compliance with minimum specifications

and overall acceptability.

➢ Only vendors whose equipment is found compliant or reasonably capable of being made

compliant will be approved to proceed.

B. Phase Two: Online Reverse Auction (Pricing Phase)

➢ PH Bidding Group will issue detailed instructions and login credentials to approved vendors.

➢ Vendors will submit pricing only through the reverse auction platform at the scheduled date and

time.

➢ Bidders will see their ranking but not competitors’ prices. The event may automatically

extend if bids are placed near closing, per PH Bidding Group’s standard rules.

➢ No pricing of any kind is to be included with the unpriced proposal. Pricing will only be accepted

through the Reverse Auction by bidders that are approved to participate.

3. General Requirements

A. All items shall be new, current production, and covered by full manufacturer warranty and support.

B. All equipment shall be shipped FOB Destination, City of Jackson, Mississippi, with all freight and

delivery charges prepaid by the vendor.

C. The bidder bears the burden of demonstrating compliance with specifications through

literature, technical data, and completed response forms.

D. Any exceptions or deviations from the specifications must be clearly stated on a separate sheet

and referenced in the Specification Response Form.

E. The City of Jackson will not accept escalation clauses, fuel surcharges, or other add-on fees beyond the

bid price.

F. Substitutions or equivalent equipment may be proposed provided they meet or exceed all specified

requirements. Any proposed alternate equipment must be clearly identified in the bid submission and

supported with detailed technical documentation demonstrating compliance with the specifications. The

City of Jackson reserves the right to accept or reject any proposed substitution. Approval of an equivalent

does not relieve the bidder of responsibility for equipment performance, durability, compatibility, or

compliance with all bid requirements.

4. Evaluation Criteria

Technical proposals will be evaluated for responsiveness, responsibility, and compliance with the minimum

specifications. Only bidders determined to be technically acceptable and responsible will be invited to

participate in the reverse auction. Following the reverse auction, award may be made to the lowest-priced

responsible bidder whose proposal meets the specifications and is determined to be in the best interest of

the city.
