Contracted Tandem Dump Trucks with Operators

1. PURPOSE

The intent of this invitation is to obtain competitive sealed bids from qualified vendors so that

Whitfield County Public Works (WCPW) will have the ability to contract Tandem Axle Dump

Trucks with Operators, on a yearly basis. The Contractor shall furnish all equipment, insurance

and services required to fulfill the terms and conditions of this Invitation to Bid.

In an effort to reduce the counties budget and eliminate unnecessary capital expenses WCPW

will maintain a smaller fleet of Tandem Dump Trucks than in years past. This cost saving

initiative will require the use of contracted trucks and operators to support paving operations or

any other special projects assigned.

2. PRICING

Prices submitted herein shall remain firm for the contract agreement period (from approval

through December 31, 2026), regardless of any changes that may occur as a result of

manufacturer/production changes, factory shutdowns, delivery schedules, inflation in price of

materials and labor, etc.

3. DELIVERY POINT

All materials or items shall be delivered to the specific project site as specified by WCPW.

contract to the most qualified vendor, however, if the selected contractor cannot perform for any

reason, WCPW may utilize the services of the next most qualified vendor until such time that the

most qualified vendor may perform. The intent is for WCPW to have the access to tandem

trucks by working down the list of qualified vendors until the number of tandem trucks required is

secured.

5. COMPLETION OF PERFORMANCE

Bidder will successfully complete the terms of the contract when the materials or items are

delivered as specified and the associated load ticket(s) have been submitted to WCPW.
