3) Date of Bid Opening: Monday, December 15, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.

County offices are not open for mail or other deliveries on Fridays, weekends, County holidays, or

inclement weather closures. The County assumes no responsibility either for delays in USPS mail or

County interoffice mail services, or for bids delivered to County offices or personnel other than to the

specified office and personnel. Bids received after the date and time stated in this call for bids will not

be accepted and will be returned unopened to Bidder. There will be no exceptions or waivers of this

requirement.

RCW 39.34 allows cooperative purchasing between public agencies in the State of Washington. Other

public entities (cities, school districts, and so forth) which have filed an interlocal cooperative joint

purchasing agreement with the County may elect to rent equipment from the vendor based on the

terms and conditions of this agreement, subject to vendor’s consent.

Firm prices are solicited for the rental of equipment used for Public Works maintenance and

construction activities. The County does not guarantee to rent any specific piece of equipment and will

not expect the bidders to furnish any piece of equipment that is not available or already in use. This is

to be considered an open-ended bid inasmuch as equipment will be rented against this bid for the year

2025. Actual rentals will be made as needed by Cowlitz County, based upon the following

requirements: 1) cost of equipment; 2) location of equipment; 3) size/type of equipment; and 4)

equipment availability.

Suppliers may submit prices on any or all pieces of equipment that they will have regularly available. If

space is needed to provide additional information, the bidder should attach a separate sheet of paper

to this bid.

Payment will be made according to State Statute, in the month following use of the equipment,

provided a detailed invoice has been furnished by the supplier. Cowlitz County will accept no additional

charges including, but not limited to freight, fuel surcharges and other charges. This includes bulk

orders processed by the vendor and drop-shipped to the County. Prices may be increased with 30 days

notice from the vendor. The price increase will be limited to an amount equal to the increase in cost to

the vendor by the manufacturer. Written proof of the cost increase from the manufacturer shall be

provided upon request.

Specifications and proposals will be furnished, upon request, by the Cowlitz County Department of

Public Works, 1600 - 13th Avenue South, Kelso, WA 98626, telephone (360) 577-3030. The bid

proposal, bid specifications, and bid results may also be viewed on the Cowlitz County Department of

Public Works internet website at https://www.co.cowlitz.wa.us/Bids.aspx?CatID=37.

All documents received in response to this invitation to bid will become a matter of public record and

subject to the Washington Public Disclosure Act under Chapter 42.56 RCW.

The Board of County Commissioners reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive informalities

and to accept other than the low bid if it appears to be in the best interest of the County.

DATED this 25th day of November, 2025.
