General Conditions & Instructions to Bidders
This section outlines the requirements, conditions, and procedures for bidding on fleet asset purchases for the City of
Dayton. Bidders must carefully review and comply with all provisions to ensure their bid is considered responsive.
Bidding Instructions
Bidders must provide new and unused equipment that meets the City of Dayton's design, construction, and operational
requirements as outlined in these specifications. Responses to all specification fields are required to avoid proposal
rejection. Failure to respond to any required fields may result in disqualification.
Bidders are responsible for supplying a complete unit with all standard features included in the manufacturer's latest
model in current production. All equipment must comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations,
including but not limited to design requirements, noise levels, brakes, lights, and safety standards.
The specifications listed in this document represent minimum requirements. If a manufacturer's standard equipment
does not fully comply with these requirements but can be modified to meet specifications, such modifications must be
clearly documented and submitted in writing with the bid. Unless otherwise stated, all equipment must be installed by
the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Non-OEM installations require written approval from the City of Dayton and must be accompanied by supporting
literature submitted with the bid. The City of Dayton reserves the right to waive minor technicalities, reject any or all
bids, and accept the bid that is determined to be in the best interest of the City.
Bidding Restrictions
Bids will only be accepted from dealers located within the State of Ohio. Bidders must be direct employees of the
dealership submitting the bid. Third-party bids will not be considered.
All bidders must have the ability to enter orders directly into the manufacturer's order bank without any third-party
involvement. Proof of this capability, along with proof of dealership employment and location, must be included in the
bid submission.
The dealership's sales representative responsible for the bid must be present onsite during vehicle delivery. A hard paper
copy invoice must be provided at the time of delivery.
Warranty
Bidders must guarantee that all manufacturer warranty services will be honored at authorized and franchised dealer
service centers located within the State of Ohio. Warranty service must be
available at one or more authorized service locations reasonably accessible to the City of Dayton for the duration of the
warranty period.
The bid must include detailed warranty service contact information, including the company name(s), service location(s),
and contact person(s). Failure to provide adequate warranty service availability or required documentation may result in
bid rejection.
Warranty acceptance is subject to the approval of the Fleet Manager and will be a key factor in determining the lowest
and best bid. A warranty certificate or card must be supplied with the vehicle at the time of delivery.

Delivery
The successful bidder coordinates the unit's transportation and insurance until delivery to the City of Dayton, Division
of Fleet Management at 1010 Ottawa Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402.
Time is of the essence. Delivery requirements shall be based on the method of vehicle acquisition. Vehicles available
from existing dealer inventory at the time of order ("on-the-lot" vehicles) must be delivered within ninety (90) calendar
days after receipt of a purchase order. Vehicles ordered through a manufacturer's order bank must be delivered within
one hundred twenty (120) to one hundred fifty (150) calendar days after receipt of a purchase order, subject to
manufacturer production schedules. Bidders must clearly identify in their bid whether vehicles are offered as on-the-lot
inventory or order bank units. Delivery time may be considered in bid evaluation and shall be a contractual obligation.
Extensions to delivery timelines may be considered only for documented manufacturer delays beyond the bidder's
control and must be approved in writing by the City. Failure to meet the applicable delivery requirements may result in
remedies as provided in the contract.
To ensure readiness for operation, all vehicles must be delivered with the fuel tank at least 14 full.
