Shipping Containers for the Fire Department

The City of Ames is accepting bids from vendors for used shipping containers to be used for training purposes for the Fire Department. The containers must be wind water tight (WWT), standard height, and 40ft in length. The City is seeking 7 containers, and the price should be quoted exclusive of all taxes. The containers must be delivered by May 22, 2026. Key points to consider: • The City of Ames is exempt from certain taxes, including State of Iowa Sales and Use Taxes and Manufacturer’s Federal Excise Tax. • The City has a Local Consideration Program, which gives preference to local vendors with a valid local business certificate. • The bid must be made in good faith without collusion or connection with any other person or persons bidding on the work.
