BID-PW- Rental of Heavy Equipment WITHOUT Operator

The City of Minneapolis is seeking qualified vendors to rent a broad inventory of heavy construction equipment (excavators, cranes, loaders, dozers, rollers, etc.) without operators. Bidders must submit a unit price and an hourly rental rate for each equipment type; the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The award will be a fixed‑price, one‑year contract (with possible extensions) and the city will supply its own operators. Equipment must be delivered by the specified due date. • Open competitive sealed bidding (no multiple bids allowed). • Contract value expected to be at or above $175,000, invoking standard city procurement terms. • Vendors must meet insurance, responsible‑contractor, and civil‑rights compliance requirements. • No specific equipment list is mandated; bidders may propose any heavy‑equipment categories listed in the bid form.
