The Benton County Environmental Division issued an open Request for Bid on December 4 2022 to acquire a new (2022‑or‑newer) small grappling truck for environmental material handling. The bid closed on December 15 2022, and the contract was later awarded to Custom Truck One Source. The required vehicle must meet detailed chassis, crane, and body specifications, including a Freightliner M2 chassis, Cummins diesel engine, and Fassi crane, and must be fully equipped with emissions compliance, safety features, and a robust steel body. The procurement emphasized competition, encouraging small, minority‑ and women‑owned businesses, though no set‑aside was mandated. The award process follows standard RFB procedures with sealed hard‑copy and electronic submissions, and the contract will be a non‑exclusive, firm‑fixed‑price purchase of a single, complete grappling truck.
