need for an appropriate and accessible restroom solution during the
interim period while the permanent combo restroom-concession building
is under construction.
Once the permanent facility is completed, the trailer can be repurposed
for future park construction projects, city events, and temporary rentals
citywide.
MAINTENANCE:For fiscal year 2024-2025, the City has budgeted approximately $25,000
for ongoing maintenance, including but not limited to professional waste
pump-out disposal, tank treatment, and freshwater tank services.

is seeking equipment, products, or services that meet the general requirements of the scope of
this RFP and that are commonly desired or are required by law or industry standards.
9
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #092922
Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
Page 4
B. REQUESTED EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES
It is expected that proposers will offer a wide array of equipment, products, or services at lower
prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to a single government
entity, a school district, or a regional cooperative.
1. Sourcewell is seeking proposals for Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and
Services, including open, enclosed and specialty trailers such as:
a. Semi, utility, dump, lowboys, tags, hydraulic lift, flatbeds, deck overs, drop-deck tilt,
rollbacks, slide axle, tanker, gooseneck, car haulers, stock, cargo, sport, walking floor,
roll-off, storage, construction job, and refrigerated;
b. Mobile offices and concessions; and,
c. Mobile command stations and incident response.
2. The primary focus of this solicitation is on trailer manufacturing and not on a
Proposer’s ability to provide turn-key solutions by upfitting a trailer with trailer
mounted equipment.
3. This solicitation does not include those equipment, products, or services covered under
categories included in contracts currently maintained by Sourcewell:
a. Heavy Construction Equipment with Related Accessories, Attachments, and Supplies
(RFP #032119)

Attachments, Accessories, and Supplies (RFP #040319)
c. Portable Construction Equipment with Related Accessories and Attachments (RFP
#041719)

Proposers may include related equipment, accessories, and services to the extent that these

Generally, the solutions for Participating Entities are turn-key solutions, providing a
combination of equipment, products and services, delivery, and installation to a properly
10
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #092922
Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
Page 5
operating status. However, equipment-only or products-only solutions may be appropriate for
situations where Participating Entities possess the ability, either in-house or through local third-
party contractors, to properly install and bring to operation the equipment or products being
proposed.
Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment,
products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the
equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all
included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers,
resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must
address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and
describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be
available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.
Sourcewell encourages suppliers to offer the broadest possible selection of equipment,
products, and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the
largest possible cross-section of Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities.
C. REQUIREMENTS
It is expected that proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and
regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services
to Participating Entities.
1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or
regulatory standards or codes.
2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be
identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide
equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services.
3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new,
current model; however, proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if
it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.
4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the proposal, equipment and
products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.
5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a
warranty that is the industry standard or better.
D. ANTICIPATED CONTRACT TERM
Sourcewell anticipates that the term of any resulting contract(s) will be four years, with an
optional one-year extension that may be offered based on the best interests of Sourcewell and
its Participating Entities.
11
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #092922
Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
Page 6
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from
contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $50 Million; therefore, proposers
are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the
contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract
are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.
The proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or
dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is
expected that proposer will promote and market any contract award.
G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Contracts will be awarded to proposers able to best meet the need of Participating
Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or
services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.
2. A proposer may submit only one proposal. If related, affiliated, or subsidiary entities
elect to submit separate proposals, rather than a single parent-entity proposal, each
such proposal must be prepared independently and without cooperation, collaboration,
or collusion.
3. If a proposer works with a consultant on its proposal, the consultant (an individual or
company) may not assist any other entity with a proposal for this solicitation.
4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell
cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves
the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer,
including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
5. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to
organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the
requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be
based on a subcategory.
6. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its
Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be
considered in the evaluation of a proposal.
III. PRICING
A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
12
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #092922
Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
Page 7
1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of
these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must
indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.”
b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from
a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price
(MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be
applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible
for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this
pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any
contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which
equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is
permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.
3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).
4. Clearly understandable, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the
cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its
intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).
Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or
service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial
inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to
the proposer. Additionally, proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or
delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Proposers awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in
exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally
calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entities for all contracted equipment,
products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two
percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see
attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be
available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal
requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict
Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and
evaluation.
13
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #092922
Trailers with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services
Page 8
To request a modification to the template Contract, a proposer must submit the Exceptions to
Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table with its proposal. Only those exceptions noted at the
time of the proposal submission will be considered.
Exceptions must:
1. Clearly identify the affected article and section.
2. Clearly note the requested modification; and as applicable, provide requested
alternative language.
Unclear requests will be automatically denied.
Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract

to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract
award may be revoked.

in Supplier’s product and pricing list. Unless agreed to by the Participating Entities in advance,

the Contract term, Supplier must provide to Sourcewell a current means to validate or
authenticate Supplier’s authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers relative to the Equipment,

current information.
3. PRICING
All Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract will be priced at or below the price
stated in Supplier’s Proposal.
When providing pricing quotes to Participating Entities, all pricing quoted must reflect a
Participating Entity’s total cost of acquisition. This means that the quoted cost is for delivered

includes all costs to the Participating Entity’s requested delivery location.
Regardless of the payment method chosen by the Participating Entity, the total cost associated
with any purchase option of the Equipment, Products, or Services must always be disclosed in
the pricing quote to the applicable Participating Entity at the time of purchase.
A. SHIPPING AND SHIPPING COSTS. All delivered Equipment and Products must be properly
packaged. Damaged Equipment and Products may be rejected. If the damage is not readily
apparent at the time of delivery, Supplier must permit the Equipment and Products to be
30
092922-AGO
Rev. 3/2022 3
returned within a reasonable time at no cost to Sourcewell or its Participating Entities.
Participating Entities reserve the right to inspect the Equipment and Products at a reasonable
time after delivery where circumstances or conditions prevent effective inspection of the
Equipment and Products at the time of delivery. In the event of the delivery of nonconforming
Equipment and Products, the Participating Entity will notify the Supplier as soon as possible and
the Supplier will replace nonconforming Equipment and Products with conforming Equipment
and Products that are acceptable to the Participating Entity.
Supplier must arrange for and pay for the return shipment on Equipment and Products that arrive
in a defective or inoperable condition.
Sourcewell may declare the Supplier in breach of this Contract if the Supplier intentionally

B. SALES TAX. Each Participating Entity is responsible for supplying the Supplier with valid tax-
exemption certification(s). When ordering, a Participating Entity must indicate if it is a tax-
exempt entity.
C. HOT LIST PRICING. At any time during this Contract, Supplier may offer a specific selection
of Equipment, Products, or Services at discounts greater than those listed in the Contract.
When Supplier determines it will offer Hot List Pricing, it must be submitted electronically to
Sourcewell in a line-item format. Equipment, Products, or Services may be added or removed
from the Hot List at any time through a Sourcewell Price and Product Change Form as defined
in Article 4 below.
Hot List program and pricing may also be used to discount and liquidate close-out and
discontinued Equipment and Products as long as those close-out and discontinued items are
clearly identified as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. Hot List
Pricing must be published and made available to all Participating Entities.
4. PRODUCT AND PRICING CHANGE REQUESTS
Supplier may request Equipment, Product, or Service changes, additions, or deletions at any
time. All requests must be made in writing by submitting a signed Sourcewell Price and Product
Change Request Form to the assigned Sourcewell Supplier Development Administrator. This
approved form is available from the assigned Sourcewell Supplier Development Administrator.
At a minimum, the request must:

x Provide sufficient detail to justify the requested change;
31

effective date of the modified pricing, or product addition or deletion. The new pricing
restatement must include all Equipment, Products, and Services offered, even for those
items where pricing remains unchanged.

to this Contract and will be incorporated by reference.
5. PARTICIPATION, CONTRACT ACCESS, AND PARTICIPATING ENTITY REQUIREMENTS
A. PARTICIPATION. Sourcewell’s cooperative contracts are available and open to public and
nonprofit entities across the United States and Canada; such as federal, state/province,
municipal, K-12 and higher education, tribal government, and other public entities.
The benefits of this Contract should be available to all Participating Entities that can legally
access the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract. A Participating Entity’s
authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal,
or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service
Member of Sourcewell during such time of access. Supplier understands that a Participating
Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating
Entities reserve the right to obtain like Equipment, Products, or Services from any other source.
Supplier is responsible for familiarizing its sales and service forces with Sourcewell contract use
eligibility requirements and documentation and will encourage potential participating entities
to join Sourcewell. Sourcewell reserves the right to add and remove Participating Entities to its
roster during the term of this Contract.

owned facilities, including schools. Supplier’s employees and agents must conduct themselves

policies and procedures, and all applicable laws.
6. PARTICIPATING ENTITY USE AND PURCHASING
A. ORDERS AND PAYMENT. To access the contracted Equipment, Products, or Services under
this Contract, a Participating Entity must clearly indicate to Supplier that it intends to access this
Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and
Supplier. Typically, a Participating Entity will issue an order directly to Supplier or its authorized
subsidiary, distributor, dealer, or reseller. If a Participating Entity issues a purchase order, it
may use its own forms, but the purchase order should clearly note the applicable Sourcewell
32
092922-AGO
Rev. 3/2022 5
contract number. All Participating Entity orders under this Contract must be issued prior to
expiration or cancellation of this Contract; however, Supplier performance, Participating Entity
payment obligations, and any applicable warranty periods or other Supplier or Participating
Entity obligations may extend beyond the term of this Contract.
Supplier’s acceptable forms of payment are included in its attached Proposal. Participating
Entities will be solely responsible for payment and Sourcewell will have no liability for any
unpaid invoice of any Participating Entity.
B. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS/PARTICIPATING ADDENDUM. Additional terms and
conditions to a purchase order, or other required transaction documentation, may be
negotiated between a Participating Entity and Supplier, such as job or industry-specific
requirements, legal requirements (e.g., affirmative action or immigration status requirements),
or specific local policy requirements. Some Participating Entities may require the use of a
Participating Addendum, the terms of which will be negotiated directly between the
Participating Entity and the Supplier or its authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers, as
applicable. Any negotiated additional terms and conditions must never be less favorable to the
Participating Entity than what is contained in this Contract.
C. SPECIALIZED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the Participating Entity requires
service or specialized performance requirements not addressed in this Contract (such as e-
commerce specifications, specialized delivery requirements, or other specifications and
requirements), the Participating Entity and the Supplier may enter into a separate, standalone
agreement, apart from this Contract. Sourcewell, including its agents and employees, will not
be made a party to a claim for breach of such agreement.
D. TERMINATION OF ORDERS. Participating Entities may terminate an order, in whole or
in part, immediately upon notice to Supplier in the event of any of the following events:
1. The Participating Entity fails to receive funding or appropriation from its governing body
at levels sufficient to pay for the equipment, products, or services to be purchased; or
2. Federal, state, or provincial laws or regulations prohibit the purchase or change the
Participating Entity’s requirements.

Participating Entity’s order will be determined by the Participating Entity making the purchase.
