The Morris Wetland Management District is seeking to purchase a 6x6 UTV with specific features, including a roll-over protection system, enclosed cab with climate control, power-tilting bed, front winch, and undercarriage protection. The solicitation also involves two trade-in vehicles. Delivery must be FOB Destination to Morris, MN, with the contractor responsible for all associated costs and ensuring the product's good condition upon arrival. The contractor must contact Michael Budd three days prior to delivery to arrange a specific time, as the government will not provide labor or equipment for unloading. If the dealer is within 50 miles, the government will handle pickup and trade-in delivery, and this logistical support should be reflected as a cost saving.
