Contract Award for Stand On Blower through Sourcewell Cooperative

The City of Linwood, New Jersey, announces its intent to award a contract for the purchase of a Stand On Blower, a piece of essential grounds and landscape equipment. This procurement is being executed through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program, leveraging their established RFP #112624-SCG. The specific vendor for this acquisition is Scag Power Equipment, facilitated via Progressive Power Equipment, which operates as Cody’s Power Equipment, the designated awardee under the aforementioned Sourcewell contract. This strategic utilization of a national cooperative purchasing agreement, permissible under N.J.S.A. 52:34-6.2, aims to streamline the procurement process while securing necessary equipment for municipal operations, reflecting the City's commitment to efficient resource management and maintenance of public spaces. As this contract is awarded under an existing Sourcewell cooperative agreement, specific contractor qualifications, licenses (such as NJ Public Works Contractor Registration), and experience requirements for individual vendors have been pre-vetted and established by Sourcewell during their initial RFP #112624-SCG process. Consequently, the City of Linwood is not soliciting new qualifications or conducting separate evaluations for this particular purchase. There are no mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits associated with this notice. The Sourcewell contract with Scag Power Equipment has a defined term, effective from February 5, 2025, through January 31, 2029, ensuring a long-term framework for related procurements. This document serves as a notice of contract award and therefore does not require direct bid submissions from external parties; all relevant procurement decisions have already been finalized through the Sourcewell program. The publication date of this notice is March 20, 2026. For further information regarding the Sourcewell contract, interested parties can consult the City Clerk’s Office, located at 400 Poplar Avenue, Linwood, NJ 08221, or access details online at https://sourcewell-mn.gov/cooperative-purchasing/112624-SCG.
