Acquiring mowers and equipment at the best value for state and municipal properties can often be a struggle. Trying to balance strict procurement procedures with the bid responses of various suppliers can make it difficult to know which company is offering the best value. In addition, productivity can be lost In the lengthy cycle time to procure equipment through a bid process.
More Efficiency Throughout The Process
The timesavings from these contracts can truly simplify not only the selection process but also ongoing budgeting. First, procurement time is shortened. You will be better able to plan your equipment replacement to help ensure the availability of equipment, reducing the risk of downtime.
In addition, there are cooperative contracts established that can be used in lieu of a state contract. By “piggybacking” contracts, you won’t have to start from scratch in each procurement situation. All agencies will be able to spend their time on the high impact initiatives rather than reviewing the same equipment bids over and over.
Keeping It Simple

Working With You
