How to bid on oversized tires and tire services for SacRT

What SacRT is buying

Sacramento Regional Transit District is seeking bids from contractors to supply oversized tires and tire services for its non-revenue vehicles. The work is specified in Section 2.0 of the solicitation.

This RFQ is relevant to vendors that supply oversized tires or provide tire services. The contract is supported by federal financial assistance and includes applicable federal and state requirements.

Deadline and bid validity

Submit your bid through SacRT’s PlanetBids Vendor Portal by 2:00 p.m. on October 30, 2026. The listing also gives a deadline of 5:00 p.m. ET; follow the solicitation’s stated portal submission time of 2:00 p.m.

Your bid must remain valid for 90 days. SacRT may ask bidders to extend that period if it is not ready to award by the end of the 90 days. Any extension is voluntary.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits contractors with relevant qualifications, experience, and knowledge in supplying oversized tires and providing tire services for non-revenue vehicles.

There is no established DBE participation goal. If subcontracting opportunities exist, bidders must ensure DBEs have an opportunity to participate and must not discriminate in awarding or performing subcontracts.

How to access and submit a bid

Open the solicitation on SacRT’s PlanetBids portal to review the scope, dates, and document list. PlanetBids may ask you to complete a human-verification check before the page loads.

Register a free PlanetBids vendor account with SacRT to download documents, receive addenda, and submit your bid electronically. Send solicitation questions through the portal as directed in Section 8.1, Request for Clarification.

Direct all contact about the RFQ only to Procurement staff. Contacting other SacRT individuals about this procurement may result in disqualification.

Prepare a complete, competitive response

Read Section 2.0 and all solicitation documents closely. Check the portal for addenda before submitting, and make sure your response addresses the requested tire supply and services.

Allow time to complete the portal submission before the deadline, and verify that the bid is submitted successfully. Review your pricing and other commitments carefully, since the bid must remain valid for 90 days.

If you plan to subcontract, identify any relevant opportunities and give DBEs a chance to participate. Do not assume DBE certification status without checking current requirements; the solicitation describes reevaluation rules under the federal interim final rule.
