Request for Quotations: Chelan County Mobile Water Tank Procurement

Chelan County Natural Resource Department (CCNRD) is requesting formal quotations from qualified vendors for the procurement and delivery of up to ten (10) mobile water tanks outfitted with all necessary attachments to allow for the transfer of water between mobile tanks and Fire District water transport vehicles. Once procured, tanks will be staged in areas which have limited to no water availability to aid in combatting wildfires in remote, high-risk fire-sheds in Chelan County, WA. This project is funded through the Rural Development Office of the US Department of Agriculture, the Chelan County Public Utility District, and a federally funded Community Wildfire Defense Grant.

The contracted Vendor will be responsible for tanks outfitted with all necessary attachments which meet the requirements listed below, and facilitating delivery to an agreed upon location in Chelan County. Actual delivery locations and dates may vary, and will be coordinated with CCNRD and applicable partners. But for the purposes of bidding, Vendors should assume deliver to the Lake Wenatchee State Airport in Plain, WA. The actual number of tanks procured will be contingent on available funding. The contracted Vendor will be responsible for all work including furnishing of any labor, equipment, personnel, supervision, materials and travel necessary for the final delivery of tanks and attachments. CCNRD will help coordinate and facilitate delivery locations between the Contracted Vendor.

The bid opening date for this project is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026. The bids received will be publicly opened and read on this date at 11:00 AM, or as soon as possible thereafter. All bids shall be marked “CHELAN COUNTY MOBILE WATER TANK PROCUREMENT” on the outside of the envelope. The Board of County Commissioners reserves the right to reject any or all bids for cause.

Reference drawings and images of the desired type and style of mobile water tank and requested attachments are included as examples in in Appendix B of the RFQ document. All questions regarding this RFQ can be directed via email to Stephen Lesky.
