Description

The University of Guelph seeks one new or qualifying used or demonstration research plot combine for harvesting cereals, beans, soybeans, camelina, and canola while keeping research samples separate. The unit must meet the stated plot-width and plot-type requirements, include an enclosed cab and a HarvestMaster H3 or equivalent data-collection system with required hardware and software, and be suitable for transport on Ontario roads. Used equipment must be a 2025 model or newer, have fewer than 300 operating hours, and be well maintained. The supplier must deliver the combine by June 15, 2027, and provide setup, calibration, testing, on-site user training, manuals, at least a one-year manufacturer's warranty, and ongoing maintenance and technical support. Proposals must include the required submission and supplier representation forms, a technical questionnaire, a technical response to the rated criteria, and a pricing proposal; additional equipment options require separate technical questionnaires and pricing proposals. The agreement term runs until completion of the deliverables. The contract requires commercial general liability insurance of at least $5 million per occurrence and professional liability insurance of at least $2 million per occurrence if applicable. Proof of insurance is due before final agreement execution, not with the proposal.
