The <br /> bidder was therefore allowed to withdraw their bid and a second round of bidding was conducted. <br /> The proposed road tractor, which is similar to trucks typically used to pull large over-the-road trailers, <br /> will make day runs to deliver recycled material to markets within a localized area. In addition, it will be <br /> used to pull other trailers and.equipment used in the Landfill operation, including but not limited to the <br /> wood waste grinder, trommel screen and other large pieces of equipment. <br /> Bids were solicited from fourteen vendors on Orange County Bid Number 243. The second pre-bid <br /> conference held for this vehicle was attended by three vendors. All three responded with bids. <br />
