Tire Management Services

The Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit in Ithaca, New York, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive tire management services for its fleet of transit buses and support vehicles. The agency needs to minimize vehicle downtime through timely delivery, installation, and service response. This procurement aims to secure high-quality new and retread tires, along with professional maintenance services, to support county-wide transit operations. The scope of work covers furnishing both new and retread tires, as well as mounting them properly after cleaning and preparing bead surfaces. The selected vendor must transport all wheels and tires requiring replacement to and from the agency facility, returning removed tires as retreads within one week. Additionally, the project requires adjusting tire quantities as fleet composition changes, alongside providing tire rotation, balancing, and alignment services. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is looking for proposal pricing rather than specifying a set budget. The contract period will span three years. The agency will hold a pre-bid meeting on June 11, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 16, 2026.
