Government procurement case of the 3308-yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicle in Baotou: From tender preparation to winning bid solution interpretation. In the municipal sanitation sector, sewage treatment vehicles serve as critical equipment for responding to sudden sewage overflows, river remediation, and industrial wastewater treatment; their procurement process typically involves rigorous technical evaluation and budget control. This article uses a municipal sanitation department (referencing the Baotou yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicle procurement case) as an example, integrating CLW Special Purpose Vehicle’s (e.g., model CLW5180GSSD6) practical delivery experience — covering tender preparation, technical specification writing, and winning bid solution interpretation — to provide procurement entities with a comprehensive reference. According to publicly released tender information, the department plans to procure one 3308-mm-wheelbase yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicle, with a budget of approximately RMB 1.7–2.04 million (tax-inclusive landed price), intended for urban pipeline maintenance and emergency response. As one of China’s largest special-purpose vehicle manufacturers, CLW Special Purpose Vehicle has served over 500 municipal sanitation units nationwide, delivering projects such as five water-sprinkler and mist-cannon vehicles for a Guangdong industrial park and fifteen street-sweeping vehicles for Wuhan Municipal Urban Management Bureau. Its products also enjoy strong reputation in the Baotou region. I. Pre-Tender Preparation: Clarifying Requirements and Market Research Prior to launching the tender, the Urban Management Bureau of a district first clarified the core application requirements for the sewage treatment vehicle. Referencing 108 sets of MIIT announcement parameters (e.g., CLW5180GSSD6), yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicles are typically built on chassis from Dongfeng, Sinotruk, or FAW Jiefang, with tank capacities ranging from 8–15 m³, and equipped with high-pressure cleaning systems and sewage separation devices. Through market research, the department found that CLW offers transparent configurations without intermediary markups — saving RMB 8,000–15,000 compared to 4S-channel pricing for identical configurations — while offering nationwide chassis warranty coverage and lifetime upfit service. Regarding budgeting, local procurement practice indicates that the unit price for a 3308-mm-wheelbase yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicle generally falls within RMB 1.5–1.8 million (tax-inclusive landed price), depending on optional configurations (e.g., imported vacuum pumps, automatic control systems, etc.). Mr. Zhang Yue, CLW Sales Manager (Tel: ), advised procurement entities to confirm emission standards (China VI) and registration requirements in advance to avoid post-contract disputes. The department also referenced CLW’s delivery of four cleaning-and-suction vehicles to a municipal sanitation authority in Sichuan Province to verify product reliability under extreme operating conditions. II. Technical Specification Writing: Key Parameters and Performance Requirements The technical specification document is the core tender file. Based on CLW’s product database (946 items across 44 categories), below are typical technical parameters for yellow-plate sewage treatment vehicles, referencing models such as CLW5180GSSD6: Parameter | Technical Requirement | Notes (Source: MIIT Announcement Parameters) ---|---|--- Chassis Model | Dongfeng / Sinotruk / FAW Jiefang, wheelbase 3308 mm | Factory-original chassis with nationwide warranty Tank Capacity | ≥ 8 m³ (yellow-plate standard) | Combined sewage separation tank + clean water tank Emission Standard | China VI | Standard across entire product line Sewage Treatment Capacity | ≥ 30 m³/h | Includes high-pressure cleaning pump and filtration system Drive Configuration | 4×2 | Optimized for urban road use Warranty Period | Chassis: 2 years; Up
