  • Government Projects

    As a government services contractor, you are in a unique position. Once you’ve been awarded a government contract, you have many regulations to juggle, deadlines to meet, and budget restrictions to adhere to.

    Outsourcing your equipment rental logistics to Budget Equipment could be a huge time and cost savings for you. With just one online order or phone call, you can request the equipment you need for your project, anywhere in the country. For example, if you need a warehouse forklift for servicing a utilities facility in one state and a scissor lift to retrofit the lighting in a county hospital a few states over, we can provide those rentals. After you place your order, we handle the rest. We communicate with the supplier and ensure the equipment will be delivered when and where you need it. By passing off the rental logistics part of your workload to us, you free up your time and resources to better meet your project deadlines.

How Government Services Differ From Other Contracts
Bidding on a government services contract is not the same as bidding on a construction project in the private sector. One of the key differences between a private contract and a government contract is in who is paying for the project. Shareholders, individuals, or commercial entities are responsible for financing private construction projects. Government projects, however, are funded by taxpayers. Since the taxpayers themselves don’t have control over how their money is spent, many rules and regulations are in place to ensure that these funds are used properly.

If you’re interested in bidding on a government contract, it’s important that you understand the laws in place regarding the project. Before you can place a bid on any type of state or local government project, you must get the proper bonding and prequalification from that jurisdiction. Each area has its own unique requirements, so you’ll need to investigate the regulations specific to the area where you live. If you’re bidding on a federal contract, you’ll need to comply with the requirements set forth by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

Government contracts typically go only to companies with a strong balance sheet. While contracts invariably go to the lowest bidder, bids aren’t considered at all if the company isn’t deemed responsible and reliable.
