1148-LiftRent

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically SCI-Graterford in Montgomery County's Arona Borough, is seeking competitive bids for a long-term rental of a 60' telescopic boom lift through an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The procurement is structured for a one-year contract period from November 2014 through October 2015, with two distinct performance periods: November 2014 through June 2015, and July 2015 through October 2015. The primary deliverable is the monthly rental of a telescopic boom lift, with specific requirements for carrier clearance checks and stringent vehicle security procedures when delivering equipment to the correctional facility. Bidders must submit their electronic proposals before the established deadline of October 28, 2014, at 10:00 AM, with all bids to be posted on the DGS Emarket Place website. The bid requires comprehensive monthly rental pricing, with all prices designated as FOB destination, indicating the vendor is responsible for delivery costs to the specified location.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bid without identified preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specific vendor classifications. While the document does not outline an incumbent vendor or specify precise budget ranges, the bid implies a standard commercial equipment rental arrangement for a state correctional facility. The pricing structure suggests monthly rental rates will be the primary evaluation criteria, with potential consideration given to equipment specifications, delivery capabilities, and compliance with security protocols. The contract's anticipated value would be determined by the monthly rental rate multiplied by the contract's duration, which spans approximately 12 months with two distinct performance periods.
