135-25 Portable Salt Conveyors

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking pricing for various types and sizes of portable belt conveyors to transport road salt (3/4" and smaller) from delivery trucks to ODOT salt storage facilities, including domes and storage sheds, across the state. The intent is to obtain established models that can accommodate the unique needs of each ODOT location when the need to purchase new conveyors arises. ODOT is requesting detailed specifications and pricing for the standard features of each conveyor model, as well as any available optional features and associated costs. Delivery of the equipment must be completed within 45 calendar days of a purchase order, and deliveries to ODOT facilities must be made between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The contract will be awarded to all responsive and responsible bidders for a 12-month duration, and ODOT reserves the right to obtain quotes from all awarded vendors to achieve the best pricing. Bidders must be registered with the Ohio Shared Services Office to obtain an OAKS Vendor Identification Number prior to award.

This state and local contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors and does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. ODOT has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the procurement does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The total value of the contract is unknown, as ODOT is seeking to establish pricing for a variety of conveyor models to meet the needs of different locations across the state when the need to purchase new equipment arises.
