The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking a competitive sealed bid for an Agency Contract to procure an Aggregate Spray Pothole Patcher under RFX 3160006790. The procurement requires a trailer-mounted pothole patcher with specific technical specifications, including a diesel engine, centrifugal blower, compressor, and an air conveyor system capable of delivering aggregate in a continuous pressurized stream. The equipment must meet detailed technical requirements for trailer dimensions, air filtration, tank capacity, heating systems, controls, and operational capabilities. Bidders must provide full service and warranty support, along with comprehensive technical manuals and service bulletins. Key procurement dates include the bid opening on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 10:30 AM CST, with the final day for submitting questions set for August 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM CST. Vendors must complete their responses through the MAGIC Supplier Self-Service portal, providing information such as years in business, pricing, delivery timelines, and supplier product numbers.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors must complete an Employment Eligibility Verification (EEV) certification. The contract term is structured to run from Commission Approval through March 31, 2025, with a potential extension of up to six additional months. Pricing will remain consistent throughout the contract period, and the Mississippi Transportation Commission is exempt from sales and use taxes. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors should be prepared to provide the pothole patcher on an "as-needed" basis, with delivery F.O.B. statewide to MDOT locations. The contract is subject to fund availability and may be terminated for convenience or default. Potential bidders must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including executive orders related to equal opportunity and employment eligibility. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities, provide comprehensive service support, and meet the detailed specifications outlined in the bid documentation.
