2016, PMAA, 4261, Liquid Oxygen Tank

The State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, on behalf of the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, is soliciting competitive quotations for the procurement of one refurbished 6000-gallon liquid oxygen tank equipped with a 5000 SCFH minimum ambient air vaporizer, dual final line assembly, and solar/cellular telemetry unit. The vendor must provide complete installation services, including delivery to Mount Shavano Hatchery in Salida, Colorado, with all necessary rigging and crane services, and must pipe the system to the existing line at the pad site. The procurement is being conducted through a Documented Quote (DQ1) process, with bids due December 4, 2015, at 3:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time, and a written inquiry deadline of December 1, 2015. Award is expected by December 8, 2015, with delivery and installation required to be completed on or before May 1, 2016. Bidders must submit four required documents: bid pricing, specification verification, vendor information sheet, and a current IRS Form W-9. The state intends to make a single award to one vendor, with all bid costs including delivery, installation, and any applicable trade-in values or discounts to be included in the final bid price, with the state bearing no responsibility for shipping or freight charges.

The solicitation documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular classes of vendors or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with insurance requirements, including workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate, and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, with the State of Colorado named as an additional insured, with all coverage remaining in effect throughout the contract term and requiring 45 days' notice for cancellation or non-renewal. The documentation does not provide an explicit budget range or award value; however, vendors are responsible for all costs associated with procurement, delivery, installation, rigging, and crane services as part of their bid submission. Failure to submit all required documentation will result in a non-responsive bid that will not be evaluated.
