4 x 2 truck chassis

The State of Idaho, specifically the Idaho Department of Transportation through the Division of Purchasing, is seeking to procure three 4x2 Truck Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 33,000 pounds, which will be upfitted with a Guardrail Post Pounder. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) #434 requires vendors to provide truck chassis that meet detailed technical specifications, including requirements for the cab, frame, suspension, axles, wheels, tires, diesel engine, transmission, brakes, and electrical systems. A mandatory pre-bid/build meeting will be held approximately 10 days after the ITB posting, with bids to be submitted electronically via the Idaho Electronic Procurement System (IPRO). The bid submission deadline is November 13, 2024, and the contract award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest total cost as presented on the provided Bid Schedule. Vendors must attend the mandatory pre-bid meeting, provide comprehensive warranty information, submit a written manufacturer's agreement, and complete the State of Idaho Signature Page. The successful vendor will be expected to deliver the truck chassis within 200 calendar days after contract award.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents, the ITB outlines comprehensive insurance requirements that vendors must meet. The procurement is specific to Ada County and is intended to support the Idaho Transportation Department's operational needs. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The estimated budget appears to be for three truck chassis, with pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Bidders are required to provide fully burdened total costs, which must include all operating and personnel expenses. The initial contract term is anticipated to be one year, with potential extension possibilities through mutual agreement. Successful vendors must demonstrate compliance with all technical specifications, provide appropriate documentation, and meet the delivery timeline of 200 days post-contract award.
