Aerial Lift Preventative Maintenance & Repair Services - Region 5

The Massachusetts Trial Court's Office of Court Management is seeking a contractor for aerial lift preventative maintenance and repair services in Region 5, covering Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk Counties. The procurement involves comprehensive maintenance and inspection services for various aerial work platforms and lifts located across multiple courthouse facilities, including locations in Brighton, Dorchester, Roxbury, West Roxbury, Cambridge, Chelsea, and Somerville. The contract requires annual OSHA/ANSI inspections, preventative maintenance, employee training, and as-needed repair services for specific aerial lift equipment from manufacturers such as Sky-Jack, Genie, JLG, and Traveler. Evaluation criteria will weight pricing at 85%, supplier diversity at 5%, and prompt payment discount at 10%. Key procurement dates include a February 5, 2025 deadline for questions, with answers posted by February 2, 2025, and a final proposal submission deadline of February 18, 2025 at 12:00 pm through COMM buys. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1M commercial general liability and $1M vehicle liability insurance.

The procurement appears open to multiple business types, with a notable emphasis on supplier diversity through the evaluation criteria. Contractors must provide employee training in the first year for all lift users and subsequently for new hires in years two and three of the 26-month contract period (running from April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028). While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the 5% supplier diversity weighting suggests potential preference for diverse vendors. All parts used must be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or equivalent, and repair costs are considered outside the primary contract scope. Pricing will be submitted per lift per fiscal year using Attachment B, with contractors required to detail annual costs for inspections, preventative maintenance, training, and repair services. The contract covers approximately 20 aerial lifts across multiple courthouse locations, with potential total contract value dependent on the specific pricing submitted by bidders.
