Aspen aerial OEM parts and components

The West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways Equipment Division, is seeking to establish an open-ended contract for Aspen Aerial Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Parts and Components through a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ). The procurement focuses on electrical and hydraulic components for specific Aspen Aerial equipment models (A-75, A-62, A-52, and A-40), including 15 line items such as solenoid valves, coils, GFI outlets, relays, switches, pressure gauges, contact blocks, decals, foot switches, emergency stops, and counterbalance valves. Vendors must submit a current product catalog and are required to provide consulting services for part installation, with the ability to quote either a discount or markup percentage on catalog prices. The solicitation requires vendors to carry sufficient inventory to fulfill contract obligations and provide quarterly reports detailing purchases. Key dates include a May 23, 2025, deadline for vendor questions at 10:00 AM, with final quotes due on May 29, 2025, at 1:30 PM. The contract will be awarded to the vendor offering the lowest overall Total Bid Cost while meeting all specified requirements.

The procurement appears to have potential preferences for small, women-owned, or minority-owned businesses, with provisions for reciprocal preference policies. Vendors must complete mandatory registration prior to contract award, potentially incurring a $125 fee if applicable. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability coverage. The contract is structured as a one-year term with potential for three successive one-year renewals, contingent on mutual written consent from the Agency, Purchasing Division, and Attorney General's office. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement covers 15 different component types with estimated quantities ranging from 5 to 24 units per item. Delivery expectations include a five-working-day turnaround after order receipt, with shipping and crating costs to be invoiced separately. The procurement emphasizes compliance with state regulations, including domestic steel and aluminum product preferences and various ethical procurement practices.
