Bozeman Hill Truck Parking Area Maintenance

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Bozeman Hill Truck Parking Area Maintenance, seeking a service provider to perform comprehensive rest area maintenance services. The procurement is structured for a 12-month contract period from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2020, with a single service line item for monthly maintenance activities. Potential bidders are required to attend a mandatory pre-bid site inspection and must submit all questions through the eMACS Q&A Board prior to the bid closing. The bid is due on October 1, 2019, at 2:00 PM MDT, and responses must be submitted through the Montana Acquisition & Contracting System (eMACS). Evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest responsive bid that meets all specified requirements. Bidders must comply with several key requirements, including completing a Dark Money Declaration form, adhering to prevailing wage rates, and demonstrating appropriate state registrations and insurance coverage. The procurement uses commodity code 0608 for Building Maintenance - Rest Area Maintenance, with standard Net 30 payment terms.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, bidders must meet various compliance requirements to be considered responsive. The procurement does not indicate any incumbent vendors or specific infrastructure integration needs. Bidders will need to demonstrate capability to perform monthly maintenance services at the truck parking area, though a specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation. Potential vendors must have appropriate licensing, insurance, and the operational capacity to fulfill the maintenance contract's requirements. The mandatory pre-bid site inspection suggests that on-site capabilities and local presence may be important factors in vendor selection. Interested contractors should carefully review all procurement documents and ensure full compliance with the MDT's specified requirements to be considered for the contract award.
