Cardboard Compactor

The State of New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is seeking bids for Request for Bid (RFB 55-26) to procure and install a new cardboard compactor at NH Liquor & Wine Outlet Store #55 in Bedford. The procurement requires a vendor to remove and dispose of an existing Reaction Distributing model TV-3000-8 vertical compactor, while leaving the cylinder on-site, and subsequently supply and install a new 8-yard capacity compactor. Mandatory site visitation periods are scheduled for October 22, 2025 (1:00 PM to 2:00 PM) and October 28, 2025 (1:00 PM to 2:00 PM), with the bid submission deadline set for November 5, 2025 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes labor for removal, cost of the new PTR PSC-6 cardboard compactor (or equivalent), and installation labor. Evaluation criteria include submitting a conforming bid at the lowest cost, with the contract to be awarded in the form of a purchase order.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the bid documents. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive general liability insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate prior to contract award. The successful vendor is required to provide a one-year warranty covering parts, labor, shipping, travel, and expenses, or the manufacturer's standard warranty, whichever is longer. Payment will be processed via ACH within 30 days of invoice receipt or completion of delivery and acceptance, with invoices to be submitted to apdept@liquor.nh.gov. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors must include all delivery and installation costs in their pricing, with special charges or fuel surcharges prohibited. The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to award by item or portion thereof, and all submitted bids will remain valid for 180 days from the bid closing date.
