Compact Light Towers

The State of Idaho, specifically the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), is conducting a procurement for fifteen (15) compact light towers through Invitation to Bid (ITB) Event 293. The procurement seeks light towers distributed across multiple districts: six units for District 2, six units for District 3, two units for District 5, and one unit for District 6. Technical requirements mandate that the light towers utilize LED lighting, include a diesel engine, and feature a power winch. Vendors must submit bids electronically through IPRO, with the contract award based on the lowest total cost. The ITD requires vendors to provide a minimum two-year warranty covering all parts, labor, and freight for replacement of defective items. The bid submission deadline is set for March 20, 2024, and the ITD reserves the right to inspect delivered light towers and require vendors to correct any discrepancies within 30 calendar days at no additional cost. Bidders must submit detailed pricing information using the provided bid schedule, with the ability to bid on specific districts or the entire set of light towers.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and warranty requirements. While incumbent vendor information is not provided, the procurement documents indicate that vendors must comply with standard state contract terms, including maintenance of specific insurance coverages, with policies rated A-VII or better and authorized to transact business in Idaho. An administrative fee of 1.25% will apply to the contract, and the state reserves the right to terminate the contract if vendors fail to cure defaults within 30 days of written notice. Though exact budget ranges are not specified, the procurement involves fifteen light towers with varying quantities per district, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The contract will likely have an initial term with options for renewal, consistent with standard state procurement practices.
