Compact Track Loader

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) Event #337 for the procurement of one (1) Compact Track Loader to be delivered to ITD District 3 in Boise, Idaho. The procurement requires a machine with specific technical specifications, including a minimum 110 horsepower diesel engine, high flow hydraulics, an enclosed rollover protective structure cab, and other detailed equipment features. Bids must be submitted electronically via the Idaho e-Procurement System (IPRO) by June 28, 2024, at 4:59:59 PM Mountain Time, with desired delivery within 120 days of award. The compact track loader must be warranted against defects for 36 months or 1,500 hours, and the successful contractor will be required to provide equipment manuals and on-site training. Evaluation will be based on total cost, with the contract awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. The ITD will require the vendor to complete a comprehensive Bid Schedule, verify product specifications, and provide supporting descriptive literature if the proposed product does not fully meet the stated requirements.

The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit requirements for disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, though vendors are expected to provide a fully burdened total cost for the compact track loader. Insurance requirements will be stringent, with the contractor needing to provide commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and its agencies to be named as additional insureds. The State will require insurance certificates prior to contract commencement, and policies must be obtained from insurers rated A-VII or better. While no specific contract value is listed, the procurement is for a direct purchase of a single piece of heavy equipment with comprehensive technical specifications and training requirements.
