D8 Dewatering Pump

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), is seeking bids for a diesel-powered, 6-inch dewatering pump to be used for highway maintenance projects and public emergency situations. The pump must meet specific requirements, including a minimum 72 HP engine, Tier 4 emissions, 2,700 GPM flow rate, and 195 ft. head rating capable of passing 3-inch solids. Bidders must submit descriptive literature, warranty information, and documentation of service locations within Illinois, as IDOT will consider serviceability, parts availability, and prompt local support as factors in the award decision. The successful bidder must provide operator training and manuals upon delivery, and the equipment must have a minimum 12-month full coverage warranty. The bid is due on March 28, 2023, and IDOT reserves the right to waive minor informalities and will only accept bids from established manufacturers or authorized dealers who can demonstrate their ability to supply the required quantities.

The procurement documents do not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the documents do not provide any information about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that requires integration.
