Deck over flatbed trailer

The Idaho Department of Fish & Game (IDFG) has issued Request for Quote (RFQ) #451 for the procurement of a 22' Deck Over Flatbed Trailer, targeting Minidoka County with a contract opportunity. The solicitation seeks quotes from qualified vendors to provide a trailer meeting specific technical specifications, including minimum requirements for length, width, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), cargo capacity, hitch type, brakes, axles, and suspension. Vendors must submit their quotes electronically via IPRO or email, including required documentation such as price sheets, signature pages, and product brochures/specifications. The RFQ indicates that the award will be made to the responsive, responsible vendor with the lowest total cost, with quotes due by April 11, 2024. Upon award, the successful vendor will be issued a Purchase Order that will incorporate the RFQ and the vendor's bid, with specific requirements for delivery, acceptance, warranty, and potential remedial actions. The vendor must also provide trailer manuals and comply with Idaho titling requirements, with payment terms to be processed after trailer acceptance.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the documents. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the RFQ suggests that pricing will be comprehensive and include all costs associated with meeting the trailer specifications. The contract will require the winning vendor to remit a 1.25% administrative fee to the state on a quarterly basis, which is a standard condition in Idaho state contracts. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage with specified minimum limits. The State of Idaho and the contracting agency must be named as additional insureds on liability policies. The contract allows for potential termination by IDFG for cause, fiscal necessity, or convenience, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
