Diesel Exhaust Fluid Dispensers

The State of Idaho, specifically the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of diesel exhaust fluid dispensers across Districts 3, 4, 5, and 6. The procurement seeks 40 self-contained, closed loop, stand-alone, fully assembled, pre-wired outdoor extreme ready, heated diesel exhaust fluid tanks and pumping systems in two primary sizes: 390 +/- 10% gallon and 660 +/- 10% gallon capacities. The dispensers must meet detailed technical specifications and be authorized by manufacturers or distributors who can provide comprehensive technical assistance. Jurisdictions involved include Ada County, Bonner County, and Latah County. The solicitation requires bidders to submit a fully burdened total cost on the provided Bid Schedule, which must include all shipping expenses. Bids are due by November 22, 2023, with a desired delivery timeline of 120-180 days after contract award. The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder presenting the lowest total cost, and there are no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase quantities.

The ITB does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The contract appears to be a one-time purchase with no ongoing maintenance or recurring service requirements. Potential bidders must provide proof of insurance, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and its agencies listed as additional insureds. While exact budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid schedule indicates a unit price of $1.00 per 390 +/- 10% gallon tank for some district requirements, suggesting a relatively modest total contract value. The contract terms include standard state procurement conditions, such as the ability to accept delivery dates outside the desired range if it serves the state's best interests, and compliance with Idaho's standard terms and conditions, which include provisions for termination, pricing stability, and legal jurisdiction.
