Electric Self-Propelled Scissor Lift

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is seeking to procure an electric self-propelled scissor lift through a Request for Quotes (RFQ) process. The solicitation, identified as RFQ38, requires vendors to supply a new electric scissor lift with specific technical requirements, including a maximum working height, platform dimensions, weight capacity, and power source specifications. Key deliverables include the lift itself, along with accompanying documentation such as warranty information and service center location details. The procurement is specifically for Latah County and Roberts City within the state of Idaho. The RFQ requires electronic quote submissions and mandates that vendors provide supporting documentation demonstrating their offered lift meets all solicitation requirements. The due date for quote submissions is August 16, 2023, with the award to be made to the responsive, responsible vendor offering the lowest total cost. Delivery of the lift is expected to be FOB Destination, with the contractor responsible for unloading and any necessary reassembly.

The solicitation includes specific restrictions, notably a requirement under Idaho Code 67-2359 that vendors certify they are not currently owned or operated by the government of China, and will not be for the duration of the contract. Vendors must also provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and Workers Compensation, with specific minimum coverage limits. The State of Idaho and the contracting agency must be named as additional insureds on liability policies. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors meeting the technical and administrative requirements. The contract includes provisions for performance monitoring, with ITD reserving the right to issue Contract Discrepancy Notices and take remedial actions if the delivered lift does not conform to contract specifications. Payment terms require the contractor to submit an invoice within 30 calendar days of acceptance, which will be documented using a Deliverable Acceptance Form.
