Eq Rental Concrete Pump Truck

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is seeking equipment rental services for concrete pump trucks within District 1, covering 12 counties in western Kentucky. The Request for Bid (RFB) solicits both boom-style and line-style concrete pump trucks with operators, with six specific line items including truck services, minimum project charges, and cubic yard charges. Vendors must respond to all line items to be considered for award, with electronic bids due on November 26, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service e-Procurement system. The master agreement will be effective from award through December 31, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods available. Key evaluation criteria include a five-day response time guarantee, maintenance of two contact phone numbers, and compliance with OSHA regulations. Written questions are due by November 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM, with responses posted by November 19, 2025. Award will be determined solely on lowest price, with the lowest bidder receiving the maximum 100 points.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors must provide contractor's general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits and Kentucky workers' compensation insurance, with an ACORD Certificate required within ten days of notice of intent to award. Insurance must carry an AM Best rating of B+ or higher. The successful bidder will be responsible for all fuel surcharges, maintenance, repairs, permits, and disposal fees. Payment terms include remittance within thirty working days of invoice submission, with a one percent monthly penalty for payments exceeding this timeframe. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive line items suggest a potentially significant contract value covering equipment rental, mobilization, and cubic yard charges across multiple counties. The tentative contract award date is December 12, 2025, with pricing firm for the first twelve months and potential price increases thereafter subject to justification and KYTC Division of Purchases approval.
