Eq Rental Hydro-Vac w/Operator D-8

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases, on behalf of Highway District 8, is issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) to award a master agreement contract for the rental of a hydro-vacuum truck with an operator. The equipment will be used for the hydro-vacuum cleaning of roadway drainage structures located within KYTC District 8 counties. The contract period is from the award date through April 30, 2023, with four one-year renewal options. Bids must be submitted electronically by 1:30 pm on May 4, 2022 and will be evaluated based on best value, with 95% of the score based on price and 5% based on response time. Vendors must provide proof of insurance and comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Payment will be made based on actual hours of operation, with travel time, downtime, and disposal time considered incidental to the contract price.

The RFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Similarly, the incumbent contractor is not identified, and no details are provided on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract does not have a stated award value or budget range, but the estimated usage is 1 hour, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to acquire larger requirements through other competitive processes.
