Furnishing and delivery of barber surf rake repair parts

The Township of Toms River, located in Ocean County, New Jersey, is seeking bids for BID-2024-152, a contract to furnish and deliver Barber Surf Rake Repair Parts for the Parks, Buildings & Grounds Department. The procurement opportunity aims to establish a 24-month contract with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, commencing on July 22, 2024. Bidders are required to submit their proposals electronically through the Township's OpenGov Bid Portal by April 25, 2024, at 11:00 am, with an anticipated contract award date of May 22, 2024. The primary evaluation criteria will be based on the highest discount percentage offered off the current Barber Repair Parts Price List, with bidders mandated to submit their current price list during the bidding process and provide updated lists annually. Deliverables include repair parts for Barber Surf Rakes, with delivery to be made to the Bey Lea Maintenance Garage in Toms River, though other township locations are also potential delivery points.

The contract allows for potential extensions of up to two additional one-year terms or one two-year term, subject to fund availability and contingent on budget appropriations. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, bidders must comply with equal employment opportunity regulations and affirmative action provisions. Vendors are required to submit mandatory documentation, including price certification, corporate resolution, and non-collusion affidavits. The township reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may purchase items through alternative cooperative contracts if necessary. The contract is open-ended, with funds being encumbered each time an order is placed, which suggests flexibility in potential contract value. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the ongoing nature of the contract and the ability to order parts as needed indicates a potentially significant but variable procurement opportunity for the successful bidder.
