IDFG Bridges, Abutments, and Foundations

The State of Idaho, specifically through the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and the Idaho Division of Purchasing, is soliciting bids for the procurement of new modular steel bridges, abutments, and foundations for stream crossings near the Indianola Ranger Station in North Fork, Idaho. The contract opportunity requires vendors to design, construct, and deliver two bridges with associated infrastructure, adhering to specific technical specifications and compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act, which mandates all iron and steel be produced in the United States. Key deliverables include complete bridge systems with abutments and foundations, along with potential installation and migration services. The procurement appears to involve data center tracking software and infrastructure management solutions, with requirements for comprehensive implementation, training, and migration services. The bid submission deadline is June 10, 2024, with an expectation that the successful vendor will provide a fully burdened, FOB Destination total cost for the requested items. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on responsiveness, vendor qualifications, technical capabilities, and total cost, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the contract includes standard State of Idaho procurement requirements that ensure fair and competitive bidding. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation coverage, with the State of Idaho and its departments to be named as additional insureds. The contract term is anticipated to be one year, with potential optional renewals for up to four additional years. Though precise budget ranges are not definitively stated, the procurement suggests a significant infrastructure investment with potential for substantial contract value. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation, and the solicitation appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and logistical requirements for bridge infrastructure and data center tracking software solutions.
