IFB 161206 Equipment with operator - Bridge

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids under IFB 161206 for equipment with operator for the Bridge Division of the Bristol District, covering Wythe and Grayson Counties, with bids due November 23, 2026. The Commonwealth's small business purchasing goal of 42 percent applies, and bidders must submit small business subcontracting plans identifying certified women-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses from the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity. This is a participation goal, not a set-aside.

The solicitation is classified as highway construction and requires an equipment inventory covering pickup trucks, single- and tandem-axle dump trucks, excavators, loaders, asphalt pavers, rollers, pumps, compressors, and traffic control devices. Each unit must be listed with year, make, model, capacity, and vehicle identification number, whether owned, rented, leased, subcontracted, or planned for future purchase. Supplemental line items cover as-needed equipment rental. The firm and all subcontractors must hold Virginia Class A, B, or C contractor licenses, depending on contract value.

Prevailing wage rates set by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry apply in Grayson and Wythe Counties, ranging from $12.77 per hour for common laborers to $26.68 per hour for crane operators. Required attachments include State Corporation Commission registration forms, subcontracting plans, vendor qualification certifications, subcontractor approval forms, contact information, references, and contractor license documentation. Bids may be deemed non-responsive if attachments are incomplete or if equipment is not verified through rental agreements, purchase documentation, or in-person inspection before award.
