Inspect and Rebuild Under Bridge Inspection Unit

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), is seeking proposals for the inspection and overhaul/rebuild of a 2013 Aspen Aerial Under Bridge Inspection Unit. The project involves comprehensive work on the chassis, sub-frame, axle locks, sliding counterweight, turntables, booms, platform, boom rest, control and limit system, hydraulic system and pumps, stability testing, and final finishing. The selected bidder must be a certified authorized dealer or the manufacturer of Aspen Aerial Towers and meet all ANSI, MIOSHA, and OSHA requirements. The RFP specifies detailed technical requirements and performance standards, and the awarded contractor must provide a one-year warranty, notify MDOT of any recalls, and provide quality assurance and training. Proposals are due by June 7, 2023, and the anticipated contract begin date is July 15, 2023.

This opportunity is open to the general public, and the State may consider factors beyond just the lowest bid price when making the award decision, such as the bidder's experience, qualifications, and economic impact to the State. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not provide information on any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration, or possible award values or budget ranges.
