Multiple Class Street Sweepers

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing (DOP), is seeking bids for multiple class street sweepers to serve Ada County, Kootenai County, and Nez Perce County. The Invitation to Bid (ITB # 569) specifically requests procurement of three types of street sweepers: Mechanical (with Squeegee and Belt Type conveyor options), Vacuum, and Regenerative Street Sweepers. Each type requires detailed specifications covering truck chassis, engine, transmission, axles, brakes, cab design, electrical systems, water systems, and emergency lighting. The procurement is structured as an initial one-year contract with potential renewals for up to five years, with an estimated annual quantity of one unit per sweeper type. Bids must be submitted electronically via the IPRO electronic procurement system by October 4, 2024, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time. The evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest total cost, with the ITD reserving the right to award based on the best interest of the state.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be authorized distributors of the street sweepers and provide fully burdened total costs that include all associated expenses such as overhead, salaries, administrative costs, delivery, training, travel, profit, and supplies. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the bid schedule provides line items for pricing each street sweeper type, suggesting flexibility in vendor proposals. The ITD will conduct inspections of delivered sweepers within 14 calendar days of receipt, with contractors required to correct and re-deliver any identified discrepancies at their own expense. The contract allows for potential amendments to total payment amounts, and vendors must provide comprehensive warranties and training for the equipment. The procurement appears to be an open competitive bidding process accessible to qualified street sweeper manufacturers and authorized distributors.
