NOI- hydraulically operated, four-wheel drive, rail gear equipped telescopic excavator

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), acting through its Rail and Transit Division, is seeking to contract with Gradall Industries LLC to purchase a hydraulically operated, four-wheel drive, rail gear equipped telescopic excavator. The excavator will be used to perform railroad track work and maintenance. MassDOT requires the excavator to meet specific dimensional, operational, and performance requirements, including suitability for travel and work on tangent, spiral, and curved track, on-track clearance dimensions, powertrain and speed capabilities, and climatic operating conditions. The excavator must also be equipped with various accessories and regulatory compliance features. MassDOT intends to purchase the excavator in 2023 and is seeking to determine if there are any other interested and qualified vendors that can provide a comparable or better value. The estimated base unit cost of the Gradall TrackStar XL4330-V excavator, without optional accessories, is approximately $581,450.54. Interested vendors must submit documentation by August 18th, 2023, demonstrating their ability to provide an excavator meeting the specified requirements.

This is a sole source procurement, as Gradall is the owner, developer, and manufacturer of the required TrackStar XL4330V excavator. The contract will require compliance with various state and local terms and conditions, including prompt payment, electronic funds transfer, and registration in the COMMBUYS procurement system. The contract does not specify quantities, award dates, or contract term, but indicates it may be amended or renewed as needed. No information is provided about set-asides, funding sources, or the competitive environment.
