Purchase of Chicago Pneumatic tools

The City of Yonkers Purchasing Department, located in Westchester County, New York, is seeking to procure a one-time purchase of five units each of specific Chicago Pneumatic pneumatic tools for the Water Bureau. The procurement, formally identified as RFB-7459, includes five rock drills (CP 0069), five air clay digger shovels (CP 0111), five 90lb jack hammers (CP 1290), five chipping hammers (CP 4125), and five 60lb jack hammers (CP1260). Bidders are required to provide detailed technical specifications and may propose "or equal" alternatives subject to final approval by the City of Yonkers Department of Public Works Water Treatment Plant. The bid requires comprehensive unit pricing in both words and figures, with vendors mandated to complete a Vendor Background Questionnaire and provide extensive insurance documentation. Key deadlines include May 23, 2025, for written questions and June 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM for bid opening. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, reserving the right to reject any submitted bid.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must certify compliance with several municipal requirements including non-collusive bidding, Iran Divestment Act, and business dealings with Northern Ireland. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with standard municipal contracting regulations and provide comprehensive business documentation. While a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement involves the acquisition of multiple specialized pneumatic tools, suggesting a moderate-value contract. The tools will be delivered to the Yonkers Water Bureau at 170 Saw Mill River Road, indicating a localized procurement focused on municipal infrastructure and maintenance needs. Potential bidders should be prepared to meet stringent technical specifications, provide comprehensive documentation, and demonstrate capacity to supply high-quality pneumatic tools meeting the City of Yonkers' precise requirements.
