Rebid D3 Dewatering Pump

This state and local contracting opportunity from the Illinois Department of Transportation is for the procurement of diesel-powered, 6-inch dewatering pumps to be used for highway maintenance projects and public emergency situations. The pumps must have a minimum 72 HP Tier 4 compliant diesel engine, 110-gallon fuel tank, steel trailer with 15-inch wheels and electric brakes, and be capable of pumping 2,700 GPM with a 195-foot head while passing 3-inch solids. Bidders must submit detailed specifications and descriptive literature, and may be required to provide proof that the proposed equipment meets or exceeds the stated requirements. The Department will evaluate bids based on serviceability and the bidder's ability to provide prompt parts and service, and reserves the right to waive minor informalities. The contract requires a one-year warranty, with delivery expected prior to August 1, 2021, contingent on funding approval. Bids are only accepted from established manufacturers or their authorized dealers, who must provide a dealer authorization letter.

This opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The solicitation does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The exact award value or budget range is not specified in the available documentation, but the focus on newly manufactured, specialized equipment suggests this may be a higher-value contract.
