Removal, replacement, & installation of uclec washer rebid

The Ulster County Sheriff's Department is seeking bids for a comprehensive washer-extractor replacement project at the Ulster County Law Enforcement Center (UCLEC) located in Kingston, NY. The procurement specifically requires the purchase, delivery, and installation of one Milnor MWF27J8 60 lb. capacity suspended washer-extractor or an approved equivalent machine. Key deliverables include complete equipment procurement, full installation, start-up services, staff training, and proper removal and disposal of the existing washer-extractor. Bidders must submit a comprehensive lump sum price encompassing all project elements and comply with various documentation requirements, including insurance documentation, non-collusion affidavits, and ownership disclosure forms. The bid will be opened on August 8, 2024 at 2:00 P.M., with a mandatory pre-bid site visit scheduled for July 30, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. at the UCLEC. Evaluation criteria will consider lowest responsive, responsible bid while taking into account factors such as bidder reliability, material quality, and specification conformity. The contract period will run from the award date through satisfactory project completion or until December 31, 2024, whichever occurs first.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must adhere to Ulster County's Living Wage Act and prevailing wage requirements as outlined in the detailed wage schedule. The project encompasses comprehensive technical specifications, including multiple voltage configurations, water-saving technology, and a 5-year limited warranty on the machine's frame, cylinder, and shell. Bidders must comply with GreenNY purchasing requirements and demonstrate environmental responsibility. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the specification documents indicate specific technical requirements for installation, including precise floor support and anchoring specifications. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial investment in replacing critical infrastructure at the law enforcement center. Contractors must also meet additional regulatory requirements, including OSHA 10 safety training, anti-discrimination guidelines, and workers' compensation insurance provisions.
