Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest District is seeking bids for a one-time procurement of a new or used rough terrain scissor lift to be delivered to its Springfield, Missouri location. The solicitation, identified as IFB605SW24002078, is specifically targeting a scissor lift that meets specifications based on a JLG RT2669 Engine Powered Rough Terrain Series model, with approved equivalents acceptable. The procurement will award to the lowest responsive bidder that best meets the district's needs, with the option to select either a new or used unit, provided the used equipment is not older than five years. Bidders must submit detailed technical documentation, including operator's manual, parts book, and technical service manual in both hard copy and USB format. The bid period opens on May 15, 2024, at 10:00 AM CDT and closes on May 30, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT, with delivery required to 3025 E. Kearney St., Springfield, MO 65803. The net delivered firm price must include all freight, handling, and other charges, and MoDOT reserves the right to inspect and test the unit prior to acceptance.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement includes provisions for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses and applies the Buy American Act preference of 10% for purchases over $25,000, offering an advantage to goods manufactured or produced in the United States. Warranty requirements differ between new and used units: new units must provide one full year of coverage on parts and labor, plus five years on major structural components, while used units require a 60-day warranty on all parts. The vendor must also provide operator training within 48 hours of delivery, covering safe operation and routine maintenance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests this is a standard equipment replacement purchase for the MoDOT Southwest District, with the expectation that pricing will be competitive and in line with market rates for rough terrain scissor lifts.
