Shur-Tite Delineation

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing, is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Shur-Tite Delineation products, specifically focusing on traffic safety equipment for multiple jurisdictions including Kootenai County. The procurement is a brand name only solicitation, which means alternative products will not be considered, and requires bidders to be authorized distributors or manufacturers of Shur-Tite products. The ITB seeks various flexible delineation products including drivable delineators, surface mount delineators, curb mount delineators, and related tools, with quantities ranging from 100 to 2,500 units per item. Vendors must provide fully burdened total costs, including potential volume discounts, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest total cost. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions up to five years upon mutual agreement, and deliveries must be completed within 30 business days after order receipt to specified ITD district locations across the state. The bid submissions are due by February 12, 2024, and must be submitted electronically through the Idaho e-Procurement System (IPRO).

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract appears open to all authorized Shur-Tite distributors and manufacturers who can meet the specified requirements. While no incumbent vendor is directly mentioned, the contract covers jurisdictions including Ada County, Kootenai County, Nez Perce County, and cities like Boise and Coeur D'Alene. Vendors will be subject to an administrative fee of 1.25% for the statewide contract. The procurement allows for volume discounts and requires vendors to provide the manufacturer's standard warranty. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the ITB suggests flexibility in ordering, with no guaranteed minimum or maximum quantities. The contract will be funded by the state of Idaho and is designed to provide flexible procurement options for traffic safety equipment across multiple jurisdictions.
