Snowplows and Plow Wings

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services Division of Procurement and Support Services is seeking to procure snowplows and plow wings for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), specifically for District 6 in Strafford County. The procurement involves a one-time purchase order contract for 3 heavy-hydraulic two-way snowplows measuring 11 feet and 2 heavy-left snowplow wings, also 11 feet in length. These plows must be interchangeable with existing Frink or Viking truck attachments and designed for high-speed plowing operations, meeting detailed technical specifications for moldboard construction, drive frame assembly, lifting hardware, dimensions, and weight. The bid is due on June 13, 2024, at 11:30 AM Eastern Time, with a required pre-inspection prior to delivery. Delivery of the equipment must occur within 120 days of receiving the purchase order, and the award will be made to the responsive bidder offering the lowest total cost. The contract will be executed via a State of New Hampshire purchase order, with bid prices expected to include all product and delivery-related expenses.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The total potential award value is not precisely defined, but the contract appears to be a targeted equipment procurement with specific quantities and specifications. Approved manufacturers for the plows are implied in the technical specifications, suggesting potential vendors must meet stringent equipment design and performance criteria. The technical attachment details specific requirements for paint and primer coatings, including environmental compliance and specific technical characteristics such as solids content, dry film thickness, and application standards. While incumbent vendors are not identified, the requirement for compatibility with existing Frink or Viking truck attachments suggests potential limitations or preferences for vendors familiar with these existing equipment platforms. The procurement appears focused on replacing or supplementing existing snow removal equipment for the NHDOT's District 6 operations, with a clear emphasis on technical specifications and performance capabilities of the proposed snowplows and plow wings.
