Stainless Steel Flusher/Deicer Tanks

The Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing, is soliciting bids for two (2) Stainless Steel Flusher/Deicer Tanks to be used for construction projects, snow removal, and other state forces projects. The procurement requires detailed specifications for the equipment, including precise requirements for hydraulic and electrical systems, water tank capacity, deicing capabilities, material control systems, and lighting accessories. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals electronically via the IPRO system, providing total cost, warranty information, and complete technical documentation. The tanks must be delivered within 220 days of the order or as mutually agreed, with specific performance requirements for street flushing, high-pressure washing, and highway deicing. Key evaluation criteria include responsiveness, overall bid cost, and the bidder's ability to meet technical specifications. The solicitation includes a deadline for submitting questions, and the award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest total cost. Bidders are required to provide training documentation and meet specific warranty provisions.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or specific restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no apparent limitations on who can submit a bid. The contract does not specify a precise budget range, though the procurement is for two specialized tanks used in state transportation operations. Vendors must maintain appropriate insurance coverage and are prohibited from using subcontractors without written approval from ITD. The contract includes standard State of Idaho terms and conditions, requiring vendors to maintain records for at least three years and allow state and federal auditors access to those records. Potential bidders must comply with all specified insurance requirements, including providing certificates of commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance that names the State of Idaho and its divisions as additional insureds.
