Street Sweeper Brooms

The City of New Haven is seeking to procure street sweeper brooms for its Public Works Department through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2025-ITB-201. The procurement involves acquiring approximately 100 tube-type main brooms and 200 four-segment side brooms specifically compatible with Elgin-Pelican three-wheel street sweepers. Bidders must provide detailed descriptive brochures, material safety data sheets, and warranty statements, with all brooms required to comply with Federal, State, ANSI, and OSHA safety standards. The bid was released on April 15, 2025, with responses due by May 15, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The contract term is one year, with potential renewals at the City's discretion. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsible qualified bid, with the City reserving the right to award separate items to different bidders. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a City Forms Signature Sheet, Disclosure & Certification Affidavit, Current Workforce Certificate, and a Priority Payment Program Application.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders will need to comply with equal employment opportunity requirements. Contractors must provide insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, and auto liability, with the City named as an additional insured. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, bidders must ensure all materials are new and free of defects, with a minimum 12-month warranty covering materials and workmanship. Contractors will be subject to fees from the City's Commission on Equal Opportunities, with fee structures ranging from $100 to $4,000 depending on contract value. Additional compliance requirements include attending a mandatory pre-award conference and submitting employment information packages. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement suggests a standard municipal infrastructure replacement and maintenance contract for street maintenance equipment.
