Switc lawnmower w/deck

The State of Idaho, specifically the Southwest Idaho Treatment Center (SWITC) under the Department of Health and Welfare, is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of a Walker H38i lawn mower with a 64-inch tilt-up deck or an equivalent model. The procurement aims to support the center's landscape maintenance needs, with the goal of minimizing staff labor and extending the life of existing equipment by adding an additional mower to maintain an increased area of new turf. Quotes must be submitted through the LUMA system by 4:59 p.m. Mountain Time on May 9, 2024, with the contract to be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the responsive and responsible vendor with the lowest cost. The initial contract term is one year, with the option to extend for up to four additional years, not to exceed five years total. The successful contractor must provide a one-year full manufacturer's warranty covering parts and labor, and the Department reserves the right to purchase additional related products under the contract. Pricing must remain firm throughout the initial contract term unless mutually agreed upon, and the estimated quantity is for informational purposes only, with the actual purchase quantity at the Department's sole discretion.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. There are no details provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The procurement requires vendors to comply with the State of Idaho's Standard Contract Terms and Conditions, which include an administrative fee of 1.25% of net contract sales to be remitted quarterly. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, commercial automobile liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per accident, and workers compensation coverage with employer's liability limits of at least $1,000,000. The State of Idaho, the contracting agency, and its divisions, officers, and employees must be named as additional insureds on the liability policies. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the RFQ indicates that the estimated quantity is for informational purposes, suggesting flexibility in potential contract value. Acceptable insurers must be rated A-VII or better, and the contractor is financially responsible for all deductibles and self-insurance, with policies requiring waivers of subrogation in favor of the State.
