T0148 Catch Basin Castings, Inlets & Manholes - Statewide

The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property is conducting a statewide procurement for catch basin castings, inlets, and manholes on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation and other state agencies. The bid solicitation (Bid #25DPP01096) encompasses 51 price lines across three distinct product groups, with the intent to award one contract per group. Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing for all items within a chosen group to be considered responsive, covering various types of inlets (A, B, E), manhole covers, and related hardware and accessories. The procurement requires detailed documentation, including a State-Supplied Price Sheet, Specification Conformance Certification, and Bidder Data Form to demonstrate vendor qualifications and product specifications. The bid is scheduled to open on November 26, 2024, with quotes due by November 1, 2024, and proposes a four-year contract term with potential for up to three one-year extensions. Vendors must submit electronic quotes and provide firm, fixed pricing, with the understanding that they should not rely on data from the expiring contract when preparing their submissions.

No specific small business or disabled veteran-owned business set-asides are explicitly mentioned for this procurement. Bidders must comply with standard New Jersey state contracting requirements, including business registration, ownership disclosure, anti-discrimination policies, and various certifications. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate prior contract experience through a Bidder Data Form, which includes reporting any previous contract terminations or negative performance actions. While the total award value is not specified, the statewide scope suggests a potentially significant contract opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers of catch basin and manhole-related infrastructure components. Vendors must provide comprehensive product information, including foundry/supplier details, specific product numbers, and precise specifications for each item, with particular attention to details such as epoxy kit measurements. The procurement process emphasizes thorough documentation, compliance with state standards, and the ability to provide high-quality, standardized infrastructure components across multiple product categories.
