T3133 Large Bucket Truck, 37, 000 LB. GVWR Cab & Chassis with Utility Body & Access. REBID

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property, is conducting a rebid procurement (Solicitation T3133) for a large bucket truck with a 37,000 lb. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for statewide use, primarily benefiting the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and cooperative purchasing participants. The procurement seeks a comprehensive package including a heavy-duty truck cab and chassis, utility body, aerial lift, and associated accessories, with specific approved manufacturers including Kenworth T480, Freightliner M2-106, and International MV607 for cab and chassis, and Altec, Versa Lift, and Terex for utility bodies and aerial lifts. The solicitation encompasses eleven price lines covering base vehicle pricing, manufacturer options, and additional elements like a hydraulic generator, extra manuals, and technical support. Electronic questions are due by January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with quote opening scheduled for January 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The state intends to award one statewide contract per cab and chassis make/model, utilizing a group price index evaluation formula that considers base prices, manufacturer option discounts, and a projected 5% options utilization rate. Bidders must submit quotes through NJSTART, provide firm fixed pricing, and offer delivery within 365 calendar days after order receipt.

This procurement is not designated as a small business or disabled veteran-owned business set-aside, and there are no specific restrictions limiting participation beyond standard New Jersey vendor compliance requirements. Bidders must be franchised or authorized factory representatives capable of furnishing the specified units and provide manufacturer certification. No bid security, performance security, or retainage is required, and contractors must be able to receive electronic payments and remit a 1% procurement efficiency program fee quarterly. The base contract term is three years with an option to extend up to three additional years by mutual written consent at the same or more favorable pricing and terms. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant investment in heavy-duty municipal infrastructure equipment. Vendors must complete and submit multiple compliance documents, including an Ownership Disclosure Form, Disclosure of Investment Activities in Iran Form, and a Specification Conformance Form, with all submissions subject to potential public disclosure under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act.
