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

The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation and other State Using Agencies, is conducting a rebid procurement for a single large bucket truck with a 37,000 lb. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) heavy-duty truck cab and chassis equipped with a utility body and aerial lift system. The procurement encompasses eleven price lines covering the base truck cab and chassis, manufacturer's options for both cab/chassis and utility body components, an aerial lift system, hydraulic generator, additional parts and manuals, special paint finishes, technical support services at an hourly rate, and installation services. Approved cab and chassis manufacturers include Kenworth T480, Freightliner M2-106, and International MV607 (2025 Model Year or newer), while acceptable utility body and aerial lift combinations include products from Altec, Versa Lift, and TEREX HI-RANGER, though vendors may propose equivalent products meeting specified technical requirements. Bidders must submit firm, fixed pricing for all applicable price lines to be considered responsive, with the electronic question submission deadline of May 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time and the final quote due date of May 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Required submissions include specification conformance forms, bidder data sheets documenting similar prior contracts, ownership disclosure forms, affirmative action documentation, business registration certificates, and financial capability information. The State will award one statewide contract per cab and chassis make/model based on the lowest group price index, with quotes to be publicly opened and announced via telephone conference.

This procurement is not designated as a Small Business or Disabled Veteran-Owned Business set-aside, and no specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. All awarded contractors must comply with the State of New Jersey Standard Terms and Conditions, which establish comprehensive requirements for insurance, indemnification, compliance with state and federal laws, prevailing wage obligations where applicable, record-keeping, audit rights, and termination provisions. This is a rebid effort, as previous solicitations conducted in August 2022 and May 2025 received no responsive quotes, indicating potential challenges in meeting the procurement requirements or pricing expectations. The contract will be available for use by the State's Intrastate Cooperative Purchasing Participants, expanding the potential utilization beyond the primary state agencies. While the solicitation does not specify a minimum, average, or maximum purchase volume, the State reserves the right to separately procure individual requirements during the contract term if deemed in its best interest. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents provided.
