T3145 Automatic Brine Production Plant Systems - Statewide - REBID

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is soliciting competitive quotes for a statewide contract to procure automatic brine production plant systems through bid solicitation #25DPP01106. The procurement seeks a comprehensive solution including brine production systems, storage tanks, manufacturer options, maintenance services, repair parts, extended warranties, training, and installation support. The contract will serve NJDOT, other state agencies, and cooperative purchasing participants, with bidders required to quote on all nine price lines to be considered responsive. Approved products include Cargill AccuBrine and Henderson BrineXtreme systems, with equivalent products meeting specifications also eligible. Each NJDOT location will require four storage tanks: two for brine solution, one for calcium, and one for anti-icing/de-icing fluid. Key submission dates include an electronic question deadline of December 3, 2024, and quotes due on January 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Pricing will be evaluated using a Group Price Index formula that incorporates equipment costs, options/parts percentages, labor rates, and other factors.

The contract is not designated as a small business or disabled veteran-owned business set-aside, meaning all qualified vendors can compete. The contract term is four years with an option for three additional one-year extensions. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a signed Specification Conformance Certification, standard procurement forms, and a bidder data form detailing prior similar contracts. There are no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities, and the contract includes a 1% Procurement Efficiency Program Fee payable to Periscope for all purchases. Vendors must comply with various state requirements, including business registration, ownership disclosure, anti-discrimination policies, and affirmative action guidelines. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract suggests significant potential value for the awarded vendor, covering equipment, services, and statewide deployment of brine production systems across multiple New Jersey transportation locations.
