Tilt Deck Trailers

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ333) for the procurement of three tilt deck trailers to be delivered to the ITD District 5 location in Pocatello, Idaho. The solicitation requires vendors to provide tilt deck trailers that meet specific size, frame, deck, and component requirements, with precise specifications outlined in Attachment 1 of the RFQ. Vendors must submit a complete response including a price sheet, signature page, and documentation demonstrating that their offered trailers meet all stated requirements. The procurement opportunity has a submission deadline of February 14, 2024, with a required delivery timeline of 180 calendar days after award. Award will be made to the responsive, responsible vendor with the lowest cost per line item, and vendors are prohibited from communicating with ITD staff other than the designated RFQ Lead during the solicitation process. All warranties must be provided directly by the vendor, with no third-party warranties allowed, and invoices must be submitted within 30 calendar days of acceptance.

The solicitation includes specific restrictions, notably a requirement under Idaho Code 67-2359 that bidders certify they are not currently owned or operated by the government of China and will not be for the duration of the contract. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and Workers Compensation, with the State of Idaho and its divisions named as additional insureds. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the RFQ emphasizes compliance with state procurement regulations. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or total contract value is explicitly stated. The procurement is specifically for the Idaho Transportation Department and will be limited to Bonner County, with standard state contract terms and conditions governing the eventual agreement.
