Trailer Mounted Diesel Dewatering Pump D8

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide a trailer-mounted, 6-inch diesel dewatering pump for use in highway maintenance projects and public emergency situations in St. Clair County. The required pump must meet IDOT's detailed technical specifications, including features such as a diesel engine, trailer-mounted design, specific suction and discharge sizes, flow rate, and head rating. The successful vendor must also provide required accessories, manuals, training, and a minimum 12-month warranty. IDOT will consider factors such as serviceability and the bidder's ability to provide prompt parts and service in addition to the bid price when evaluating responses. Bids are due by March 28, 2024, and must be submitted by established manufacturers or their authorized dealers.

The contract is not subject to any small business or disadvantaged enterprise set-asides, and IDOT has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors. While the overall contract value is not specified, IDOT notes that the ability to provide prompt local support for equipment used in emergency operations throughout Illinois will be a critical consideration in the award. The contract may be partially or totally funded with federal funds, and IDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantities as needed over an initial 24-month term with the potential for up to 3 additional renewal periods.
