Treadle Frames & Curb Boxes

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has issued a Request for Response (RFR) for a contract to furnish and deliver completed FAST LANE Treadle Frames, 15 inch curb boxes, and 19 inch curb boxes. The procurement is open to all Commonwealth departments, cities, towns, municipalities, counties, and other political subdivisions, as well as eligible non-profit contractors. The RFR provides details on the procurement calendar, with a response due date of September 28, 2015 and an estimated contract effective date of October 15, 2015. The contract will have an initial term of one year, with up to three one-year renewal options. MassDOT intends to make either a single or multiple contract awards based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFR, which includes pricing terms, prompt payment discounts, subcontracting policies, supplier diversity program requirements, and environmental initiatives.

The contract is not restricted to any set-aside designations, but bidders are required to submit a Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) plan committing a specific percentage of contract sales to certified SDP partners. The total anticipated expenditures for the initial contract term are estimated at $200,000, and the Commonwealth reserves the right to intercept payments for any debts owed. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
