Truck Mounted Digger Derrick

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing, is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a Truck Mounted Digger Derrick, specifically targeting procurement for fiscal years 2025 to 2029. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply up to one unit per fiscal year, with delivery to various district locations across Idaho. The ITB provides detailed technical specifications for the vehicle, including requirements for the model, assembly, hydraulic and electrical systems, derrick capacity, outriggers, winch, work platform, controls, flatbed, toolboxes, and accessories. Optional items such as augers, storage boxes, signpost racks, and a PTO air compressor are also included in the procurement. The bid is due by the specified date, with award to be made to the responsive, responsible bidder presenting the lowest total cost. The initial contract term is one year, with an anticipated total contract term of five years through potential renewal options. Bidders must submit their pricing using the provided Bid Schedule, with no minimum or maximum quantities guaranteed.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly identified in the solicitation documents. The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for the Truck Mounted Digger Derrick. While no incumbent vendor was mentioned, the documents indicate the procurement will serve multiple jurisdictions, including Ada County and other Idaho districts. The solicitation requires vendors to meet specific insurance requirements, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation, with minimum coverage limits. Vendors must provide the State of Idaho, the contracting state agency, and its divisions as additional insured parties. The contract includes a 1.25% administrative fee for Statewide Blanket Purchase Orders, which must be factored into pricing. Although precise budget ranges were not specified, the multi-year nature of the procurement and the potential for annual unit purchases suggest a significant potential contract value for the successful vendor.
