UDOT IFB- Concrete Cylinder End Grinders (QTY 3)

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of three concrete cylinder end grinders, specifically seeking units that are either the Humboldt H-2956A model or an equivalent alternative. The solicitation requires three identical units to be delivered to separate UDOT regional laboratories in Salt Lake City, Orem, and Richfield, with each unit needing to meet ASTM C39 standards and accommodate both 4-inch and 6-inch concrete test cylinders. The grinders must feature automatic feeding capability, lockable castors, 110V 60Hz electrical supply, and water inlet/outlet connections, with each unit including one diamond-grinding wheel and three additional replacement wheels. The procurement will be awarded to the lowest total cost bidder who is determined to be responsive and responsible, with bidders required to submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating full compliance with specifications. The solicitation is issued under the Utah Procurement Code, with bid responses due on January 14, 2026, and all bids must be submitted using the exact pricing format provided to ensure fair comparison.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must complete several mandatory forms, including a Vendor/Customer Creation and Modification Form, a Debarment and Suspension Certification, and a Business Confidentiality Claim form if applicable. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates the procurement is for three units with additional replacement grinding wheels. Vendors must certify they are not debarred or suspended by any government agency and must disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The contract includes standard terms such as a one-year warranty period, during which the contractor must repair or replace defective items at no cost within ten days of notification, and intellectual property rights for custom deliverables will transfer to the State Entity. Invoicing requirements stipulate that invoices must be submitted within thirty days of delivery, with payment due within thirty days of receiving a correct invoice.
