Vertical polyethylene liquid storage tanks

The State of Idaho, specifically the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ295) for the procurement of vertical polyethylene liquid storage tanks for use in storing salt brine solution. The procurement seeks 10,000-gallon tanks with specific technical requirements, including ultraviolet resistance, precise height and diameter specifications, lifting lugs, date stamps, and gallon measurement markers. Vendors must be authorized distributors or manufacturers who can provide a minimum one-year warranty covering the entire tank. The tanks must be delivered to the ITD District 3 location in Boise, Idaho, with a desired delivery timeline of 120-180 days from the order date. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and total cost, with award being made to the vendor offering the lowest total cost who can meet all specified tank requirements. The initial response deadline is February 5, 2024, with quotes to be submitted electronically via IPRO or email. Vendors must provide documentation demonstrating that their offered tanks meet the detailed specifications outlined in the RFQ.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the procurement documents, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. A unique requirement is the mandatory acknowledgement under Idaho Code 67-2359, which requires vendors to certify they are not currently owned or operated by the government of China and will not be during the contract duration. No incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation. While a precise award value is not specified, the procurement appears to be for a one-time purchase of vertical polyethylene storage tanks for state infrastructure purposes. Vendors must provide full pricing details on the attached Price Sheet and comply with the State of Idaho's standard contract terms and conditions. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation coverage, with the State of Idaho and its agencies to be named as additional insureds. The contract will require vendors to maintain insurance from carriers rated A-VII or better and provide certificates of insurance within five days of award notification.
