Weighing platforms

Westchester County is seeking bids for RFB-WC-23452, a procurement for four weighing platforms and associated equipment to be delivered to the Westchester County Airport. The specific procurement involves four PBA220-QD150 weighing platforms with precise technical specifications, including a 150 kg capacity, 304 stainless steel platter, and a 24" x 24" base size. Additionally, the bid includes four corresponding IND231 indicators with RS232 communication capabilities and four calibration services for bench scales. The Request for Bid (RFB) is due on November 8, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with bidders prohibited from withdrawing their proposal within 45 days after the opening date. Evaluation criteria will focus on per-unit pricing, with potential consideration of delivery time in the award determination. The bid requires FOB Destination delivery terms and will be processed through the Westchester County Bureau of Purchase and Supplies, with the delivery location specified as White Plains, NY 10604.

The county actively encourages participation from minority-owned (MBE), women-owned (WBE), and service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOB) businesses in this procurement opportunity. The solicitation emphasizes technical compatibility with existing scales from Atlantic Scale Company, which suggests potential preference for vendors familiar with their equipment or potentially an incumbent advantage. Payment terms are structured as 2% 10 Net 30, allowing for a small discount for early payment. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves four complete weighing platform systems with indicators and calibration services. The County reserves the right to reject any or all bids, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. Potential bidders should note the specific technical requirements and the importance of matching existing infrastructure at the Westchester County Airport.
