Work Zone Safety Trucks

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), through the Idaho Division of Purchasing, is seeking bids for Work Zone Safety Trucks across multiple ITD district yard locations. The procurement involves purchasing 29 trucks across three distinct categories: 18,000 lbs GVWR, 26,000 lbs GVWR, and 26,000 lbs GVWR with a hooklift system. Each district yard will receive between 2-4 trucks, with comprehensive specifications requiring specific truck chassis configurations, flatbed equipment, work baskets, specialized lighting, cameras, and additional accessories. A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be conducted via Microsoft Teams and potentially in-person to review detailed technical specifications and address vendor questions. Bids must be submitted electronically through the IPRO system by September 26, 2024, with delivery requirements stipulating that trucks must be completed and delivered within 365 days after order receipt. Evaluation criteria include lowest total cost, responsiveness, and the ability to meet all technical specifications, with the state reserving the right to award on an all-or-none basis to the most responsible bidder.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation mentioned in the documentation. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation, with insurance certificates naming the State of Idaho and its agencies as additional insured. The contract requires a minimum one-year warranty on all equipment and mandates vendor-provided training for ITD personnel on vehicle operation and maintenance. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a significant investment in work zone safety infrastructure. Successful vendors must comply with Idaho state procurement laws, provide all required documentation including the State of Idaho Signature Page, and be prepared to meet stringent technical, operational, and administrative requirements. Payments will be processed in accordance with Idaho Code 67-2302, and the contract includes provisions for potential one-year renewals upon mutual agreement.
