Yard Crane Inspection and Repair

The State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NH DOT) Bureau of Mechanical Services has issued a Request for Bid (RFB DOT 2024-424) for Yard Crane Inspection, Repairs & Scheduled Service across multiple counties including Coos, Grafton, Merrimack, and Epping. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide annual ANSI/OSHA safety inspections, repairs, and maintenance services for five yard cranes located in Enfield, Lancaster, Twin Mountain, Concord, and Swanzey. Required qualifications include having a repair facility within a 30-mile radius of the NH DOT Bureau of Mechanical Services and the capability to perform comprehensive safety inspections and maintenance. The original bid was due on May 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM EST, but Addendum #2 indicates the RFB has been cancelled in its entirety. Contractors were expected to provide flat-rate charges for annual safety inspections and hourly labor rates for repairs and scheduled maintenance, with an estimated annual contract value of $25,000. The proposed contract term was approximately three years, from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The RFP did not disclose information about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The contract allows for parts and materials to be charged at the contractor's supplier cost plus a markup not exceeding 25%, with the state reserving the right to verify transactions prior to payment. The state also maintains the flexibility to add or remove cranes from the inspection list during the contract period. Funding for the contract will come from the State of New Hampshire DOT, though specific funding sources and amounts were not disclosed. The total contract amount across the five cranes for the three-year period was initially listed as $0.00, with an estimated annual contract value of $25,000. However, with the RFB being cancelled, future procurement details remain uncertain.
