Yard Crane Inspection and Repair

The State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NH DOT) is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive yard crane inspection, repair, and scheduled service across five locations in the state, specifically covering Coos, Grafton, and Merrimack Counties. The Request for Bid (RFB) DOT 2025-434 solicits proposals for a three-year contract from October 9, 2024, through June 30, 2027, focusing on annual ANSI/OSHA safety inspections, manufacturer recommended inspections, and maintenance services for yard cranes. Key deliverables include performing annual safety inspections, replacing hydraulic filters, greasing and lubricating fittings, and replacing hydraulic fluid in the second year of the contract. The contractor must be located within a 30-mile radius of the NH DOT Bureau of Mechanical Services in Concord, NH, and will be responsible for maintaining five yard cranes located in Enfield, Lancaster, Twin Mountain, Concord, and Swanzey. Bids are due by 10:00 am on August 13, 2024, and will be publicly opened, with the evaluation likely based on the contractor's ability to meet technical specifications, proximity requirements, and competitive pricing structure.

The RFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The pricing structure for the contract includes a flat rate for annual inspection services, with parts and materials for repairs to be charged at the contractor's cost plus a markup of up to 25%. The estimated annual contract value is $25,000, though the state reserves the right to add or remove yard cranes during the contract period. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit indications of specific technological integration requirements. The contract will require the successful bidder to provide detailed pricing for annual safety inspections and hourly labor rates for repairs and scheduled maintenance. While the attachment suggests a total estimated contract value of $0.00, the RFB indicates an annual estimate of $25,000, with potential variations based on the state's operational needs and the specific maintenance requirements of the five yard cranes.
