Rented Equipment Invitation to Qualify (ITQ)

The Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting suppliers to submit qualifications for the PennDOT specific Rented Equipment Invitation to Qualify (ITQ). This ITQ will result in a contract that is the first step in a two-step procurement process. Only those Contractors that respond to this ITQ and that the Department determines to be qualified will be eligible to participate in the second step, which involves the issuance of Requests for Quotes (RFQs) for various types of rental equipment, with or without operator, in identified counties. The successful Contractors will be responsible for furnishing rental equipment with or without operators, and will be paid only for the time the equipment is operating unless otherwise agreed to and specified in the RFQ. Some key points of this ITQ include: • The term of the Contract shall commence on the effective date of the Notice-to-Proceed and shall end on August 31, 2027. • The Department reserves the right to use any prequalified Contractors to furnish items of rental equipment, which are not on the list of representative equipment shown on the ITQ Service Categories, Technicals. • The Department reserves the right to procure services covered under this Contract through another source, where the Department concludes that it is in the Commonwealth’s best interest to do so. • The Contractor shall obtain and pay for all permits, licenses, and certifications required by law for proper execution and completion of its work. • The Contractor shall furnish the type, condition, and quantity of equipment that is necessary for the proper and productive execution of the contracted work. • Equipment must pass all inspections.
