Description
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is establishing a pool of qualified vendors to supply a broad range of small equipment and roadway‑maintenance equipment not covered by existing statewide contracts (FAC and VEH series). The solicitation is an open‑market Request for Response (RFR) with rolling enrollment, allowing vendors to submit qualifications at any time. Qualified vendors will be eligible for multiple awards and may be added to the pool throughout the contract term, which can extend up to five years with two optional three‑year renewals (potential total of eleven years).
• Supplies include light towers, cement mixers, line‑painting machines, forklifts, diesel generators, air compressors, waste‑oil burners, mortar mixers, and related accessories.
• Evaluation factors focus on percent discount from list price for parts, hourly rates for services, statewide accessibility, vendor experience, reference quality, and Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) commitments.
• Required attachments: Bid Response Form, Authorized Signatory Form, Environmental Preference Form, SDP Plan #1, proof of MA business registration, certificate of insurance, and various MassDOT standard contract documents.
• Insurance minimums: $1 M CGL per occurrence, $2 M aggregate, $1 M auto, workers’ comp statutory, $10 M umbrella, professional liability ≥ 2× contract value, A‑rated carrier.
