IFB 160919 -Equipment with Operator

The Virginia Department of Transportation is seeking a contractor to provide a broad range of construction‑related equipment—including air compressors, asphalt distributors, backhoes, excavators, dump trucks, loaders, rollers, water pumps, etc.—each with a qualified operator for work in Wythe and Grayson Counties (Bristol District). The solicitation covers rental and operator services for a large inventory of heavy‑construction machinery, as well as ancillary hand‑tool labor and specialized equipment such as man‑lifts and sand blasters. The contract will be awarded to the bidder offering the best value on an “as‑is” rental basis, with all equipment to meet VDOT specifications. • Comprehensive list of over 40 equipment types with operators required. • Equipment must conform to VDOT specifications (e.g., specific HP, capacity, and brand equivalents). • Work location limited to Wythe & Grayson Counties, VA, implying regional logistics and mobilization. • No explicit project duration; equipment will be needed for the construction season as defined by the agency. • The solicitation is an IFB, meaning bids are evaluated on price and compliance with technical specs.
