ARFP-0809-TPK2700000004-1 | (1) Vacuum - Truck

The West Virginia Parkways Authority is soliciting proposals for the procurement of one new, unused, current-model-year or newer truck equipped with integrated combination jet/vacuum equipment. The vehicle must feature a white chassis cab finish and meet specific technical requirements, including hydraulic debris-body dumping, a hydraulically operated rear door with positive locking, a rear backup camera, and work lights. Proposals must be submitted electronically via wvOASIS and divided into a Technical Proposal and a separate Cost Proposal. The evaluation follows a Best-Value methodology based on a 100-point scale, with the highest weight given to the total delivered price, followed by vacuum and cleaning performance, truck configuration, and service support. The contract is contingent upon the appropriation of funds and requires a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount. The successful vendor must provide performance and labor/material payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract value, as well as proof of workers' compensation insurance. Payment is prohibited in advance and is only permitted in arrears following a complete inspection and verification by the Authority to ensure the unit meets all specifications. The vendor is responsible for correcting any identified deficiencies at their own expense prior to final acceptance. Performance begins immediately upon receipt of a notice to proceed, with the contract term extending until delivery, not to exceed one fiscal year.
