The West Virginia Parkways Authority is soliciting bids for the fabrication and delivery of three tandem axle dump bodies and one swing gate tandem dump body, each constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum with a 14 cubic yard capacity, featuring a self-aligning swing gate tailgate, front-mounted hoist system, cab protector, and a fully integrated LED lighting system. All components must meet strict structural and material specifications, including a minimum 50,000 PSI yield strength, 3/8-inch floor thickness, corrosion-resistant hardware, and continuous welding to ensure durability under heavy payloads. Deliveries are subject to F.O.B. destination terms with inspection and acceptance occurring at the agency’s facility in Beckley, West Virginia, and must comply with OSHA safety standards and industry manufacturing practices. The solicitation does not specify packaging, preservation, or marking requirements beyond material and component integrity, nor does it reference any military standards. The contract will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, where vendors must successfully meet all mandatory technical and compliance thresholds before cost becomes the determining factor. Mandatory requirements include a 5% bid bond, 100% performance and labor/material payment bonds, a two-year maintenance bond, and comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability, builders risk, automobile liability, and professional liability insurance. Vendors must hold a valid West Virginia contractor’s license and be registered with the state’s Purchasing Division. Additional certifications prohibit outstanding state debts, conflicts of interest, and require compliance with employee background checks for access to sensitive areas. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the wvOASIS portal by June 4, 2026, at 10:30 AM ET, with no alternatives accepted. The contract includes clauses on liquidated damages, arbitration, modifications, assignment restrictions, warranty obligations, and vendor certifications, none of which are aligned with federal FAR numbering. The award is contingent upon available appropriations, with invoicing handled in arrears to a designated remit-to address in Charleston, and no electronic invoicing systems are mandated.
