DNR-269000 Pipe scope with depth finder

The contract involves the procurement of a pipe scope with an integrated depth finder, specifically requiring the Forbest Mid Range 3388MT Sewer Camera with 200-foot cable and footage counter, along with the Forbest Advanced 512Hz Wireless Locator with Depth Indicator. The scope emphasizes that no substitutions are permitted and that shipping costs must be included in the pricing. The solicitation, issued by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Engineering Administration, is open to responsive and responsible bidders, with award criteria favoring the lowest responsive bid, applying preferences for Buy American, Buy Ohio, and Veteran-Friendly Business certifications. The contract value is estimated to be between $5,000 and $15,000, with delivery performance expected within Ohio, and the contract is valid through June 30, 2026. Supporting documentation details specifications for the equipment, delivery terms (F.O.B. Destination, Pre-Paid, Allowed), and invoice submission instructions, with the contract administration managed through Ohio's financial shared services. The procurement process includes a formal solicitation with a response deadline of December 12, 2025. The documents also reference related RFQs and RFPs for software renewals and environmental remediation services, but these are separate from the primary equipment contract. While the documents outline evaluation factors, they do not specify detailed scoring criteria or FAR clauses, as the procurement is state-level and does not incorporate federal contract clauses. The process requires offerors to submit technical and cost proposals via OhioBuys, with clear instructions on proposal formatting, page limits, and submission procedures, including a preference for electronic PDF attachments. The scope of work for application review services under the Brownfield Remediation Program involves periodic reports and presentations, with performance inspections conducted at the destination upon delivery, and no specific standards or military marking requirements are specified. Overall, the contract emphasizes strict adherence to specifications, responsible pricing, and compliance with state procurement policies.
