The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) releases the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Primary Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts. VTrans seeks contractors to perform preventive maintenance and repair services, including necessary equipment and materials for the Highway Bureau in the categories of paving, bridge repair, small and large culvert repair, roadway repair, right-of-way clearing, and for the Railway and Aviation Bureau, track work, culvert slopes, slides, landslides, washout ditching, rail crossings and paving, fencing, airport pavement maintenance, and aviation navigational aids. This RFP will result in the award of Primary Contracts to multiple Contractors. The RFP requires all current IDIQ Primary Contract Holders to submit a proposal. Bidders may propose one or more categories of work and one or more regions. VTrans reserves the right to award Primary Contracts that contain some, but not all, of the work types and/or regions requested by a Contractor. Bidders selected for Primary Contracts under this RFP will become part of a "pool" of Contractors who may be solicited to bid on Task Orders for specific projects in the categories of work and regions for which they are selected, which will be listed in the Primary Contract. IDIQ contracts provide the VTrans with an efficient vehicle to procure services in both planned and unplanned circumstances. Multiple primary scopes of work have been developed that would allow for successful completion of most work activities. VTrans has developed the Roadway Ancillary Scope of Work for Traffic Signs, Traffic Signals, and Pavement Markings to allow specialized contractors the opportunity to submit a proposal and ultimately be eligible to perform work as a prime contractor on select work assignments. Contractors awarded a contract under the Roadway Repair, Slopes and Small Culverts category will automatically be awarded the Roadway Ancillary Scope of Work. Conversely, Contractors may choose to solely submit a proposal for the individual Roadway Ancillary Scope of Work. VTrans has also developed two additional Rail and Aviation Scopes of Work: Airport Pavement Maintenance and Aviation Navigational Aids. If the awarded work or services to be performed is a sum greater than $100,000, then the Contractor selected to perform the Task Order will be required to furnish bonds, in accordance with 19 V.S.A. 10. The Bonds given by the Contractor shall be a Compliance Bond in a sum equal to one-hundred per centum (100%), and a Labor and Materials Bond in the sum equal to one-hundred per centum (100%) of the total task order price of the work unless waived by the Secretary of Transportation. Bonds will be addressed at the Task Order level. The Contractor will be required to provide a Labor and Materials Bond for all Task Orders in a sum equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the total Task Order value in accordance with 19 V.S.A. 10(9). Should a Task Order be in a sum greater than $100,000.00, the Contractor will also be required to provide a Compliance Bond in a sum equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the total Task Order value.
