The solicitation number is 073-30-78108-SP, and delivery must be completed by August 31, 2026, to the TPWD Headquarters Fleet Division at 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744 under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all shipping costs and risks until delivery. The trailers must be new, unmodified, fully operational upon arrival, covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and compliant with DOT safety standards for lighting and chains, as well as Texas Administrative Code, Texas Government Code, and federal environmental laws including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The contractor is responsible for all testing, inspection, and removal of rejected items at their own expense, with acceptance contingent on successful inspection at the delivery site. Non-compliance with technical specifications, including failure to match VIN documentation across the manufacturer’s statement of origin, title application, and invoice, will result in rejection. The award will be made on a best-value basis, considering technical capability, past performance, delivery schedule, and price, with past performance evaluated on a pass/fail basis using the Vendor Performance System, and any history of contract terminations for cause or active corrective action plans leading to disqualification. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with immigration verification through E-Verify, certify no participation in boycotts or deceptive trade practices, and submit Form 1295 if the contract value exceeds $1 million. All required certifications and supporting documents—including insurance certificates, descriptive literature, and ethics disclosures—must be included in hard copy only; digital submissions, emails, faxes, and mail are prohibited. No subcontractors may be used without prior approval, and all subcontractors must meet the same qualifications as the prime contractor.
