Machine Shop Component Parts, Machine Work and Repairs

The City of Tucson is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid No. 270172 for a one-year service agreement to provide machine shop services, component parts, and engine repairs. The scope of work focuses on maintaining critical infrastructure for Tucson Water, specifically natural gas industrial engines such as Waukesha and Caterpillar models, as well as light-duty gasoline engine overhauls for the City fleet, including Ford, GM, and Ram platforms. Key deliverables include cylinder head rebuilding, valve and seat replacement, pressure testing, resurfacing, and long block overhaul services. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 19, 2026, and the City reserves the right to award the contract by individual line item, group, or in total based on the most advantageous terms. Contractors must be registered with the City's Business Services Department and hold a valid City of Tucson Business License. Performance is governed by strict quality and delivery standards, including FOB Destination Freight Prepaid terms and a requirement that defective products be replaced within seven days. Because the contract may involve American Rescue Plan Act funding, vendors must comply with federal regulations regarding non-discrimination, minority and women-owned business participation, and anti-lobbying certifications. Additionally, the agreement mandates adherence to comprehensive data protection and cybersecurity frameworks, such as NIST and ISO standards, and requires compliance with OSHA and ADA regulations. Payment is typically processed within 21 calendar days following the receipt of goods and a correct invoice.
