Purchase of Commercial Dishwashers

Tarrant County is soliciting bids for the replacement of two commercial flight-type dishwashers at the Lon Evans Corrections Center. The scope of work requires the awarded vendor to provide all labor and materials to uninstall and remove the existing equipment and install new units. To be eligible for the award, which will be granted to the lowest bidder meeting all specifications, vendors must bid on all items and provide detailed product specifications, a vendor quote form, warranty information, and specific water and electrical system requirements. The equipment must feature a right-to-left direction of operation, a 480V/60Hz/3PH electrical system, prewash temperature control, insulated and counterbalanced sliding doors, extended feet, a hammer arrestor, and a pressure reducing valve. The contract includes strict compliance requirements, including adherence to the Tarrant County HUB Policy and a prohibition on owing delinquent property taxes within the county. Personnel accessing the facility may be subject to fingerprint-based criminal background checks. Payment is typically issued within 30 days of receiving a fully documented invoice that references the purchase order number. The agreement allows for termination by either party with 30 days written notice and grants the county audit rights for 12 months following final payment. All delivery costs, including freight, fuel, travel, and labor, must be incorporated into the installation pricing.
