Purchase of Electric Motors and Contactors *218844

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids for the purchase of Electric Motors and Contactors under solicitation number IFS DWU B1700033, with submissions required online via the Bonfire procurement portal by July 13, 2026. All products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with no substitutions or alternatives permitted, and must meet the minimum specifications outlined in the solicitation. Deliveries are FOB the designated site at Park and Recreation Design and Support, 5620 Parkdale Dr., Dallas, TX 75227, meaning vendors must include all freight costs in their pricing. The City of Dallas is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, so these must not be included in quotes. Vendors must provide current certificates for General Liability and Workers Compensation insurance prior to purchase order release, and are required to indemnify the City, its officers, agents, and employees against all claims arising from product defects, breach of warranty, or subcontractor faults, unless injury or damage results solely from the City’s negligent use. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor, with disqualification possible for failure to meet pass/fail criteria including financial stability, outstanding liabilities to the City (such as unpaid property taxes, utilities, or permits), past performance involving excessive or frivolous claims, default on previous City contracts, lack of capacity due to pending work, collusion among bidders, or failure to submit a required conflict of interest disclosure in compliance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176. The City retains the right to reject any nonconforming deliveries at its sole discretion and will not pay for return shipping, restocking, or any charges related to rejected goods. Invoices must be submitted after delivery and payment is contingent upon successful inspection and acceptance by the City, which serves as the final judge of product conformity. No interest accrues on late payments due to disputes or withheld amounts, and the City may offset any contract payments against debts owed by the vendor. Contracts cannot be assigned without prior written consent, and all performance is subject to Charter and Ordinances of the City of Dallas and Texas state law, with exclusive venue in Dallas County.
