Tarrant County is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid F2027056 for the procurement of three fuel trucks to serve Maintenance Precincts 1, 2, and 4. The award will be granted to the lowest responsible bidder who meets or exceeds all technical specifications, with the total price including delivery costs and standard warranties. Bidders must be full-service dealers capable of performing all necessary service and repairs on the equipment. All vehicles must comply with Environmental Protection Agency emission requirements and Federal and State of Texas safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations at the time of bid submission. The scope of work requires the delivery of fully assembled, ready-to-use equipment, including a specific requirement for Maintenance Precinct 4 to have a minimum 2,000-gallon elliptical baffled product tank, a PTO main hydraulic pump, and twelve product reels. Deliverables include a digital or physical operator's manual and a detailed specification sheet. Equipment must be free of decals or advertisements, except for manufacturer standard markings, and must feature individually labeled hoses. Contract administration requires invoices to be sent to the Tarrant County Auditor's Office, with payment typically issued within thirty days of receipt. Vendors must adhere to strict confidentiality and data protection standards and comply with all applicable workers' compensation and nondiscrimination laws. Production of the trucks may not begin until a formal purchase order is received from the county.
