All items must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with no substitutions or alternatives accepted. Deliveries are FOB to the specified location at Floodway Operations, 2645 Irving Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207, and vendors must include the cost of freight in their pricing. The City of Dallas is exempt from all federal excise, state, and local sales and use taxes, which must not be included in any bid. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor, with stringent pass/fail criteria including financial stability, absence of outstanding City liabilities, no history of fraudulent claims or contract defaults, and compliance with non-discrimination requirements under Chapter 15B of the Dallas City Code for contracts exceeding $50,000. Vendors must not have colluded with others, must not have pending projects that hinder completion, and must not hold any unpaid taxes, utility bills, or permit fees owed to the City. All products will be inspected upon delivery at the City’s facility, and the City holds final authority over acceptability; rejected items will be returned at the vendor’s expense, including all shipping and restocking costs. The vendor is responsible for delivery charges and must obtain a signed delivery receipt from a City employee. A current general liability and workers’ compensation insurance certificate must be provided before any purchase order is issued, and the vendor must indemnify the City against all claims arising from product defects or negligence. Contracts cannot be assigned without prior written consent, and the City may offset payments against any lawful debt owed by the vendor. Compliance with Chapter 176 of the Texas Local Government Code regarding conflict of interest disclosures is mandatory, and failure to file the required questionnaire within seven business days may disqualify a vendor. The City may terminate the contract in whole or in part, and failure to deliver on time may result in the vendor being removed from the vendor list.
