Purchase of PIPE AND TUBING FITTINGS *218143

The City of Dallas, through Dallas Water Utilities, is soliciting bids for the purchase of pipe and tubing fittings under solicitation number IFS - DWU B1300004, with a deadline for submissions on June 24, 2026. All items must be new, unopened, and in their original packaging, with no substitutions or alternatives permitted. Bids must be submitted online via the Bonfire portal, and all pricing must include the cost of freight since terms are FOB delivery site, meaning the vendor is responsible for all delivery charges and any costs associated with returning nonconforming goods. The City of Dallas is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, so these taxes must not be included in quotes. Delivery is required to the specified address at 2900 Municipal St., Dallas, TX 75215, and goods must meet all technical specifications as defined in the solicitation, with the City serving as the final judge of acceptability. Any item failing inspection or not conforming to requirements will be rejected at the vendor’s expense, and the City does not pay restocking fees. Vendors must demonstrate financial responsibility and have no outstanding debts with the City, including unpaid property taxes, utility bills, licenses, or permits. They must also comply with non-discrimination and affirmative action requirements under Dallas City Code Chapter 15B, ensuring equal treatment in employment practices. A Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ) is mandatory, to be filed within seven business days of becoming aware of any potential conflicts, as required by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176. Bidders are required to provide current certificates of general liability and workers compensation insurance before any purchase order is issued. Contractors are prohibited from assigning, transferring, or pledging the contract without the City’s prior written consent, and may be subject to termination of the contract in whole or in part by the City. Payments are contingent upon successful delivery and inspection, and the City reserves the right to offset any amounts owed under the contract against any other lawful debts owed to the City. No interest is payable on late payments resulting from disputes, claims, or the City’s legal right to withhold payment. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder meeting all mandatory criteria.
