Purchase of POISONS: AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL - *217552

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids for the purchase of agricultural and industrial poisons under solicitation number IFS DWU B6000063, with a posting date of May 11, 2026, and a response deadline of May 14, 2026. All items must be delivered FOB at one of two designated locations: the Water/Material Services Division in Sunnyvale, TX, or the Water/Southside Treatment Plant in Dallas, TX, and vendors must include freight costs in their pricing. Products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging with no alternatives or substitutes permitted, despite a clause that technically allows substitutions if fully disclosed—this is override by the explicit restriction in the solicitation. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where the lowest-priced responsive and responsible vendor who meets all minimum specifications and compliance requirements will be selected, with no evaluation weighting given to non-price factors. Vendors must be free of past defaults, delinquencies, or unethical conduct with the City, and must comply with city charter and Texas state law. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site by the City, which retains sole authority to reject any nonconforming goods, and unsuccessful deliveries must be returned at the vendor’s expense. The contract includes warranty obligations requiring goods to be free from defects for one year, and vendors must submit invoices following delivery and inspection, though specific payment office or invoicing system details are not provided. Affirmative action obligations are triggered for contracts exceeding $50,000, requiring compliance with non-discrimination policies covering race, gender, religion, disability, and other protected categories in employment practices. Insurance coverage is mandatory, and vendors must disclose any financial conflicts of interest under Dallas City Charter provisions. All submissions must be made online via the BonfireHub portal, and no attachments or additional documentation are listed, though vendors must ensure complete compliance with all cited terms to avoid disqualification.
