All items must be delivered FOB to the Elm Fork Water Treatment Plant located at 1440 WHITLOCK LN, CARROLLTON, TX 75006-3210, meaning vendors must include all freight and shipping costs in their pricing. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the BonfireHub online portal, and no paper or in-person submissions are accepted. Every product must be new, unopened, and in its original manufacturer’s packaging; any deviation, including the use of substitutes or alternatives, will result in immediate rejection. The solicitation explicitly prohibits substitutions unless otherwise noted, and all items must meet the technical specifications outlined in the document, including compliance with UL/C-UL 508A standards. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) framework, where price is the primary evaluation factor after ensuring minimum technical compliance and vendor responsibility. Vendors may be disqualified for financial instability, unpaid liabilities to the City, prior contract defaults, collusion, insurance non-compliance, or failure to meet specifications. The City retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance at the delivery site, with formal acceptance requiring written approval from an authorized official. Payment will be made based on actual delivered and accepted quantities, excluding all sales taxes, and the City reserves the right to offset any outstanding debts against contract payments. Contracts exceeding $15,000 for goods or $50,000 for services must comply with Dallas City Code Chapter 15B, mandating non-discrimination and affirmative action practices. No federal FAR clauses apply, as this is a municipal procurement, and no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required. Vendor insurance certification is required if work occurs on City property, and assignment of the contract is prohibited without prior written consent.
