Purchase of TESTING AND CALIBRATION SERVICES - *218646

The City of Dallas is soliciting proposals for TESTING AND CALIBRATION SERVICES under solicitation number IFS DWU B1800003, with a posting date of June 16, 2026, and a response deadline of June 23, 2026. All submissions must be made online via the BonfireHub portal, and bids must adhere strictly to the specified requirements: items must be new, unopened, and in original packaging with no substitutions or alternatives accepted. All deliveries are FOB delivery site at Water Quality 320 E Jefferson - OCMC 108, Dallas, TX 75203, meaning vendors must include freight costs in their pricing and assume all responsibility for delivery charges and the return of nonconforming goods at their own expense. The City will not pay restocking fees and retains sole authority to inspect and accept or reject deliveries based on compliance with specifications. Vendors must demonstrate financial stability, have no outstanding liabilities with the City—including unpaid taxes, utilities, or permits—and must not have a history of defaulting on prior contracts, colluding with other bidders, or filing fraudulent claims. A conflict of interest questionnaire is mandatory for all parties, aligned with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176 and the Dallas City Charter, and failure to disclose financial interests can result in disqualification. Insurance certificates for general liability and workers’ compensation must be submitted prior to purchase order issuance. The City is tax-exempt and does not pay federal excise, state, or local sales and use taxes, and vendors must not include these in pricing. Indemnification obligations require vendors to defend and hold harmless the City and its representatives against claims arising from product defects or subcontractor faults, excluding damages caused solely by the City’s negligent use. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the contract is governed by Dallas City Charter and Texas state law, with exclusive venue in Dallas County. Payment is contingent upon successful delivery and inspection, and the City reserves the right to offset any contractual payments against existing debts owed by the vendor.
