Refuse Truck Parts – Follower Assembly and Hinge

Solicitation INF-2026-0389 is an informal procurement issued by the City of Houston for specific original equipment Heil parts for refuse solid waste trucks. The scope of work requires the delivery of one Follower Assembly (Part No. 113-7330-001) and two Follower Hinges (Part No. 048-6272). The City strictly mandates that only O.E. part numbers will be accepted, and no substitutes are permitted. Bidders must provide an itemized bid that includes all freight, tariff, and core charges, as the bidder is responsible for all costs and logistics associated with core shipping returns. The contract will be awarded to a responsive and responsible bidder based on the overall low net bid, though the City reserves the right to award by individual item or combination. Bidders must state proposed delivery times in calendar days and adhere to FOB destination point terms. Payment is due thirty days after invoice approval or acceptance of goods. Submission requirements include an official signature page certifying equal opportunity employment, non-collusion, and compliance with Texas Government Code regarding foreign terrorist organizations. Local businesses may receive award preference if their bids fall within a specific percentage of the lowest responsible bid.
