Replace Vehicle Lifts at TSTC Waco Automotive Technology

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is soliciting turnkey proposals for the replacement of aging vehicle lifts at the Kultgen Automotive Center on the Waco campus. The project is structured in three phases: the deinstallation of 12 two-post and 3 in-ground lifts, the procurement and installation of 13 new Challenger VLE10 2-post above-ground lifts, and the relocation and reinstallation of one 4-post and one 2-post lift. The selected supplier is responsible for all labor, materials, shipping, testing, and the disposal of all packaging materials. Additionally, the supplier must provide operator training if required by the manufacturer and specify all applicable manufacturer and labor warranties. The preferred performance window for this project is during the student winter break from December 21 through January 10, though TSTC remains open to alternative schedules based on equipment lead times. Proposals must be submitted via the Strategic Sourcing portal and will be evaluated based on a weighted scoring system: pricing (50 points), project approach (30 points), and lead time and project timeline (20 points). Itemized pricing must be provided for all three phases, and the project approach should detail the implementation plan and strategies to minimize operational disruptions.
