RFQt Gas Monitoring and Repairs

The City of Fort Worth is soliciting bids for gas monitoring equipment and repair services under solicitation number 26-0230, with proposals due by July 24, 2026. The contract supports the Water Department’s need for multi-gas detection devices capable of monitoring combustibles, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide in hazardous sewer environments. Vendors must supply equipment meeting IP67 durability standards, capable of detecting hydrogen sulfide from 0–200 ppm and combustible gases up to 100% LEL, with instantaneous alarms, data logging for 25+ locations, and calibration completed in under two minutes. Devices must include calibration kits, hard carrying cases, and instruction manuals in both English and Spanish. Equipment must comply with AWWA Manual M2, NEMA, ASTM, UL, and EN50014:1998 standards, and all deliveries must be made FOB destination, prepaid and allowed, to the Centralized Water Laboratory at 2600 SE Loop 820, Fort Worth, Texas. The contract is structured as an “as needed” agreement with an initial one-year term and up to four one-year renewal options subject to 90-day notice of non-renewal. Award will be based on best value, evaluating purchase price, vendor reputation, quality of goods and services, alignment with City needs, past performance with the City, impact on contracting with historically underutilized businesses, and total long-term cost. Vendors must maintain $1 million in general and auto liability insurance, comply with Texas Public Information Act, certify they do not boycott Israel or energy companies, and operate as independent contractors without employee or agent status. Electronic invoicing via supplierinvoices@fortworthtexas.gov is mandatory, with invoices required in PDF or TIFF format at 300 DPI, one per attachment, and must reference the PO and invoice number. The City does not use federal invoicing systems like WAWF. All submissions must be made exclusively through the Euna Portal, with no mail or in-person proposals accepted. No FAR clauses apply, but local contract provisions govern termination, confidentiality, change of ownership, and subcontracting, all requiring prior written approval for assignment or subcontracting.
