Scales and Weighing Apparatus

The City of Houston is soliciting informal bids for the procurement and delivery of three new, unused digital wheelchair-accessible roll-on platform weight scales for the Houston Health Department. The equipment must be current production models free from defects, featuring a minimum weight capacity of 1,000 lbs, a width of 32 to 36 inches, and raised edge protection of at least 2 inches to prevent rollback. All scales must include a digital, easy-to-read display and comply with M303 standards under 36 CFR Part 1195, as well as other applicable federal and industry medical device standards. Used, refurbished, or demonstration equipment will not be accepted. The contract will be awarded to a responsive and responsible bidder, primarily based on the overall low net bid meeting all specifications, though the City reserves the right to award by individual or combined items. Bidders must submit manufacturer data sheets, warranty information, and an anticipated delivery lead time stated in calendar days. All bid prices must be FOB destination and include all freight, shipping, and handling costs. Payment is due 30 days after invoice approval or acceptance of goods. Vendors must certify compliance with equal opportunity employment, anti-collusion, and Texas Government Code prohibitions regarding the boycott of Israel and energy companies.
