Small Engine Repairs

The City of El Paso, Texas is soliciting bids for small engine repair services under Solicitation No. 2026-0193 Addendum 1, with a estimated annual contract value of $40,000 covering both parts and labor, and a potential option to extend the term for two additional years. Bids are due by June 10, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. Mountain Standard Time and must be physically delivered to the Purchasing & Strategic Sourcing Department at 300 N. Campbell, 1st Floor, El Paso, TX 79901-1153; electronic submissions are not accepted. The scope of work involves maintaining and repairing small engines used across city departments including streets, maintenance, and parks, requiring vendors to operate from a fixed repair facility (with mobile units permitted), use OEM-authorized parts, comply with specified response times, and obtain prior written approval for any subcontractors. Pricing is structured around hourly rates for Group 1 (STIHL, Husqvarna) and Group 2 (Mikasa, Doosan, Wacker Neuson, etc.) equipment, with separate rates for regular and emergency services, though specific unit prices are not filled in and will be determined through bid evaluation. Vendors must submit a completed Form W-9 for tax identification and face 20% federal backup withholding if not provided, along with certifications regarding debarment status, prior contract terminations, non-participation in boycotts of Israel or discrimination against firearm industries, and confirmation that key personnel will not depart during the contract term. Evaluation of proposals will occur in July 2026, with award anticipated in August 2026, and bid openings will be conducted publicly on June 3, 2026, and broadcast online. All contractors must adhere to the City’s performance specifications, including adherence to Attribute 29 for parts and Attribute 16 for delivery timelines, with no formal inspection location specified but acceptance handled administratively through the Purchasing Department. Non-compliance with submission requirements such as missing original signatures, incomplete certifications, or failure to disclose subcontractors will render a bid non-responsive, and the City reserves the right to amend the schedule at its discretion with formal notice.
