Tracked Telescoping Boom Excavator

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking to procure a tracked telescoping boom excavator through a sealed bid solicitation issued by the Comptroller of Public Accounts’ Statewide Procurement Division. The required equipment is specifically the Gradall Model XL3200 V with a 60-inch ditch cleaning bucket, fixed-thumb steel grapple, minimum five work lights, full overhaul manuals, ANSI Z535.4 safety plaques, SAE J1097 load rating chart, SAE J994 travel/backup alarm, vandalism protection, and 16 hours of on-site operator training. The unit must be new, unused, in first-class condition, and fully compliant with EPA 40 CFR Part 89 emissions standards, with all components meeting current revisions of SAE, ANSI, and ISO standards. Delivery is FOB destination, meaning the vendor bears all shipping costs and risk of loss until the equipment reaches the designated TxDOT district location, where it will undergo inspection and performance testing by the state before acceptance. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 333120 and is not subject to any federal set-aside provisions. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to [email hidden] by 1:30 p.m. Central Time on August 20, 2026, with attachments capped at 10 MB per email, and must include Attachment A (Mandatory Price Sheet in both .xml and .xlsx formats), Attachment B (Respondent Information), Attachment C (Preferences), Attachment D (Insurance Statement of Intent), and other specified attachments including Product Specifications and Authorized Warranty Service Provider documentation. The award will be based on best value, evaluating responsiveness, risk of non-performance—including past performance scores and financial stability—and price, with no requirement for lowest price technically acceptable methodology. Respondents must certify compliance with numerous state-specific requirements including indemnification, cybersecurity training per Texas Government Code Section 2054.5192, permits and licenses, prohibition of forced labor and boycotts of Israel, and disclosure of any pending legal actions or felony convictions. Former CPA employees may not be employed by the contractor for twelve months post-departure, and former state officers involved in the procurement are barred for two years. No federal clause numbering is used; instead, the contract relies on state-developed provisions and attachments. Invoices must include an itemized breakdown, taxpayer identification number, and remittance address and are governed
