Truck Mounted Drilling Rig

The Tarrant Regional Water District is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 26-167 for the procurement of one new, current-production-year, truck-mounted drilling rig. The selected contractor must provide a complete, fully integrated, and operational unit including all necessary engineering, materials, labor, fabrication, installation, and testing. A critical requirement is that the unit must be configured as a legal roadway load under normal transport conditions, meaning it must not require oversize or overweight permits. The completed unit must be delivered to a designated location by September 30, 2027, and the contractor is required to provide operator and routine-maintenance training as well as comprehensive electronic and printed manuals. Proposals are due by 2:00 pm on September 16, 2026, and must be submitted electronically in PDF format. The award will be based on a best-value determination using a points-based scoring method. Required submission documents include a signed cover letter, an itemized price proposal covering all freight and setup charges, a detailed compliance matrix, technical specifications, warranty terms, and three references for comparable units delivered within the last five years. Additionally, offerors must submit a Non-Collusion Affidavit, a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and certifications regarding the Texas Sales Tax Code and nonresident bidder laws, with Form 1295 required for contracts exceeding 150,000 dollars. Final acceptance is contingent upon a successful functional demonstration and a delivery inspection by the purchaser.
