Van Outfitting

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is soliciting bids for the outfitting of two Mercedes 2500 All-Wheel Drive Sprinter Vans to serve as mobile ambient air quality monitoring platforms. The project requires the installation of a Tier 4 diesel generator, 10-gauge aluminum cabinetry, heavy-duty shelving, countertops, and two 18U server racks. To maintain vehicle warranties, the vendor must be an approved Mercedes outfitter. Key technical requirements include ensuring interior noise levels do not exceed 60 dB during generator operation and providing a two-year warranty covering electrical, generator, and water intrusion issues. The outfitting must be performed within 100 miles of Austin, Texas. The contract is governed by the laws of the State of Texas and requires compliance with OSHA standards, RoHS directives, and specific ISO standards for tolerancing and surface finishes. Bidders must provide a quote on a F.O.B. destination basis and maintain commercial general liability insurance with at least 500,000 dollars per occurrence for bodily injury. Award decisions will be based on technical compliance and the lowest bid, considering specific Texas Government Code statutory factors. Deliverables include the completed vehicles, electrical schematics, and a one-time training session for TCEQ staff. Responses are due by November 06, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST.
