3-SOW Rail Lubricant.pdf

This is a Statement of Work for a rail lubricant procurement issued by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) in Texas. The procurement seeks to purchase rail lubricant for installation in DART's Automatic Rail Applicators over a one-year period. The lubricant must meet specific performance criteria including being clear, clean, colorless, non-staining, non-drying, and biodegradable with friction-reducing properties. The product must prevent rust formation and corrosion across a temperature range of 0 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Packaging specifications require 35-pound pails with liners, and the vendor must provide on-site technical troubleshooting services for the wayside lubricators in use. Equipment repair costs are excluded from this procurement.

The procurement has a not-to-exceed budget of $50,000 for the one-year contract period. All bids must reflect FOB Destination shipping terms with freight costs included in the overall price, as DART does not accept FOB Origin or Prepay and Add terms. Delivery timing and rates are essential contract requirements, with vendor failure to meet specified delivery terms subject to rejection and default termination. Payment terms are Net 30, with invoices submitted in triplicate to APInvoices@dart.org and payment made 30 days from invoice receipt or 30 days from purchase order receipt, whichever is later. All purchase orders are subject to DART's standard Terms and Conditions, which are available in the supporting documentation.
