Bid Invitation Summary

This is a Bid Invitation document from Tarrant County, Texas for the annual purchase of flexible road base materials used to repair failing pavement on an as-needed basis. The county is soliciting competitive bids for the supply and delivery of these materials throughout the fiscal year. The invitation outlines specifications for the road base materials, including gradation requirements and quality standards necessary for pavement repair applications. Bidders are required to submit proposals by the stated deadline, with evaluation based on price, material quality, delivery capability, and the bidder's experience in supplying similar products to municipal entities. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder meeting all technical specifications and requirements. The resulting contract will remain in effect for one year, with potential renewal options available at the county's discretion based on performance and continued need.

The pricing structure requires bidders to submit unit prices for the flexible road base materials, typically quoted on a per-ton or per-cubic-yard basis depending on delivery and application methods. There are no stated set-asides for disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses noted in this invitation. The contract will be funded through Tarrant County's general budget allocations for road maintenance and repair operations. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to meet delivery schedules and maintain consistent material quality throughout the contract term. All materials must comply with applicable Texas Department of Transportation standards and local specifications for road base materials used in pavement stabilization and repair projects.

Bid Attributes

1 Cooperative Purchasing Confirmation

Tarrant County has the lead role in developing and encouraging Cooperative Purchasing efforts among governmental entities that participate in its Cooperative Purchasing Program. Cooperative Purchasing can be a great benefit to Tarrant County vendors by providing an avenue to offer materials and services to participating entities. A current list of participating entities is included in this solicitation and an up-to-date list can be found on the Tarrant County website:

https://www.tarrantcountytx.gov/content/dam/main/purchasing/Cooperative_Purchasing/ParticipatingEntities.pdf

If you, the Bidder, check Yes, the following will apply:

a) Governmental Entities utilizing Intergovernmental Contracts with Tarrant County will be eligible, but not obligated, to purchase materials and services under the contract(s) awarded because of the solicitation. All purchases by Governmental Entities other than Tarrant County will be billed directly to that Governmental Entity and paid by that Governmental Entity. Tarrant County will not be responsible for another Governmental Entity’s debts. Each Governmental Entity will order their own material and services as needed.

b) Delivery to governmental entities located within Tarrant County will be at no charge or as otherwise provided for in the Award Document. Delivery charges, if any, for governmental entities located outside Tarrant County shall be negotiated between the Vendor and each governmental entity.

c) Tarrant County utilizes County Purchase Orders as its primary means of encumbering funds and pays for goods and services utilizing Vendor invoices. In the event Governmental Entities utilizing InterGovernmental Contracts use other payment methods, including but not limited to, purchasing cards, debit cards, check requests or other methods which cause the Vendor to incur service, processing, or other fees, these fees are the responsibility of that Governmental Entity, unless otherwise negotiated with the Vendor.

d) Vendor(s) awarded contract(s) resulting from bid will be responsible for providing to Tarrant County, at no additional charge, a complete list of all governmental entities currently utilizing the contract and their annual expenditures. This information should be provided ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the contract, or as otherwise requested by Tarrant County.

Should other Governmental Entities decide to participate in this contract, would you, as the Vendor, agree that all terms, conditions, specifications, and pricing would apply? A “NO” answer could result in complete rejection of the bid.

Yes No (Required: Check only one)

2 Secondary/Alternate Award Agreement Confirmation

Secondary or Alternate Vendors serve in a backup capacity only. In the event the Primary is unable to honor the terms and conditions of the contract, the Secondary Vendor(s) may be called.

Any attempt to increase their awarded price(s) may cause the removal of the Vendor from the contract. Calling upon the Secondary or Alternate Vendors does not necessarily affect the status of any awarded Vendor, including the Primary Vendor.

2. If a Secondary or Alternate Vendor represents themselves as the Primary Vendor without written authorization from the Tarrant County Purchasing Agent, or his designee, the Secondary or Alternate Vendor may be removed from the contract.

Would you, as the Vendor, be willing to accept a Secondary or Alternate Award based on the above?

The price to be paid by the county shall be that contained in seller’s bid which seller warrants to be no higher than the seller’s current prices on orders by others for products of the kind and specification covered by this agreement for similar quantities under similar or like conditions and methods of purchase. In the event the seller breaches the warranty the prices of the items shall be reduced to the seller’s current prices on orders by others, or in the alternative, the county may cancel this contract without liability to the seller for breach or the seller’s actual expense.

The seller warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this contract upon an agreement or understanding for commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee excepting bona fide employees of bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the seller for the purpose of securing business. For breach or violation of this warranty, the county shall have the right in addition to any other right or rights to cancel this contract without liability and to deduct from the contract price, or otherwise recover the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.

WARRANTY PRODUCTS:

The seller shall not limit or exclude any implied warranties and any attempt to do so shall render this contract voidable at the option of the county.

If the seller is of the opinion that an infringement or the like will result, he will notify the county to this effect in writing within two weeks after the signing of this agreement. If the county does not receive notice and is subsequently held liable for the infringement or the like, the seller will save the county harmless. If the seller in good faith ascertains that production of the goods in accordance with the specifications will result in infringement or the like, this contract shall be null and void except that the county will pay the seller the reasonable cost of search as to infringements.

I understand and agree.
