About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) specifications and requirements document issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for truck-mounted thermoplastic paint stripers under RFP No. 304T-26-072A1.1. The specification describes a self-contained, multi-color thermoplastic striping machine designed to apply glass reflective beads and traffic line marking material in yellow or white, solid or skip-line patterns. The equipment must operate at speeds ranging from 3 to 7 miles per hour and include a heavy-duty rear operator's platform with an air-conditioned enclosed cab. The unit must be loaded with material and beads at the job site and comply with Federal Bridge law when driven to work sites with full fuel tanks and no striping material or beads on board. The specification references example equipment models including EZ Liner, Arrow Striping Equipment MB Longliner, and MRL Model 4-8000. All equipment must be new in current production, completely assembled and adjusted upon delivery, and comply with all applicable Federal and State of Texas safety, health, lighting, and noise regulations.
The specifications require a cab-over truck chassis with dual steering, air ride suspension, rear tandem axle suspension, and a minimum 200-gallon fuel tank, with platform dimensions of 96 to 102 inches in width. The equipment must include a diesel utility air compressor (minimum 185 CFM at 100 PSI, minimum 70 HP, Final Tier-4 compliant), PTO-driven hydraulic pumps, four 3,000-pound diesel-fired kettles, two ASME-certified 2,500-pound bead tanks, and comprehensive safety features including lighting systems, cameras, message boards, and a Sonetics intercom system. The unit requires a 12-month warranty covering 100 percent parts and labor, with manufacturer's authorized dealers or factory-trained personnel available for warranty repairs and service within 72 hours of notification. The vendor must provide two separate four-day training sessions covering safety, operation, transport tie-down, and preventive maintenance, delivered at a TxDOT-specified location after the unit is ready for operation but prior to payment. Nine optional features are available, including mechanical pointer guides, vacuum glass bead fill units, electronic speed control, laser guidance systems, and data logger systems.
