About this file
This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) attachment from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the procurement of specialized storage tanks and related equipment under IFB No. 304T-26-830A1.1, with a response deadline of X/X/2026. The solicitation encompasses eleven line items across three primary tank categories: polyethylene tanks for chemical storage, vertical asphalt storage tanks, and a frac tank trailer. Line Items 1 and 2 specify polyethylene tanks designed for brine or herbicide storage, including a 500-525 gallon horizontal tank with two support legs and a 1,235-1,250 gallon elliptical tank with four support legs, with referenced manufacturers including Wylie and Norwesco. Lines 3 through 10 detail eight variations of 8,000-gallon vertical asphalt storage tanks with different voltage specifications (240V single-phase, 240V three-phase, 208V three-phase, and 480V three-phase), each available with or without pump systems, featuring agitators, heating systems, and electrical control panels. Line Item 11 requires a 500-barrel (21,000-gallon) frac tank trailer constructed of steel with a standard fifth-wheel king pin hitch, air brake axle, and DOT-compliant lighting.
The specifications document establishes comprehensive technical requirements for all tank types, including material standards, dimensions, capacity ranges, installation features, and performance standards referencing ASTM testing methods and industry regulations. Polyethylene tanks must meet High-Density Linear Polyethylene (HDLPE) resin specifications with defined density, tensile strength, elongation, environmental stress crack resistance, and vicat softening temperature parameters. Asphalt storage tanks must comply with EPA, OSHA, and ASTM regulations and include factory-installed agitators with heavy-duty motors, heaters capable of maintaining 400°F at minus 10°F ambient temperature, temperature and measuring gauges, electrical control systems with UL listing, and complete operator and service manuals. The frac tank must feature a V-bottom configuration with minimum 0.25-inch steel plate construction, solid welded seams, interior epoxy coating of minimum 18 millimeters, and exterior two-stage paint coating. Respondents are required to complete a detailed checklist for each product offered, entering yes/no responses and providing required information in designated text boxes to demonstrate compliance with all stated specifications and requirements.
