About this file

This Addendum 01 document, issued by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) on April 20, 2026, provides clarifications to Solicitation 802-26-73595 for 22-foot boat, motor, and trailer packages. The addendum addresses two critical specification questions submitted by potential bidders prior to the April 23, 2026, 2:00 PM bid deadline. TPWD clarifies that aluminum-hulled vessels are not acceptable alternatives to the specified fiberglass or composite hull construction materials outlined in Section 4.1.14(a) of the original solicitation. The department confirms that it will evaluate fiberglass vessel proposals from different manufacturers on a best-value basis, provided all required specifications are met. Respondents are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum and return a signed copy with their proposal submission.

This addendum serves as a binding modification to the original solicitation terms and conditions, addressing material specification concerns that could otherwise result in non-responsive bids. The clarifications establish that TPWD maintains strict hull material requirements and will not accept equivalency submissions for alternative materials, while remaining flexible regarding manufacturer selection within the specified material parameters. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Questions and Answers

1. Question: The current specifications in Section 4.1.14 (a) state that the boat hull shall be constructed of composite materials or wood. Our company is interested in submitting a bid; however, we would like to inquire if the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will accept an equivalent boat with an aluminum hull instead of fiberglass.

Answer: TPWD is NOT seeking an aluminum hulled vessel and will not accept it as an equivalent to fiberglass.

2. Question: If we propose a fiber glass vessel, will you accept our proposal from a different manufacturer with all required specifications met?

Answer: TPWD will award the Respondent whose bid is responsive and deemed to be the Best Value.

Respondents are to acknowledge receipt of the Addendum and return a signed copy with proposal submission.

I acknowledge receipt of the Addendum.
