This is a Solicitation Addendum issued by Austin Financial Services - Central Procurement for the City of Austin, Texas, addressing clarifications to Invitation for Bid (IFB) 7800 MAS1007REBID for OEM parts and repair services for Chevrolet light- and medium-duty vehicles. The addendum clarifies bidding requirements across three categories: Category 1 (Light-Duty Trucks) requires a single vendor to provide both parts and services with pricing in all subcategories, while Categories 2 and 3 (Medium-Duty Trucks) allow vendors to bid parts and services separately. The solicitation closing date is August 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT, with bid opening at 3:00 p.m. CT. Written questions were due August 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT. The contract commences upon execution with indefinite quantities and fixed pricing for 12 months, with annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for Motor Vehicle Repair Services. Estimated combined annual spending is approximately $270,000 for light-duty services and $70,000 for medium-duty services.

The addendum specifically addresses pricing line item 1C.3, clarifying that this line may be left blank as it is used for the City's internal tracking of "Code Red" emergency shipping requests, for which vendors will bill actual shipping costs with no markup. Bidders must submit one signed copy of the addendum with their response by the solicitation closing date, and failure to do so may result in rejection. The City applies local-business and small-business procurement preferences, including 5% bid discounts for local and small businesses on bids up to $500,000 and 3% on larger bids, with additional discounts available for prime contractors utilizing certified small-business subcontractors. Bidders must meet qualifications including minimum three consecutive years of experience providing Chevrolet parts and repair services to municipalities, authorization as a manufacturer-authorized dealer, operation of a full-time warranty repair facility within 60 miles of the Texas State Capitol, and minimum two certified service technicians.
