This is Solicitation Addendum No. 6 for IFB 7800 MAS1007REBIDA issued by Austin Financial Services—Central Procurement for the City of Austin, Texas, dated October 6, 2026. The solicitation seeks OEM parts and repair services for Chevrolet light- and medium-duty vehicles. The addendum clarifies bidding requirements and eligibility criteria for offerors. A mandatory pre-offer meeting was held on September 15, 2026, with written questions due by September 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, and offers were due September 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The contract commences upon execution and continues indefinitely until all obligations are performed, with the City reserving the right to extend. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three consecutive years of experience providing Chevrolet parts and repair services to municipalities within the last five years, hold manufacturer-authorized dealer or reseller status, and operate a full-time manufacturer-authorized warranty repair facility within 60 miles of the Texas State Capitol with a minimum of two dedicated service technicians.

The addendum clarifies that offerors bidding on Category 1 (light-duty vehicles) must bid on all subcategories and cannot submit no-bid responses for repair and labor services; however, parts-only bidders may bid exclusively on Category 2 for medium-duty vehicles. Parts-only bidders must be authorized Chevrolet/GM dealers or distributors, not resellers sourcing through dealerships. For parts-only contracts, only Commercial General Liability insurance is required if parts are shipped by common carrier, whereas full-service contracts require comprehensive coverage including business auto, workers' compensation, garage liability, and property or garage keepers insurance at minimum coverage levels of $500,000 commercial general liability, $500,000 business automobile liability, and $100,000 property or garage keepers insurance. Insurance proof is not required at offer submission but must be in force before contract execution, with the City requiring documentation within 30 days prior to contract execution and throughout the entire contract term. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum and return one signed copy with their response by the solicitation closing date, with failure to do so potentially constituting grounds for offer rejection.
