Truck Retrofitters Opportunity Summary

This is a Scope of Work document for truck retrofitting services issued by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The project involves retrofitting heavy-duty diesel trucks with emissions control equipment to meet environmental standards. The scope encompasses the installation of diesel particulate filters, selective catalytic reduction systems, and associated exhaust treatment components on an estimated fleet of 150-200 vehicles. Interested bidders must submit proposals by the specified deadline, with award anticipated within 60 days of proposal submission. The contract term is established for one year with two optional one-year renewal periods, allowing for potential fleet expansion and ongoing maintenance services. Site visits to TxDOT facilities are encouraged to assess current vehicle conditions and retrofit requirements prior to proposal submission.

Pricing shall be submitted on a per-vehicle basis, with separate line items for equipment, labor, and quality assurance testing. The contract includes provisions for small business set-asides and encourages participation from minority-owned and women-owned enterprises. Funding for this initiative derives from the State Highway Fund and federal environmental grant programs, with an estimated total project value of $2.5 to $3.2 million across the contract period. The current fleet age and emissions profile necessitate expedited retrofitting to achieve state and federal compliance deadlines. Bidders should demonstrate experience with heavy-duty truck retrofitting, provide equipment certifications, and establish clear timelines for completion of individual vehicle conversions.
