The City of Midland, Texas is soliciting bids for a one-year maintenance project (Bid No. 26000166) involving comprehensive cleaning and disposal services for four Oshkosh 1500 Stricker trucks with Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) tanks and one onsite AFFF storage tank. The project requires a specialized contractor to remove AFFF concentrate, clean all surfaces that have contacted AFFF using advanced methodologies such as heat, solvents, and reagents, collect and dispose of rinsate, and provide a detailed spill prevention plan. Bidders must demonstrate prior experience in cleaning PFAS from Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) trucks, including providing examples of previous work and analytical test results. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 13, 2025, at the Midland International Air & Space Port, and potential bidders must contact Josh Batten to confirm their interest. The bid will be received through the e-procurement system until 2:00 PM on October 22, 2025, with the City reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder providing the best value.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must comply with FAA, TSA, and Midland Airport rules and standards, and provide a certificate of product liability insurance and technical data covering the proposed service. The successful bidder will be required to maintain specific insurance coverage, including commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, business automobile liability of $250,000, and workers' compensation insurance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract includes provisions for potential extensions with price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index, limited to a maximum increase of 15% per option period. Contractors must also adhere to Texas government codes, including anti-boycott statutes, and ensure that all iron or steel products used in the project are produced in the United States. The City of Midland maintains the right to terminate the contract at will with 180 days' notice and may remove a company from the bid list for failure to meet specified requirements.
