30-Foot External Hinged Square Tapered Steel - Anchor Base Light Poles

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is seeking bids for ten 30-foot external hinged square tapered steel anchor base light poles for Ray Roberts Lake - Johnson Branch State Park in Valley View, Texas. The solicitation, numbered 802-25-63065-R, requires poles that are 30 feet in height with a 4-inch square outer diameter, constructed of 7-gauge steel in dark bronze color. Specific deliverables include poles with an open top design, manufacturer-recommended anchor bolt kit, and base cover. Bidders must provide FOB destination pricing that encompasses all shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, and delivery fees, with a critical requirement that delivery be made using means that do not require TPWD to unload the poles. The bid is due by 2:00 PM CST on August 21, 2025, with evaluation criteria focused on lowest price, ability to meet technical requirements, delivery schedule, and vendor past performance. Vendors must specify make/model, warranty terms, and estimated delivery timeframes in their responses.

The procurement includes Texas vendor preferences and opportunities for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB), suggesting potential set-aside or preferential considerations for qualifying vendors. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the solicitation indicates a comprehensive set of compliance requirements, including various certifications and general terms typical of Texas state government procurements. Payment terms are structured with a 30-day window following proper invoice receipt and product acceptance. The contract will commence upon issuance and automatically expire upon delivery and final acceptance by TPWD. Though no explicit budget range is provided in the documentation, the procurement is for ten light poles, which suggests a moderate-scale procurement likely in the range of several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on specific pole specifications and associated equipment.
