Air Compressor PM & Repair for WWTP

The City of Corpus Christi Finance and Procurement Department is soliciting bids under RFB 7663 for preventive maintenance and emergency repair of air compressors at six Wastewater Treatment Plant locations in Nueces County, Texas, with a pre-bid conference on November 5, 2026 and bids due November 30, 2026. The contract prohibits subcontractors, so the awardee must perform all work directly.

Scope covers quarterly preventive maintenance on compressors of various makes and models, plus unscheduled service calls, parts and materials, and replacement equipment allowances. The six facilities are Broadway, Oso, Greenwood, Allison, Laguna Madre, and Whitecap. The RFB lists 17 line items covering specific compressor models and serial numbers. Work must use original equipment manufacturer parts and lubricants exclusively and occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, excluding City holidays. Bidders must demonstrate five years of continuous operation providing similar services, submit three current and three former client references, and certify no outstanding lawsuits or regulatory issues that would materially affect performance. Required insurance includes general liability of $1 million per occurrence, auto liability of $500,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation.

The City will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on ability, experience, financial responsibility, past performance, and safety record. Pricing is submitted on unit and total bases for annual preventive maintenance, labor hours for service calls, and estimated allowances for parts, materials, and replacement equipment. The initial term is one year, with one optional one-year renewal and up to six months of month-to-month extension thereafter.

Key dates include questions due November 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM CT, responses by addendum by November 19, 2026, and bids due November 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT. Bids must go through the City's Supplier Portal or in sealed hard copy, as facsimile and email are not accepted. Award and notice to proceed are anticipated in January 2027.
