Airport Paint, Materials, Equipment, Parts and Service

The City of Dallas is soliciting bids to establish a sixty-month ID/IQ service price agreement for FAA airport paint, paint materials including glass beads, and parts and service for Graco Brand Painting Equipment for the Department of Aviation, with bids due August 21, 2026. A Small Business Enterprise participation goal of 13.46% applies under the City's Developing Regional & Inclusive Vendor Enterprises (DRIVE) Policy, and a local-vendor preference applies to firms within 3% (for contracts valued over $500,000) or 5% (for contracts valued under $500,000) of the lowest bid.

Bidders must supply FAA-compliant E2-rated paints, glass beads in 50-pound bags with a minimum order of 2 pallets, and paint in 5-gallon buckets with a minimum order of 120 gallons per color. Maintenance and repair services for existing Graco equipment must include a standard turnaround of 45 calendar days for routine repairs and phone support availability from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Quantities and delivery schedules will be determined by as-needed purchase orders issued throughout the contract term.

Bidders must demonstrate minimum qualifications of three years' experience providing FAA airport paint, materials, and Graco equipment services. Bid pricing must be firm and based on estimated quantities for evaluation, though actual orders may exceed or fall short of estimates. A $100 bid security (sealed bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check) is required. Compliance requirements include the City's wage floor of $23.06 per hour for employees on general service contracts valued over $50,000, good faith efforts documentation to meet the SBE participation goal, and submission of conflict of interest disclosures and living wage affidavits. The contract includes one-year renewal options subject to mutual agreement.
