Beach Access Mats & Floating Beach Access Wheelchairs

The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to solicit bids for the purchase of beach access mats and floating beach access wheelchairs. The items will be used to enhance beach accessibility for persons with disabilities and pedestrians at GLO certified public beach access points in several Texas coastal cities and counties, including the Village of Surfside Beach, City of Jamaica Beach, City of Port Aransas, Galveston Park Board, City of South Padre Island, Cameron County, and City of Corpus Christi. The GLO will award one or more purchase orders to one or more vendors based on the purchase price and whether the items meet the specified requirements to determine the award that provides the best value for the state. Bids are due by October 25, 2024, and the anticipated award date is November 1, 2024. The purchases will be funded with Coastal Management Program grant funds from the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the contract will be subject to audit.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendors or contractors are not provided. The IFB does not list a specific award value or budget range, but it indicates that the GLO will consider the purchase price to determine the award that provides the best value for the state.
