The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the replacement of a backflow preventer at a secure facility in Brownwood, Texas. The IFB requires the removal of the current backflow preventer and the furnishing and installation of a Watts Backflow Preventer model LF909 8-inch with bolts and gaskets. The bid opening is scheduled for February 8, 2024 at 12:00 PM, and the successful bidder will be required to provide a 1-year warranty on the equipment and installation. The bid prices must remain firm for 30 days from the bid opening date, and the purchases made for state use are exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax.

The IFB is open to all qualified bidders, but bidders claiming a preference under the state's HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program must indicate so on the bid form. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose bid serves the best interest of the state, and the state reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. The contract will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and any legal actions must be filed in Travis County. The IFB does not provide any information on the estimated value of the contract or the current incumbent vendor, if any.
