The scope is tandem axle 7×16 enclosed cargo trailers, new equipment only (no remanufactured or gray market items), meeting specifications of manufacturers such as Magnum 82"×16" 12K GVWR Tandem Axle Landscape, Tuff Dawg Trailer 7'×16" High Side Landscaping Trailer Ultimate, or TPWD-approved equivalents. Trailers must include electric brakes, spring suspension with 3,500-pound capacity per axle, DOT-compliant lighting and safety features, trailer jack, spare tire mount, and manufacturer's standard warranty. Respondents must specify delivery time in calendar days; delivery may be evaluated as a factor in best-value determination. Pricing must be quoted FOB destination with all costs—shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, delivery, and offloading—included in the unit price.

Delivery is to TPWD Headquarters Fleet Division at 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas. The contract commences upon issuance and expires upon delivery and final acceptance, typically within five working days of receipt. Upon delivery, TPWD will conduct acceptance inspection and performance testing; units not meeting specifications will be rejected and returned at the contractor's expense. The contractor must supply a dealer's tag within 60 days of delivery, original Certificate of Origin, Texas Title Application, VIN documentation, and proof of inspection if equipment exceeds 7,500 pounds GVWR.
