DPS Waco Gas Pump Sump and Dispenser Repair

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is seeking bids for gas pump sump and dispenser repair at their Waco office located at 1617 E. Crest, Waco, Texas 76705. The scope of work involves removing and replacing STP sump and dispenser sump, breaking and repairing concrete, and installing new equipment including various technical components such as epoxy for sumps, tank bung, entry boot flanges, flex piping, and a manhole. Contractors must replace the Ultra Low Sulfur (ULS) Sensor for the EVO High Tank Overfill Alarm and Remote Tank Overfill Alarm. Bidders are required to be licensed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for at least five years and regularly engaged in fuel storage tank operations and repair. The solicitation (number 405-25R0010412) requires electronic bid submissions by 5:00 PM Central Time on March 5, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit scheduled for February 18 or 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. The contract will commence upon the effective date and expire on August 31, 2025, with a potential six-month extension if needed.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with potential preferences for HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) certified companies, Texas-based businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Contractors must complete the work within 14 days of contract award and provide all necessary equipment, materials, and labor. The project requires extensive documentation, including direct deposit authorization, tax identification numbers, and verification of experience forms. Performance and payment bonds will be required for contracts exceeding $100,000 and $25,000 respectively. The contract will be awarded based on best value standards, with DPS reserving the right to withhold 10% retainage from final payment until all work is accepted and required documentation is received. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves specialized technical repair work at a DPS facility, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure maintenance contract.
