Trinity Metro, operating in Fort Worth, Texas, is seeking proposals for RFP #25-T055 to replace an outdated fluid management system located at 1601 E El Paso Street. The procurement involves a turn-key replacement of the current Red Jacket 1401 system with a Veeder-Root TLS 450 Plus or approved equivalent, which includes installing inventory probes and sensors across all liquid tanks, sumps, and floor sumps. The proposed contract will be a three-year fixed-price agreement with two potential one-year option periods, with anticipated contract execution in November or December 2025. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site walkthrough is scheduled for September 18, 2025, with final proposals due on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. The comprehensive project requires electrical installation, hazard analysis, equipment demolition, device installation and programming, system training, and quarterly maintenance. Proposers must demonstrate capability to implement a comprehensive fluid management solution that addresses communication issues between sensors/probes and monitoring panels. The solicitation has a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal and will require compliance with federal regulations, including Buy America certification and Davis-Bacon wage determination (TX20250270). The project involves multiple underground and above-ground storage tanks for various fluids, including diesel, antifreeze, CNG oil, and transmission fluid. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the project suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure upgrades. Trinity Metro's transportation services, which span Fort Worth, Forest Hill, and River Oaks, are partially funded by a 0.5% sales tax and federal grants, indicating potential financial stability for the contract. Proposers will need to submit multiple forms and certifications with their response, demonstrating technical expertise in fluid management systems and compliance with federal procurement requirements. The successful vendor will be responsible for a comprehensive system implementation that ensures operational efficiency and regulatory compliance for Trinity Metro's liquid storage infrastructure.
