All deliverables must comply with detailed technical specifications outlined in the IFQ attachment documents and must be delivered to Austin Energy - Sand Hill Energy Center located at 1101 Fallwell Lane, Del Valle, TX 78617 on an FOB Destination basis with all freight charges included in quoted prices. Vendors are required to submit completed Quote Sheets and Offer Sheets by 5:00 PM on May 19, 2026, to Bailie Shotwell at Bailie.Shotwell@AustinTexas.gov, with the solicitation number included in the subject line of all email submissions. Award will be made to the lowest responsive offer meeting minimum qualifications, with payment to be made within thirty days of receipt of properly documented invoices contingent upon satisfactory delivery. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of Solicitation Addendum No. 1 (issued May 11, 2026) by returning one executed copy with their bid response, and failure to do so may result in offer rejection. Required qualifications include evidence of appropriate insurance coverage with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence for Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability coverage.

The City of Austin follows a two-tiered solicitation process whereby initial notices are sent to certified HUBS or M/WBE vendors through State of Texas and City of Austin programs, with broader posting to all registered vendors if adequate quotes are not initially received. Respondents must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including OSHA requirements, and must provide certification of non-discrimination and non-retaliation status, wage theft certification, and completion of wage theft training within thirty days of contract award. The City of Austin is exempt from federal excise and state sales taxes, and quoted prices must exclude all taxes. No specific award value or budget range is identified in the solicitation documents, though the estimated quantities indicate a relatively modest procurement of specialty component parts. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Interested vendors may arrange their own delivery or select a common carrier; if a common carrier is utilized, certain insurance requirements are waived.
