ITB Ready-Mix Concrete and Flowable Fill

The City of Fort Worth is soliciting bids for a non-exclusive agreement for Ready-Mix Concrete and Flowable Fill services through Invitation to Bid (ITB) Reference #25-0231, targeting municipal infrastructure projects including street repairs, road construction, utility installations, park facilities, trails, playgrounds, sports fields, and recreational paths. The procurement requires vendors to provide ready-mix concrete materials meeting specific technical specifications outlined by ASTM, TXDOT, and American Concrete Institute guidelines, with precise requirements for cement properties, compressive strength, and material composition. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience, maintain a full-time permanent business address, and have the capability to deliver concrete within 1 hour to any jobsite within Fort Worth city limits. Mandatory submission requirements include a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, authorized signature form, reference sheet, W-9, relevant certifications/licenses, and proof of legal rights to materials. The bid submission deadline is September 18, 2025, with bid documents to be submitted electronically through the Bonfire Portal, and vendors must be prepared to provide 10 and 12 cubic yard delivery trucks with batch tickets for each concrete discharge.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their operational capabilities, including business hours, delivery capabilities, truck and equipment inventory, warranty information, and cooperative agreement availability. All submitted materials will become public property subject to the Texas Public Information Act, with pricing information specifically designated as publicly accessible. While no specific incumbent vendors are listed, the contract will have an initial one-year term with potential automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent upon mutual agreement and available funding. The City reserves the right to award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price, and may evaluate bids for all or part of the solicitation. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the contract is structured as a non-exclusive agreement, allowing for flexible "as needed" procurement by City Departments. Vendors must also maintain specific insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Auto Liability Insurance, with minimum coverage levels to be determined in the contract negotiations.
