Landfill trailer tipper

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is soliciting sealed bids for a fully portable landfill trailer tipper to be delivered and installed at their 121 Regional Disposal Facility in Melissa, Texas. The procurement seeks one low-profile trailer tipper with specific technical requirements, including A36 steel construction, hydraulic outriggers, a 63-degree tipping angle, a minimum 50-ton lifting capacity, and a power unit with a John Deere 4045 diesel engine. Bids are due on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM Central Time, with submissions accepted electronically via ntmwd.bonfirehub.com or through physical delivery to NTMWD's Procurement Department in Wylie, Texas. The initial contract term will run through September 30, 2026, with options to automatically renew for four additional one-year periods, not exceeding a total of five years. NTMWD will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with evaluation criteria including compliance with technical requirements, insurance coverage, and adherence to Texas state laws.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including a Bid Signature Form, Bid Pricing Form, references, and certifications of compliance with non-discrimination and anti-boycott provisions. The successful contractor will be responsible for delivery, installation, and providing a comprehensive operation and maintenance manual, with a minimum one-year warranty on all work and materials. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the bid includes a pricing form with a primary line item for the trailer tipper and an optional section for replacement parts discount. Vendors are required to submit an inclusive price covering all services, travel expenses, delivery, installation, and start-up, with the expectation that no additional funds will be allocated beyond the submitted bid price. The procurement appears to be focused on securing a high-quality, versatile landfill trailer tipper to support NTMWD's disposal operations.
