Lease of Barges and Boats with Operators

The State of Texas, through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is seeking proposals for the lease of barges, push boats, a pontoon boat, and related equipment and personnel necessary to access bridge columns and the substructure of the IH-35 bridges over Lady Bird Lake (Colorado River) in Austin, Texas. The equipment and personnel must be delivered and positioned within three calendar days of award and remain on-site until released by the abatement vendor and TxDOT. The initial term of the contract shall commence upon execution and expires on June 4, 2024 or as determined by the abatement vendor and TxDOT. Vendors must provide pricing on a detailed pricing schedule for the lease of the specified equipment. This is an emergency procurement under the Texas Government Code, and TxDOT will reimburse the vendor for any other required fees. Vendor performance will be monitored, and unsatisfactory performance may result in termination of the contract. Responses must be submitted electronically by March 21, 2024 at 3:00 PM Central Time.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are indicated. The solicitation documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total estimated price is listed as $0.00, which suggests this is a placeholder value that the respondent must complete.
