Lubbock crime lab incinerator

The Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS), Lubbock Laboratory is seeking a vendor to provide and install a new incinerator for the Lubbock Crime Lab, as the lab currently does not have an incinerator for evidence destruction. The project requires a turnkey installation of a heavy-duty, gas-fired, multi-chambered incinerator, including connecting the electrical and gas supply, modifying the existing metal canopy, and repairing or replacing the concrete pad as necessary. The work must be performed by qualified craft persons with a minimum of 3 years of experience and completed within a limited number of calendar days to meet the manufacturer's warranty requirements. Bidders must submit information on past projects of similar size and complexity, as well as product submittals, samples, and warranties. The contract will be awarded to the qualified vendor who can meet the technical and installation requirements outlined in the scope of work. The solicitation has a March 28, 2024 deadline for TXDPS to receive bids, and a non-mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for March 13, 2024.

The contract opportunity involves the jurisdictions of Travis County and the City of Lubbock in Texas. The solicitation includes Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation requirements, with HUB goals ranging from 11.2% to 32.9% depending on the work category. Respondents must either subcontract with Texas certified HUB vendors to meet or exceed these goals, or demonstrate good faith efforts to do so. The current incumbent is not specified, and the available funding amount is not provided in the documents. The contract term is from the effective date through August 31, 2024, with an option to extend.
