Lubbock Fuel Point Replacement

The Texas Military Department (TMD) is seeking a contractor for the Lubbock Fuel Point Replacement project at the Lubbock Armed Forces Readiness Center. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) focused on replacing the fuel point skid, which includes replacing the motor, reduction drive, pump assembly, overflow alarm, and related electrical systems. Mandatory site visits are scheduled for 4/15/2025 and 4/16/2025 at 10:00am Central Time, with bid submissions required by 2:00 P.M. local time on 4/30/2025. Bidders must demonstrate experience by providing documentation of three similar projects completed within the past five years and submit comprehensive proposals including insurance documentation and pricing schedules. The contract will be awarded based on best value criteria, with TMD reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Evaluation will include a pass/fail assessment of past performance, with negative vendor performance potentially impacting contract award.

The solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting goal of 26% for all other services contracts, requiring vendors to complete a detailed HUB Subcontracting Plan. Contractors must notify at least three Texas certified HUBs and two trade organizations about subcontracting opportunities and maintain documentation of these efforts. Insurance requirements are specific, mandating commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability coverage with defined minimum amounts. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will be firm and fixed-price with no minimum compensation guaranteed. The initial contract term will be effective from the award date until project completion, anticipated on 5/1/2025. Vendors must also complete additional administrative documentation, including an Application for Texas Identification Number and Direct Deposit Authorization Form, to be considered for the contract.
