Map drawer 2024

Stephen F. Austin State University has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB #MAP DRAWER 2024) for procuring ten XLFF6508-P extra-large flat file map drawers for their library. The specific map drawers must measure 64.75" x 49.375" x 34.25", feature 8 drawers, and be in a putty color. Bids are due on January 6, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. and must be submitted via email to bids@sfasu.edu. Bidders are required to provide a signed Invitation to Bid, Non-Collusion Affidavit (Exhibit A), and acknowledgment of any addenda. The university will evaluate bids based on low line-item bid, low total of line items, or combinations that best serve their institutional interests. Required vendor qualifications include maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, which encompasses workers' compensation, general liability ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate), and automobile liability ($1M combined single limit). Potential vendors can direct questions to Contracting Specialist Nicole Ivancic at 936-468-4472 or ivancickn@sfasu.edu.

The procurement includes vendor preference options under Rule 34 TAC 20.38, which provides advantages for several categories of businesses, including Texas-based businesses, HUB-certified vendors, businesses owned by persons with disabilities, and vendors using recycled materials or products from economically depressed areas. All bids will be considered F.O.B. destination, and the university is exempt from state sales and federal excise tax. Delivery logistics have been detailed in Addendum 2, which specifies the delivery location as 905 East Library Drive West in Nacogdoches, Texas, with a receiving contact of Jeanne Porterfield. The delivery site can accommodate a 53ft tractor trailer and has a raised loading dock, with specific requirements for navigating doorways and a freight elevator for second-floor installation. The carrier will be responsible for uncrating and removing debris, though no on-site dumpster is available. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the procurement is for ten map drawer units with associated freight charges.
