New Tires, Retread, and Flat Repair Services

The City of Edinburg Solid Waste Management Department is seeking sealed bids for comprehensive new tires, retread, and flat repair services under Request for Bids #2025-27. The solicitation covers an estimated 600+ tires across multiple vehicle categories, including steer axle tires, drive axle tires, construction and agricultural tires, specialty tires for fire emergency services and pickup trucks, tire retread services, and flat repair services. Bidders must provide unit pricing for tire procurement in various sizes, mounting and dismounting services, tire balancing, alignment services, flat repairs, pre-trip inspections, and service calls with a requirement to deliver up to 16 tires per order within four hours. The City specifies strict manufacturer requirements, primarily accepting Goodyear/Dunlop, Michelin/BF Goodrich, and Bridgestone/Firestone brands, with all tires required to be Tier I Premium "First Line Quality" products meeting extreme service application standards and industry specifications including NFPA 1911 for fire service vehicles. Bids must be submitted electronically by September 30, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with questions due by September 22, 2025; the contract will be effective for twelve months from execution with pricing guaranteed for the contract term. The selected vendor(s) must carry appropriate insurance, comply with state legislation regarding boycotts and business practices, and agree to indemnification provisions with mandatory mediation for dispute resolution in Hidalgo County, Texas.

The solicitation permits the City to award contracts to multiple vendors based on lowest responsible bidder and best value to the municipality, with possible preference given to local vendors whose principal place of business is located within the City of Edinburg. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are identified in the available documentation, though the City reserves the right to evaluate variations from minimum specifications and may require pre-approval for alternative tire specifications through submission of exemption letters. A vendor contact list includes multiple local tire service providers such as Fleet Solutions, LLC, J&S Tire & Truck Service, Southern Tire Mart, Pueblo Tires, Rios Tire & Wheels LLC, Discount Tire Co., Goodyear Auto Service Center, Cornerstone Tire, and T & W Tire, all located in the McAllen-Edinburg-Pharr metropolitan area. The contract requires all tires to be produced within twelve months of delivery and includes comprehensive warranty coverage for defective materials and workmanship for the life of the original tread, excluding road hazards. While specific contract values or budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the procurement documents, the scale of services encompassing multiple tire categories, retread operations, and repair services across a municipal fleet suggests a significant annual expenditure. The City reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities based on fund availability and maintains the authority to terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice.
