Evaluation will be based on lowest price and the respondent's ability to meet specifications in accordance with TxDOT Terms and Conditions, with all pricing submitted on a firm, fixed-price basis with F.O.B. destination freight prepaid and included in unit prices. Delivery must be made to the TxDOT Abilene District at 4250 North Clack, Abilene, TX 79601 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday, excluding state and federal holidays, and warranty repair timelines are established at no longer than 18 calendar days from receipt.

TxDOT has implemented a preference system for bid awards that prioritizes supplies, materials, or equipment produced in Texas or by Texas bidders, followed by USA-produced goods, products from economically disadvantaged areas, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, goods from persons with disabilities, environmentally sensitive or recycled materials, energy-efficient products, and rubberized asphalt paving materials. Bidders must complete and return the Execution of Bid form, Texas Family Code Schedule certification, and Acknowledgement of Addenda with their proposals; failure to submit these documents results in the bid being deemed non-responsive. Respondents must certify compliance with state and federal laws, including anti-trust laws, anti-corruption statutes, counterintelligence requirements, and terrorism financing restrictions as verified through SAM.gov, and acknowledge that state agency funds are subject to audit by the state auditor. This is an indefinite supply contract with no minimum quantity guarantees or performance bonds required; no specific budget values are listed in the solicitation materials, and pricing will be determined through competitive bidding. The solicitation is advertised as proprietary under Texas Government Code 2155.067 as TxDOT believes the requested items are specific to one specification; however, responses from all qualified vendors are encouraged.
