Pivot Irrigation System for Land Application

The City of Lubbock, Texas, located in Lubbock County, is seeking competitive sealed bids for the procurement, delivery, and installation of three pivot irrigation systems at the Lubbock Land Application Site. The project involves replacing existing irrigation systems designated as L6, L9, and L19 with new units measuring 1,253 feet, 1,219 feet, and 1,544 feet respectively, each equipped with a new flow meter. Specifications require comprehensive details for main piping, pivot assemblies, truss design, tower construction, steel components, hydraulic systems, and electrical components that must comply with National Electrical Code standards. Bidders must submit current printed literature and specification sheets, demonstrating compliance with detailed technical requirements such as minimum flow rates, galvanization standards, and electrical system specifications. The bid submission deadline is January 20, 2026, at 3:00 P.M., with bids to be submitted electronically through the Bonfire portal or in hard copy, and all submissions must remain firm for a minimum of sixty days.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the City reserves the right to consider Historically Underutilized Business requirements when evaluating bids. Bidders must provide three references from customers with similar project scopes and are prohibited from using the City of Lubbock as a reference. Contractors are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Commercial Auto Liability, and Workers' Compensation at statutory limits. The City will evaluate bids based on lowest responsible bidder or best value, considering factors such as reputation, quality, past relationships, and compliance with business requirements. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the project involves replacing three substantial irrigation systems, suggesting a significant capital investment. Late delivery penalties are set at $50.00 per vehicle per day if delivery extends beyond the contract-specified timeframe, indicating the City's emphasis on timely project completion.
