PLC and OIT Parts

The Trinity River Authority of Texas is requesting bids for an annual supply of replacement and spare PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), OIT (Operator Interface Terminal), HMI, communication, and instrumentation parts, with bids due September 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. The Authority is not procuring a complete control system; instead, it is establishing an annual contract to maintain and repair existing automation and SCADA systems across its water treatment, wastewater treatment, pumping, and remote facilities. A clarification deadline is set for September 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM CST, and a pre-bid conference will be held via Microsoft Teams on the same date.

Bids must be submitted electronically via Procureware (tra.procureware.com) and must include completed bid specification forms, Texas Resident Bidder Certification, and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire. The specific list of parts and quantities is provided in the attached specification document. Pricing must be entered exclusively in the Procureware Pricing tab on an F.O.B. destination basis, firm and fixed for the entire contract period with no unlimited price increases permitted. Delivery is required between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM Monday through Friday, with standard delivery within 14 calendar days unless otherwise specified.

The contract term runs for one year from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027. Successful bidders must maintain comprehensive insurance including commercial general liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence), pollution liability ($5,000,000), commercial auto liability ($1,000,000), and umbrella liability ($10,000,000), with the Authority named as additional insured. All tariffs, customs duties, and import fees must be included in bid prices. The Authority reserves the right to award in whole, by group of items, or item-by-item, and may reject all bids to purchase directly from the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program if advantageous. Payment will be issued within 30 days of invoice receipt.
