Purchase of OUTRIGGER PAD - *217407

The City of Dallas, acting through its Water/Distribution Division, is soliciting competitive bids for the purchase of an Outrigger Pad under Informal Solicitation (IFS) procedures, with bids due by May 5, 2026. All products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with no alternatives or substitutes accepted. Bidders are required to submit proposals online through the Bonfire Hub portal at https://dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com/login and must include all freight costs in their pricing, as all items are considered FOB delivery to the Water/Distribution Division facility located at 4120 Scottsdale Drive, Dallas, Texas 75227. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor and reserves the right to reject any or all quotes at its discretion. All quoted prices are considered firm for thirty days from submission and may be extended by written vendor agreement. Prior to purchase order release, the selected vendor must provide proof of current insurance certificates demonstrating general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and the goods will carry a one-year warranty from the date of official acceptance, during which any failed, nonconforming, or defective items must be replaced at no cost to the City.

No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are detailed in the solicitation documents. However, vendors are subject to disqualification based on several criteria, including outstanding unpaid liabilities to the City such as property taxes, license fees, or utilities; history of collusion, fraudulent claims, or default on previous contracts; financial instability; and factors affecting prompt project completion. All vendors must comply with the City of Dallas Conflict of Interest Policy, which implements Texas Local Government Code Chapter 176, and must complete and submit a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ) no later than the seventh business day after becoming aware of any taxable income relationships, gifts, or business relationships with City officers or their family members. The City is exempt from all federal excise taxes and state and local sales and use taxes, which should not be included in bid pricing. No incumbent vendor information or budget range is specified in the available solicitation materials.
